I took a $50 Flight on a BANNED AIRLINE 🇵🇰 + Exploring Chitral

[@katiecaftravel]

have you flown PIA before? Should I trust it?

[@javerialaghari4361]

We flown from Karachi to Paris

[@nixtallas]

I guess there's nothing wrong with PIA technically or the skill of their pilots, it's only that they tend to be lax and break rules abroad (especially in the West) and end up blacklisted there. They are still the major national airlines inside of Pakistan and most people trust them in the country. Whenever I visit my family back home, I also use PIA within the country. But if I'm traveling internationally, long-haul, I'd rather go with Emirates or Qatar or one of those airlines.

[@Hassaan_waqas]

The reason for the ban was a political scandal, a political leader who was in power at the time said that the licence of the pilots are fake, etc. That's why it became a ban. Passing a flight test is one of the hardest things in Pakistan. PIA had the best pilots in the world that can land in any condition possible even in condition of war

[@usamakhan9212]

Hey katie, My name is Usama, I was a travel agent years ago, still book tickets for my family lmao😅, Avoid PIA, instead you can travel in fly jinnah. PIA usually delay the flight or make changing in schedule, And you got a bad luck it could crash anyway. Btw I'm from chitral, I'm chitrali. Can you give me a feed back about my village, did you like the people of chitral?

[@usamakhan9212]

Remember to visit bomborat, and kalash and if you can visit the upper chitral. Upper chitral is more beautiful and you would love it and if you want to ask anything about my village or need any guide let me know, You can stay at my aunt home if you want for your video and can see the Hospitality as well and can tell more about my village hospitality ❤ ❤❤

[@usamakhan9212]

@@MuhammadBilal-uj7fz actually normally she has seen little kid in the sindh and punjab, asking for money. That's why she thought those kids are also asking for money. Basically we have created such mentality to the foreigner in sindh and punjab. I'm from chitral and I bet if you find any begger there. People take it as a bad thing and every know eachother as it's only 6 lakh peoples. That's why no one beg to anyone they feel ashamed to ask for help. Btw in our village even a begger is living a standard live actually better life than me. If they feel hungy they can eat apples from tree, fig, and 100s different type of fruits and dry fruits. We can even buy petrol in karachi lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i lived in Pakistan for 2 years when i was 7yrs old. we would be roaming around miles away from home, going to other local towns, villages and jungles, without any adult supervision, not even telling or parents where we were going, or where we'd been, and "they" call it dangerous. i couldn't let my 9yr old daughter roam around in England by herself.

It feel good to reach Chitral by air as it keeps you away from the discomfort and horror you feel by road but one misses a lot of beautiful place like Lowari tunnel, Upper Dir, etc.

Chitral is the northern area of Pakistan. The children or a girl was questioning you in her native language Urdu: Kya Ap Musalman ho? Meaning: Are you a Muslim. You have decided not to use food having too much oil that is good and try to use mineral water becasue the people living there are habitual.

@Katie caf. The European Union (EU) banned Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) from operating in its airspace in 2020 after it was revealed that a large number of PIA pilots-262 in total-held fake or questionable licenses. This scandal surfaced following the investigation of a PIA crash in Karachi, which killed 97 people. The inquiry raised significant concerns about the safety and professionalism of PIA's operations. It was found that many of these pilots had not passed the necessary licensing exams or had others take the exams on their behalf. In response, the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) imposed a ban on PIA flights to European countries, citing serious safety risks. The ban has remained in place for several years, as PIA continues to address the issues and rebuild its credibility. Meanwhile, 58 of the suspended pilots have since been cleared, but the majority of those implicated are still facing further investigations. PIA's ability to return to European skies depends on restoring trust with international aviation regulators through improved oversight and transparency.

A kind reminder: making vlogs about wine and parties may not be what most of your viewers expect from you. Try focusing on something local, like food, culture, transportation, hotels, natural sights, and their prices. Since Pakistan is 98% Muslim, not everyone visits the northern areas for partying or wine-related activities. The person who offered you wine is a local and may know how to avoid trouble, but as a visitor, you might not. This is for your own safety and to maintain the quality of the vlogs you produce. I hope you will take is positive and does not offend you. thank you
