Passengers wishing to fly Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) anywhere around the world can now book their flights online from the comfort of their bedroom on Expedia.com.
Expedia is an online portal which can be used to book flights, hotels and car rentals. Expedia does not have a Pakistani version of its website.
PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani termed the development "a milestone".
Expedia is one of three major global players for flight bookings which competes aggressively with major players Priceline and Orbitz by constantly acquiring partner companies and launching promotional campaigns.

Now can PIA work to improve its service to passengers? This is what is going to bring the passengers and revenue back.

I place a line across PIA whenever I travel. You can put is on 100 platforms, unless your planes fly and fly on time, passengers ain't coming. I am a Pakistani who tried his best to use PIA for several years

KSRTC (Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation) computerised their booking back in 1984 and online booking is available for more than a decade.

PIA doesn't treat its business class passengers badly, and I might actually use PIA business class instead of the usual Turkish Airlines. I never actually noticed PIA was missing from my search results, but I'd give them a chance now knowing full well that their business class product is not the same as other airlines, so long as the price is significantly lower.
