Before you fly
Flying to the Mountains
Weather decides
Mountain flights fly in clear weather only. Morning departures are the most reliable, and we always plan a buffer.
We keep a plan B
If a flight is cancelled we rebook the next one or switch to the road with a private car, so the trip goes ahead.
Pack light
Domestic baggage allowances are tighter than international ones; soft bags are easier on small aircraft.
The view is part of it
On a clear day the Skardu flight passes close to Nanga Parbat, so a window seat is worth asking for at check-in.
