At the other end

KHI is the entry point for Karachi itself, Hyderabad, and interior Sindh. For destinations in Punjab, flying into Lahore or Islamabad rather than connecting domestically from Karachi is usually both faster and cheaper.
Karachi summers are severe and many long-haul arrivals land in the early hours, which is genuinely the most comfortable time to travel onward. Arrange an air-conditioned transfer in advance.
If you are continuing within Pakistan, a same-terminal domestic connection after a 24-hour journey is tighter than it looks. We usually recommend an overnight in Karachi before flying on.
