obviously not good enough.

BAK and BAT are in the worst condition...i remember travelling on them last year, it felt like they were about to fall apart! I hope those planes get scapped, after all they are like more than 27 years old.

The given time is 1st November to 23rd November, and with in this flights will be operated by either A310 or B777 or both. PIA will not be allowed to use 747s in UK untill the issue is resolved.

Salam Mohsin Bhai,

My favourite is the BAT mainly due to two reasons. First this is the only PIA 747 that I've flown the most and also it was originally dubbed as the city of Islamabad (my home town) back in 1997 with the golden jubilee logo :-).

Man I miss the 747s. They would fly & land over my house almost daily. I used to wait for them to take a snap shot. Here's a small 20 sec video of AP-BGG I took some 3 months back.
