"depending on the fare"

Also, it's a PK ticket, so probably not eligible.

No, but you can get a chauffeur service if you have the long layover.

Etihad uses the Swissport Lounge in ATH wich is okay but a little crowded with DL departing around the same time. AUH T3 was a pleasent experience in the afternoon with pretty much no one around - took me less than ten minutes from the taxi to the (okay) lounge.
Btw TK only charges 27,5k miles in business (although high taxes) from KHI to EU1 if anyone can use that..
Hi Nilsrtw, do you mind to share how you managed to get a visa? I would like to visit Karachi for a few days, but I was wondering how to get a letter of invitation, which is needed when applying for a tourist visa. Your help would be much appreciated.

The visa was super easy. I applied at the Embassy in Berlin (no appointment needed) and got it glued in right away - I did however have a nice chat with the undersecretary who was excited about a tourist visiting KHI so ymmv.
An invitation letter isn't required for german passports so I didn't provide it - but any good travel agency in PK should be able to ge you one.

Thanks for your quick answer. I have a Dutch passport. Would be strange if that makes a difference. I am going to check again.

It seems it's end of the party.
PIA has adjusted the fare of this fare basis (SOWE60) to 890 EUR excl. taxes.

I tried to book a chauffeur by calling Etihad, but they say the ticket isn't entitled to a chauffeur because it doesn't show 'Stopover' on the ticket. Another agent (I called 3 times) said that a chauffeur is not eligible because the next flight is less than 24 hours later. So no success till now. Somebody else had more success?

Anyone else got a schedule change for their AUH-KHI leg? It shows arrival 4 hours later than originally scheduled in my itinerary, but if I check the timetable for that flight number/date, it is showing as operating at the original time.

Yes, but I think the difference was only 30 minutes or so in my case. But as I dont plan to fly to KHI anyway, I dont care.
