We also compare flying into Islamabad, about two hours away by motorway, which has more flights. Bacha Khan International Airport serves Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Mardan, Nowshera, Charsadda and Swabi. ## Flying into Bacha Khan International (PEW) Peshawar's airport is unusually close to the city. It sits beside the Cantonment, so many homes in Hayatabad, University Town or the old city are only around 15 to 40 minutes away by road. It serves Peshawar and much of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Mardan, Nowshera, Charsadda and Swabi. Like other Pakistani airports, greeters wait outside, so agree a meeting point in advance. ## UK airports and typical routings There are no direct flights from the UK. The usual routings go via Dubai, Sharjah, Doha or Abu Dhabi, sometimes with a Saudi connection, from London, Manchester or Birmingham. Expect around 12 to 16 hours in total. Peshawar has fewer daily international flights than Islamabad, and many are timed for Gulf workers, so arrival times can be very early in the morning. ## Peshawar or Islamabad? Islamabad International has many more flights and often lower fares, and it is around two hours from Peshawar on the M-1 motorway. For families in Mardan, Swabi or Nowshera, the difference is even smaller, as these towns sit between the two cities. We price both airports for your dates. Sometimes saving on the fare is worth the drive, and sometimes landing in Peshawar is the better deal for a big family with luggage. ## When UK families fly to Peshawar Eid and the summer holidays are the busiest times, with families combining visits home with trips to the cooler hills of Swat and the north. Winter weddings and the Christmas holidays are also popular, and seats on the few daily flights into Peshawar go quickly at these times. The plains around Peshawar get very hot in June and July, while winter days are mild. ## Practical tips - **Check the travel advice:** the UK Government advises against travel to some parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and this can affect your travel insurance. Read GOV.UK foreign travel advice for the districts you plan to visit before you book. - **Plan the onward road journey:** if you are heading to Swat, Dir or Chitral, the roads are long and mountainous. Land early in the day, or stay a night in Peshawar before you set off. Many families from KP add Umrah via Jeddah or Madinah on the way home, often on the same Saudi or Gulf routing.
