PIA announces big discount for students.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced a substantial 20 percent discount on fares for Pakistani students traveling to China for academic purposes.
This initiative is part of PIA’s ongoing efforts to support education and facilitate affordable travel for students pursuing higher education abroad.
An official from the national flag carrier revealed that the airline has also increased the baggage allowance for students to an impressive 60 kilograms.
This added allowance aims to ease the travel experience for students carrying essential items for their extended stay in China.
Currently, PIA operates a weekly flight on the Islamabad-Beijing-Islamabad route every Sunday, providing a convenient travel option for students and other passengers.
The discounted fares and increased baggage allowance are expected to make this route even more attractive for students planning their journeys.
The discount is available not only for students heading to China to begin their studies but also for those returning to Pakistan for summer holidays or after completing their educational degrees.

In a related development, PIA had previously enhanced the student discount rate to 27% for those traveling to China, demonstrating the airline’s commitment to supporting educational travel.
Furthermore, PIA has extended its fare reduction strategy to domestic flights, offering a 20% discount on economy and executive economy classes during Eid ul Fitr.
This initiative aims to make travel more accessible and affordable for passengers across the country during the festive season.
