  Nice airport with all reasonable facilities for the passengers. The lounge is good but sitting arrangements for the travellers is limited.
  Nothing when compared to nice international airports like Doha, Dubai or Tokyo.
  Still a nice place to accommodate local as well as international flights.

  Very small airport. I'm surprised it's even called an international airport.. very tiny and conjusted places from waiting area to boarding area to corridors. It does not come close to any god international airport. Management is very poor.staff is not well trained. Very slow counter.due to which often flights get late. Uncooperative staff. Very unpleasant. Can't find anything positive apart from ample parking space

  It is an over-hyped, over-rated just another mediocre airport. Poorly managed airport lacking basic facilities of lavatories, seats and even prayer rooms. The airport can't even afford to handle passengers of 2 flights simultaneously. Massively overcrowded with mismanaged queues and longer waits are always observed. The duty free shops and tea stalls are overpriced offering substandard products. Even the mobile recharge shops loots the passengers. No innovative check-ins or such facility can be found inside the terminal. The place desperately needs an upgrade. Even the air traffic has significantly decreased in recent times confining it to Middle East except a couple of flights to UK, US and Canada. The airport is deteriorating and requires serious government help.

  For now the best airport in Pakistan. Hub to PIA Air Blue Shaheen Airways and Serene Air. It's not huge but better than all domestic airports. Pick up and drop off is easy. Many facilities like money conversion Bank ATMs passenger and cargo and transit hotels are available. Security checking is always on high level here. A little far off from the main city. Duty free and other shops are present here...but on a personal note pretty worthless. When you travel/transit here make sure you have your passport and documents ready. If questioned never argue with Airport personnel just politely show them what documents or baggage scans they ask for. The airport staff is polite.

  Good according to Pakistani standards only. Otherwise in comparison to the other Int' Airports it fares poorly. Govt needs to expand its boarding lounge. The duty free shops should all shift to the boarding lounge and the number of toilets should increase. These are few amongst the numerous suggestions for this Airport

  Old building sometimes over crowded. Waiting area outside the main entrance is insufficient in rush hours. Arrive here at least 3 hours before your flight because security checks take time. Security (ASF) people are very experienced and they look very vigilant and active.
  BEWARE OF PORTERS HERE. They always try to beg you extra money besides their official service charges. If you are searching for something here, some porter will come to help you and will demand money for the guidance. Private cab companies staff will also attach one or two porters with you even if you have a single hand bag, and off course they will demand extra money.

  For arrivals, the experience isn't all that bad. Sure, once you hit immigration it's a free for all (when it's crowded) and being pushy and rude (or rich enough to get protocol) is the only way to get out of there. Note to foreigners: Pakistanis have no sense of personal space, travel etiquette or manners.
  
  For departures, be warned. If you're caught in the 3am rush, you'll be stressed as hell. It takes an hour just to get into the airport. The facilities are basic; very few restaurants, seats and televisions from the 70s. Customs is a free-for-all again. The line to check baggage is a nightmare as well.

  This airport & the city of Karachi are one of the most terrible & potentially fatal places one can visit in this World. This is not an exaggeration on my part. Ever since I left Karachi in 1990, I've only visited once for 8 hours only. The experience at the airport was such that one cannot, in all honesty, say that it's an international airport. If you visit this city, please be aware that the chances of being robbed & killed or car jacked are extremely high. I speak on authority of the experiences of my mother & other family members & acquaintances. The police are of no help & are corrupt, just like any other person in the government, whether it's a lowly bureaucrat or the Governor of Sindh. I can mention incidences experienced first hand, being related to some "High & Mighty" individuals, which never made the mainstream news media & which was one reason I left this terrible society and people, never ever to return.
  Visit at your own peril. Please be forewarned.
  Best Regards From The Bad Doctor.

  Convenient airport. Services and facilities have improved considerably over past few years however there is plenty of room for improvement. Need more restaurants and maybe a children play area. Also immigration staff needs to improve their speed as well as service.

  Never experience airport staff like at Jinnah 😂 I'm visa free to the Emirates, but Jinnah staff keeps me on hold for almost ten minutes, because according to their thinking I'm dumb, I might get visa on arrival, but I will pay a lot, do I have money? Lol
  My husband is a resident in my country, he almost missed his flight because staff kept him on hold, he has shown his residence card, proof of address, marriage pictures, pictures with our child!
  Seriously, they should put more efforts into being reasonable :) airport hall is nice, waiting area needs to be renovated

  Grand car parking. Made a short visit to arrivals department/floor. Visited PIA booking service. Staff courteous. Ample space for every available service. There was a local sweets (mithai) shop named Rahmat-e-Shireen. There must be more to see but I had to come back soon so..

  I was traveling from Delhi to Karachi for some work. Delhi airport was fabulous with great Infrastructure but as soon as I landed in Karachi , it was horrible to see the airport. The staff was not good as compare to that of Delhi. Waiting areas were not maintained. Even the glasses were broken. TVs put over there are old fashioned. I would be happy if the airport is renovated.
  I would have rated this airport 0.

  Airport building is beautiful and clean. Security is adequate. Check in is fast and no long lines. Duty free shopping needs improvement. There are not enough places to eat or have coffee. Butler's is great for a snack.
