✈️ Window-Seat Diaries · Multan Airport Up Close with the Big Bird: PIA Boeing 777 Boarding at Multan Airport A widebody wakes up beside our Flydubai 737 — and from the terminal window, every minute of it is pure theatre. There is a moment every plane-spotter knows by heart: you are settled in your own aircraft, coffee nowhere in sight, eyes pressed to the window — and then a giant pulls into view. That morning at Multan Airport, sitting on our Flydubai 737, the giant was a PIA Boeing 777: stairs wheeled up to its doors, passengers climbing aboard, ground crews swarming around it like stagehands before a show. It had a presence no narrowbody can match, and for a few glorious minutes it stole the whole apron. Morning turnaround in full swing: the Boeing 777 takes on passengers through mobile stairs while the ramp crew readies it for departure.

Daily Aviation Story · October 16, 2026 Parked Next to a Giant: PIA Boeing 777 Beside Our Flydubai 737 at Multan Airport A sunrise on the Multan apron — where a widebody wakes up beside us and the window seat becomes the best seat in the house. There is a particular kind of luck that only window-seat travellers know: the luck of being parked next to something magnificent. This morning, on the apron at Multan Airport, that luck was ours. We were settled into our Flydubai 737, the cabin still filling with the soft sounds of boarding, the engines quiet — and right outside our window, close enough to count the rivets, stood a PIA Boeing 777, being readied for her own journey. Boarding stairs rolled up to her doors, service vehicles circling like attendants, the whole widebody gleaming in the low morning sun. For the next half hour, nobody in our row reached for their phones. Why would we? The best screen on the plane was the window. Wat...

Daily Railway Story · October 11, 2026 28DN Shalimar Express Through the Village Green: Minarets, Buffaloes and the Last Miles to Rahim Yar Khan Morning in rural Punjab — where a white minaret rises beside the tracks and the train slows for the country it carries. There is a moment on every long rail journey when the city loosens its grip and the countryside takes over the window. For the 28DN Shalimar Express, that moment comes in the final stretch toward Rahim Yar Khan — when the platforms and overbridges fall behind and Punjab's village green fills the glass: wheat fields, grazing buffaloes, mud-brick rooftops, and rising above them all, a white mosque minaret standing tall beside the tracks. 🎥 Watch the Village Approach Watch: the 28DN Shalimar Express through the village green (4K). 1 The Final Miles Are the Finest Miles Ask any seasoned rail traveller in Pakistan and they will tell you: the last half hour before a station is where the journey pays you back. Th...

Braking for Rahim Yar Khan — speed bleeding off 112 km/h 60 12 km/h Station approach: 28DN • Shalimar Express • slowing for the halt Pakistan Railways • The Morning Slowdown 28DN Shalimar Express Eases Into Rahim Yar Khan: Under the Road Bridge for the Halt Brakes whispering, speed bleeding away, the great concrete overbridge sliding past the window — the quietest, most satisfying minutes of any rail journey Every express has to do the hardest thing a fast train can do: give up its speed gracefully. Somewhere on the southern Punjab plains, with Rahim Yar Khan still a smudge on the horizon, the driver of the 28DN Shalimar Express eased the brake handle forward and began the long, deliberate surrender of a hundred kilometres an hour. Our camera was riding inside, looking back along the train’s own flank, and it caught the whole beautiful physics of it — the town outskirts drifting past in the mornin...
