Quick answer: Yes, PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) tickets booked through White Sky Travel can be split into monthly payments. PIA flies from Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi to cities across Pakistan. UAE residents can pay with Tabby over up to 12 months, with Tamara, or with a 3 to 12 month bank card plan.

PIA in monthly payments
UAE residents can split a PIA ticket booked with us into monthly payments: Tabby over up to 12 months, Tamara, or a 3, 6, 9 or 12 month plan on a UAE credit card from Mashreq, ADCB, RAKBANK, HSBC, FAB or Emirates NBD. We only need your phone number to send the payment link. Our air ticket instalment guide explains how it works.
If a PIA return from Dubai to Lahore costs AED 1,500, a 6 month plan comes to about AED 250 per month, plus any plan fee shown in the payment link.

Pets on PIA
Pets travel only with the airline’s approval and under its own rules for crates, health papers and import permits in Pakistan. Tell us before booking and we check with PIA whether your pet can travel on your flight.
Names on your PIA ticket
Your name must match your passport exactly, including the order of first name and surname. We check every name and passport before we issue, because a correction after issue can cost a fee or cause problems at check in.
