I am considering flying out of Islamabad with my wife and 10 year old son in March. We wouldn't be visiting, simply connecting. My departing flight would leave around 9am on British Airways and I have two options on connecting flights to get us TO Islamabad, one that arrives at 1:40am (Qatar) and another that arrives at 6:35am (Oman.). We would have lounge access, and it seems the new lounge there is not horrible, but 7 hours is more than I care to sit in a lounge that doesn't have a place to rest.

We would be all carry-on luggage, no checked bags. Is 2.5 hours enough connection time on separate tickets? I know neighboring India has a horrible time of delayed flights, wasn't sure if ISB suffered the same issues.

Thanks in advance for guidance.
