    Airport is nice and small but very neat and clean. The washrooms are very busy but surprisingly very clean. The airport is a bit managed on domestic side. There needs to be more good quality restaurants inside the airport. I love how the management has kept this beautiful place clean. The staff inside is attentive and cooperative.

    Much improved. I often travel through this airport. Lahore airpot has now lot of parking spaces built past years which solved the big issue but I notice even after announcement people won't move their vehicles from main arrivals and departure drop off location. Govt did their part. I request people to be a responsible citizens. Washrooms were clean. I noticed just few food options outside. Staff is helpful. Cleanliness is maintained throughout the facility.

    Overall this is an average airport. Every time I travel from here I have got a different experience. Sometimes good and sometimes it's not very good. I kind of learned how it works there. I used to take my luggage myself and didn't engage a local airport Porter, then the security team (or maybe custom propel) stopped me and went through my luggage. I noticed whoever have a Porter they don't stop them. So recently, I started doing the same and just go through and they don't bothering me. I normally pay about RS 1200 and it's up to you. Give your self extra time at the airport if you're travelling in the morning as traffic get busy as well as security and other bits will take much longer. One time, I missed my flight so anything could happen. If you are travelling international during day time then you will have much relaxing experience.

    This is my second time here. This airport is really according to international standards. Truly state of the art! But PIA needs to improve it's service. The people in reservation and booking office were good professionals and they urgently resolved the issue in our tickets. However, the personnel who issue boarding passes are bit rude in their behavior. They need behavior. Thank you.

    Guess the Lahore Main Train Station is better than this dump. Renovation & expansion is easy overdue. Staff are friendly to business class only. The business class lounge is 20 years old. The only positive that I could think of are the aeroplane berths. The immigration counters in arrivals and departures are understaffed. The airport security personnel have no training in public relations. Business class counters are more run down than pothole ridden roads in Lahore. The parking exit points are horrible experience. It takes 45-60 minutes just to exit out of the parking. Tiny airport for a metropolitan city of 13 million.

Overall there should be upgrade in belts and all.

    I donโ€™t get why there isnโ€™t a food corner at the airport all we have is a SnackBar and the charge bloody triple the price? There should be something else like KFC etc. Like we donโ€™t even have some basic shops at the airport Iโ€™m not saying we need to make a huge mall like airport like the one แป‰n Dubai i am just saying make is at least somewhat reasonable thats it other then that view in the Night and dawn is marvellous but again we donโ€™t want the view we want a proper waiting lounge and a proper food street i guess.

  • 5/5 Rashid B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best and busiest Airport of Pakistan, now has been developed and improved well. Special infrastructure outside the Airport while going in and out is just awesome and looks like as per international standards. Parking area has good space and lane numbers help a lot to find some person waiting for your and easy to remember where your vehicle was parked. One thing I observed is weird that they were forcing walking passengers not to enter the premises. There might be security concerns but on cars and other commercial vehicles same check and balance should be implemented. It took 30 minutes to come from parking to out side the Airport due to heavy traffic.

    The airport is situated in the capital of Punjab province of Pakistan and equipped with most of the requirements of a passenger. Now a days, due to covid-19 issues, strict procedures are being followed for the rapid pcr test on the airport. Staff is cooperating and try to help out the travellers if they found any problems.

    The airport experiences significant overcrowded and congested in relation to the daily influx of visitors. I observed that certain staff members displayed rudeness in their behavior. The facilities and general cleanliness were satisfactory, however Airport doesn't meet the expectations of high standards.

  • 5/5 Javier N. 2 years ago on Google
    Making my way through the airport was good. Take your time, and there is a process there. It took me about an hour and a half to leave the airport to see the beautiful land and people of Pakistan. It took longer because my Visa was crumpled up in my pocket, so the barcode didn't work, so I had to sit to the side till they could attend to me. I know I have to keep my paper in better order. There are people there that know different languages, so that helps to get around.

    Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore is the third largest civilian airport by traffic in Pakistan, after Jinnah International Airport, Karachi and Islamabad International Airport. It serves Lahore, capital of Punjab and second-largest city of Pakistan. It also serves a large portion of the travellers from the other regions of Punjab province. Originally known as Lahore International Airport, the airport has three terminals: the Allama Iqbal terminal, the Hajj terminal and a cargo terminal. The airport is about 15 km from the centre of the city. The facility is well maintained with all relevant facilities available. With increasing air traffic the expansions are on the way. Recently the parking facility of the airport has been revamped and enhanced by providing a large underground parking to facilitate travellers. The approach to the airport is accessible from the city as well as from Lahore Ring Road but one should travel from the city well before time in order to avoid traffic constraints etc.

    Due to the absence of entrance check-in dividers, it was a little chaotic when entering the airport. It's safe to park at the airport. The exchange center's rates are significantly higher.

  • 4/5 Muhammad Javed I. 2 years ago on Google
    Good security, excellent services and international look. Though we cannot compare with other international airports like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Heathrow etc but still it is very good. Staff is very efficient and well behaved. I think trollies are from some ancient time. These are tough but not looking goid with ambience. Some enquiry staff was also not present in their offices. There are 2 main canteens are at international departure. One at the right corner near PIA Enquiry & Corona test center is really expensive. There coffee and tea was horrible while they were charging at a very high rates. On the other hand Bundu Khan at the left corner was affordable in price and excellent in taste. I am not mentioning insides restaurant's quality and rates because it is mostly high everywhere.

  • 5/5 Lord_LH 9 months ago on Google
    One drawback was that when I was returning back to England, security was really a big issue. One of my bags got flagged up and searched, and this woman who searched it decided to search most of my other bags and I was heavily against this because only 1 bag was supposed to be searched and I already had a lot more. As a result of all this, around 45 minutes was wasted just at check in when it should have really been 15 minutes, but on the bright side there was a very helpful airport lady at passport check in. This was back in December at the end of the month, so I don't know how it is now, but other than that it was good.

    I had the opportunity to visit Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore today. The bustling atmosphere and vibrant energy were evident as a multitude of travelers filled the terminal. Despite the bustling crowd, the airport staff managed the situation efficiently, ensuring smooth check-in and security processes. The diverse array of shops, eateries, and amenities available made the waiting time enjoyable. The airport's architectural design combined with modern facilities created a comfortable environment for passengers. While the crowd was significant, the overall experience was positive, thanks to the efforts of the airport's staff and the available amenities.

  • 3/5 Basit A. 2 years ago on Google
    As far as airports in Pakistan go, quite good. Has most facilities for international travelers, however take service delivery with a grain of salt! The latest visit shows a varied variety of labs offering Rapid PCR testing at the arrivals level toward the south side of the airport. Arrive a few hours earlier, get your sample taken and you can go home before coming back in time for your flight. My experience was quite orderly and convenient given the circumstances. Also, the new parking system is worth appreciating (especially the 'locate your car' feature)

    One of the crowded airports in Pakistan ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ, building is awesome, Parking, interior and exterior everything is special except the airport management, they are very slow and failed to manage passengers is peek hours may be due to limited sources or something else. Government need to extend the airport due to increased passengers and air traffic.

    Airport outer view gives you a spectacular view of its vastness. The wide open aerial view from the international/domestic flight lounge is a serene beauty to behold. It surely gives you pleasant feeling to have an immensely big land area dedicated for an airport in your homeland.

  • 5/5 Abrar B. 1 year ago on Google
    After the construction of the new parking area the parking issue is resolved the Airport seems to be lot cleaner and the security is pretty good. The washrooms are Ok but there must be some sitting area for the people waiting because people come from different cities and are not aware of the flight delays and all the stuff so there must be proper seating area. Also there should be more food points.

    Airport is pretty place. But alot of security check points. Some of them don't even sense. But I guess it's for safety of everyone. The airport inside is pretty small compared to other airports I have been to. It's just a huge lounge inside and than you are at the gates. Ok experience in my opinion.

    Good airport. We went in at night and it was still quite crowded. Security and check in were quite a breeze. And since itโ€™s a small airport I got to my gate quickly

  • 2/5 Farhan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Better but there is still room for improvement , on my visit flight was delayed and my flight gate was not displaying on the departure screen. Not sure why Fri-Chicks guys keep asking for food every 5 minutes when you already told your answer. Also noticed the only one announcement speakers were working out of many. Please take notice of these operations. Thanks

    It might seem intimidating if it's your first visit to this country. There are a number of security guards carrying guns. But that makes you think it's safe or in a dangerous situation hahaha It's not a big airport but it's well organized.

    Lahore Airport is one of the busiest international airports in Pakistan. It is the third-largest airport in the country by traffic after the Islamabad International Airport and Jinnah International Airport, Karachi. It was officially known as the Lahore International Airport until it was renamed as the Allama Iqbal International Airport (AIIA). The airport has been named after Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of the east. Well, weโ€™ll be discussing everything you need to know about the very famous Lahore Airport in this blog as here we have put together a detailed guide on it. So, letโ€™s begin by taking a look at some interesting facts about Lahore Airport. MORE ABOUT LHE AIRPORT Handling millions of passengers and thousands of tonnes of cargo annually, Allama Iqbal International Airport is one of the busiest international airports in the country. As of now, the airport has three terminals: the Allama Iqbal terminal (for domestic/international flights), the Hajj terminal (for Hujjaj arrival/departure), and a cargo terminal. The airport spans over 1,364 acres of land. The facility comprises the terminal complex (Allama Iqbal terminal), which was built in the 2000s, the old terminal building (Hajj terminal), two lounges: the state Lounge (CIP lounge), and the Hajj lounge. There are also two runways and a parking space for around 22 aircraft. The runway of the airport is wide enough to easily handle aircraft as large as Boeing 747. SECURITY AT LAHORE AIRPORT Like other airports around the country, the security of Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore is jointly looked after by Civil Aviation Management and the Airport Security Force. There is a CCTV camera installed at every corner of the airport for surveillance. Along with it, there are metal detectors and some of the latest security equipment put to use for the safety of passengers. TERMINALS AT LHE AIRPORT The three terminals of the Allama Iqbal International Airport handle 75-80 flights a day altogether. Letโ€™s learn about some details about these terminals. Allama Iqbal Terminal is the newest air terminal complex at the Lahore airport, which opened in March 2003. It provides all the state of the art facilities to passengers as per the latest standards. The new terminal building significantly increased the annual passenger-handling capacity of the airport. It hasnโ€™t only enlarged the airport but also reflects the Mughal history of Lahore with its magnificent structure. On the other hand, the old terminal complex is now specifically used for the flight operations of Hajj, which is why it has now been termed as the Hajj terminal. LOUNGES AT LHE AIRPORT There are three lounges at Allama Iqbal International Airport. Two of them are CIP lounges (for international/domestic flights) and one is the Hajj Lounge. Letโ€™s get to know more about them. CIP Lounge (Domestic/International Flights): The CIP lounge for international flights is also known as the State lounge. Both CIP lounges operate 24/7 mainly for departing flights. They are equipped with both basic and modern facilities like cafeterias, newspapers, TV, internet facilities, and WiFi. The facilities of the CIP lounge can be availed for free by business-class passengers. The services are also free for platinum credit cardholders. Hajj Lounge: The Hajj lounge is also equipped with all the modern features to facilitate the passengers. It has WiFi, snacks and food bars, flight monitors, TV, and newspaper. CODE OF LAHORE AIRPORT The International Airport Transport Association (IATA) awards a unique code to all the international airports around the world. The basic aim of this organisation is to ensure smooth and secure international flight operations. The IATA airport code for the Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, is LHE.

    Lahore airport is international airport , its a good, highly maintained as well as well establish and spacious airport. At same times many flights can take off , it may be international airline or domestic airline. From Lahore , For domestic travel you can go to Quetta , Karachi and Gilgit ( from lahoee to Islamabad and Multan no airplane flies now ). For domestic airline their is less checking but for international airline oviosly their is a high check up due to drug smuglling. Over all its a good airport for a person travelling on national or international flight.

  • 5/5 Zain S. 1 year ago on Google
    Things that are great: helpful staff, comfortable lounge. Clean and morning flights are relatively less crowded. Things to improve: Navigation and digital screens. Announcement speaker quality. Food and duty free options. Things that absolutely suck: Annoying security. Only 4 queues at passport control.

    I have been traveling from this airport since I was a kid so many memories from the place , itโ€™s very decent & cute , itโ€™s not like huge as in building itโ€™s old school airport but the vibe is pure Pakistani. The staff is either very nice vs or very unprofessional , Iโ€™ll be honest ๐Ÿ˜‚ you wonโ€™t eat good food here but you can get very nice coffee and snacks. the terminals are fine as well.

  • 3/5 Shoaib A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good airport facility. Nicely maintained. But Worst experience at Car Parking exit. It's been 15 minutes in car and we have not moved more than 100 Meters. I hope this is the only nuisance on this visit. Same experience on second visit, pictures attached.

  • 3/5 Zainab 7 months ago on Google
    Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE) is the second busiest airport in Pakistan, and it can get very crowded, especially during peak hours. This can make it difficult to get through security and check-in, and it can also be a challenge to find a place to sit or relax.

  • 3/5 aReLLy NiEto R. 1 year ago on Google
    The security has very high standards which makes you feel safe, but the officers area little irresponsible when they open your bags and leave things everywhere. They supposed to have scanners to do that... Don't they? Looks like a bus station, small, no sure conditioning, bad smell, washrooms need to be cleaned.

  • 4/5 Tahir K. 2 years ago on Google
    The airport is nice, and have charged public parking available. They have a paid lounge and a common one. Passenger lounge is good and comfortable where one can find Gloria Jeans Coffee, Mr.COD and two tuc shops. In loungr there is no atm. The prices of tuc shops are 4 folds high. Whereas the restaurants only serves junk food which will be served in a paper plate. They need to improve the dining options and serving.

    I visited the allama iqbal airport last night to see off the group of the travel globe company for 5 country visit. As it was late night but still airport had enough people which seem kinda busyy. The airport have enough space for parking in return of nominal fee of parking. Advise for those arriving or departure please go in vehicle on top side so to avoid stairs . The over environment was clean but still needed to put more dustbin at little distances. You will find taxi careem uber at lane B.

  • 3/5 Sudheera S. 5 months ago on Google
    Gateway to the beautiful city of Lahore. There's lack of visibility during Nov to Jan due to smog. International arrivals management was okay, there were no long delays. Immigration and customs clearance was strict, which was good considering the high risk. Baggage handling was below expectations, a slight delay and some baggages stucked and fallen off the belt due to design/maintenance failures. The building is old but well maintained. At domestic departure terminal there's one full security check. Hardly any restaurants. One coffee shop which had very limited options. There's much room for improvement. No photo or videography is allowed internally.

  • 5/5 Hassan R. 5 months ago on Google
