UVC Umrah packages flying PIA from Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi — economy, standard, and premium tiers with Saudi Umrah visa, Makkah & Madinah hotels, and transport all included.
PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) Umrah packages are all-inclusive Umrah arrangements that use PIA as the official airline carrier from Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Multan, Sialkot, or Faisalabad to Jeddah or Madinah. UVC offers PIA Umrah packages starting at PKR 248,000 per person for 21-day standard, with departures available year-round including Ramadan and summer slots.
PIA is the most-trusted Umrah airline for Pakistani pilgrims due to its direct routes (no layover), Urdu-speaking cabin crew, Halal-certified Pakistani meals, and flexible baggage allowance (35-40kg for Umrah passengers). UVC has been an authorised PIA Umrah ticketing partner for over a decade, with direct access to group fares and seat availability not always visible on public booking platforms.
