I was just looking at the PIA website and found that the 74Ms are not being used so much after the 16 JAN. LHR-KHI are going to be on 743s on FRI and WED till May, and just SUN on 74M. 74Ms are not going to going to JFK as well. I think there will be only one 74M in service, to LHR (once a week, SUN) and BKK/HKG (Twice a week) from ISB. Are they getting rid of one 74M as the 777LRs are due to enter service soon?

i'm leaving for KHI in a few hours, can't wait!

PIA likes to operate them to Bombay, Dehli, Lahore and Islamabad instead of A310 or some other aircraft.

yeah, but the London route on the 74M is where they make most money, as pax loads are quite low most of the time and cargo from that is distributed to europe from LHR. That is why the 74M is viable on the route (KHI-LHR)
