PIA has a special facility which is a wheelchair or ambulifter that is available for senior citizens, disabled, and sick passengers who need one to one attention at airports, during boarding a flight and getting off it. PIA mandates that this type of passengers must submit a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) in order to avail this facility.
The customer service is very strong in PIA and they aim to keep their customers pleased in all conditions. Normally it does not happen, but if it does happen that your baggage gets lost or mishandled, the PIA Baggage Services department collaborates with the Worldwide Tracking System to track, recover, and deliver your lost baggage to your doorstep. The home delivery facility is available only in the major cities though.
The moment you realize that you have not got your baggage after disembarking from a flight, you should submit a complaint in the Baggage services office at the airport where you arrived. You will be asked to provide the details of your baggage to the Baggage Service officer who will enter these details into a computerized tracking system and give you a receipt with the tracking number and other mandatory details of your baggage.
You must check that your name, address, and baggage details are correct because this information will help to track and recover the lost bags, so that the Baggage service officers can return your baggage to you in the shortest time possible. The receipt number that you get when you submit your complaint is useful and you can use it to track the status of your lost baggage online.

On international flights, the limit is the same for cabin baggage that is, 12 kg maximum with one piece of 7 kilograms and another small briefcase weighing 5 kilograms, and the dimensions are also the same as that of the domestic flight baggage requirements.
Long flights can be tedious with congested leg space and difficulty in sleeping due to seats that do not recline fully. Often international flights as well as domestic ones have long layovers and spending all that time in the general area of airports can also prove to be uncomfortable and tiring. The result is that once you reach your destination, you are tired and stressed out. This is particularly true when you are travelling on a work trip, and need to have all engines gunning when you disembark. You might have to even go direct to office, and if you feel too tired, it may affect your work day. You can avoid all this if you travel in business class because of the extra features you will get, starting from exclusive porter services to relaxation in lounges to some great inflight services. Travel in real comfort and luxury without a care in the world with PIA!
