PIA Resume Direct Flights from Manchester to Islamabad

With the world fully open for international travel post covid, exciting news comes from Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). Starting the 25th of October 2025, PIA will be resuming direct flights from Manchester Airport to Islamabad. This revitalised service provides incredible value for UK travellers, offering a convenient gateway to Pakistan and enhancing travel accessibility for families, pilgrims, and professionals alike.

Why is this Important?

For many travellers, especially families and those looking to perform business in Pakistan, direct flights are not just a preference; they are a necessity. This new route will reduce travel time and the inevitable stress associated with layovers and multiple flight connections. The reinstatement of these flights marks a significant step in connecting communities and facilitating smoother travel experiences for the Pakistani diaspora living in the UK.

Why travel to Pakistan?

Pakistan, known for its rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes, draws millions of tourists and travellers each year. The resumption of flights to Islamabad opens up a world of opportunities for exploration. From the breath taking Margalla Hills to the historic sites of Lahore, every corner of Pakistan has something unique to offer. Families can reconnect with their roots, while business travellers will find an easy pathway to their next deal.

"Do you really understand the True cost of your Umrah" Embarking on the sacred journey of Umrah is a profound experience. But before you can set foot in the holy cities of Al Makkah and Al Madinah, there’s a crucial step: planning and budgeting. For UK pilgrims, the choice often boils down to two traditional paths: the complete control of a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Umrah, or the convenience of a pre-arranged package. However, a third option is emerging, one that promises the best of both worlds. This guide will walk you through the intricacies of each approach, from costs and benefits to the often-overlooked aspects of consumer protection and data security. We’ll also introduce you to the Cypher Travel alternative, a modern approach to pilgrimage planning that empowers you with flexibility while ensuring your peace of mind.

"Reduce the risk by being informed" Planning Umrah is more than booking flights and hotels. It’s a sacred journey, and for many pilgrims, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s why the details—visa, health, legal protection, data security—matter deeply. Over recent years, many DIY Umrah firms have emerged, promising flexibility and low cost. But as we’ve seen, those promises often come at a hidden cost. Cypher Travel aims to offer the best of both worlds: flexibility through dynamic packaging, and clarity, transparency, and safeguards where they matter most. Below, we explain why certain practices (like outsourcing visas) are risky, what official rules travellers should know, and how Cypher Travel’s approach mitigates those risks.

"Your Data is Valuable and is your Responsibility" In today's digital-first travel industry, booking a flight or a holiday is no longer just about selecting dates and destinations. It's about the information you provide, who you provide it to, and how your trip is protected. Customer data, visa processing, and travel insurance may seem like back-office details—but in reality, they're at the heart of your travel experience and financial security.
