Probably. I guess 30 minutes or so to the border. I am not sure how long the journey would take from Wagah-Attari to Amritsar.

I am just throwing out ideas but not sure of the feasibility. Under current regulations a traveller would have to get a Pakistani visa as well as an Indian visa from the city of their residence.

Perhaps BA can operate the bus similar to the one reported here between Bahrain and Khobar. A lot of Sikhs may wish to break journey in Lahore to visit sites of religious interest.

Another thought. Could BMed take on the Lahore flight?
