We compare all three for your dates. Faisalabad International Airport serves Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and the surrounding districts of central Punjab. ## Flying into Faisalabad International (LYP) Faisalabad's airport is on the western edge of the city, off Jhang Road, around 20 to 30 minutes from the centre around the Clock Tower and its eight bazaars. It is a small airport with only a few international flights, mostly linking to the Gulf. Its IATA code, LYP, comes from the city's old name, Lyallpur, which still confuses people when they search for flights. ## UK airports and typical routings There are no direct flights from the UK. When a Gulf connection into Faisalabad lines up, the journey from London, Manchester or Birmingham is around 12 to 16 hours. Because there are so few flights, most of our customers fly into Lahore or Islamabad instead and drive on. From Lahore, Faisalabad is around two hours on the M-3 motorway. From Islamabad, it is around three to four hours on the M-4 and M-2. ## Which airport is best for your family? - **Faisalabad city, Samundri, Jaranwala:** Lahore is usually the best choice for fares and timings, with LYP worth checking when a good connection is available. - **Jhang and Toba Tek Singh:** LYP saves the most road time. Multan can also be worth comparing for the southern side. - **Chiniot and Sargodha side:** Lahore or Islamabad, depending on fares and your exact destination. We price all the sensible options for your dates, so you can choose between the cheapest fare and the shortest drive. ## When UK families fly to Faisalabad Faisalabad is known as the textile city of Pakistan and has long family links with the north of England, as well as communities across the UK. Winter weddings, December and the Christmas holidays are the busiest times, followed by Eid and the summer holidays. Summer heat in central Punjab is intense, often above 40°C. ## Practical tips - **Book the transfer with the flight:** if you land in Lahore, arrange a car with space for luggage before you fly. We can help with this. - **Fog in winter:** fog on the motorways around Lahore and Faisalabad can close roads for a few hours on winter mornings. Allow extra time, especially before a wedding.
