AirSial's new Peshawar to Jeddah service

AirSial says it will begin flying between Peshawar and Jeddah on 17 November 2026, with three flights a week. Published schedule details point to the following pattern:

Flight numbers: PF704 from Peshawar to Jeddah and PF705 from Jeddah to Peshawar.
Days: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Reported timings: departing Peshawar around 3:15 PM and leaving Jeddah around 8:30 PM.
Aircraft: Airbus A320.

These timings come from early published schedules, so confirm the final times with the airline before planning hotels or transport. A new service often adjusts its timetable during the first few weeks.

Why does this matter? Another direct airline means more seats and more departure choices. Competition on a route can also help keep fares in check, although the price you pay will still depend on your dates and how early you book.

Airlines flying Peshawar to Jeddah

PIA

PIA flies non-stop between Peshawar and Jeddah and has long been a familiar choice for KP pilgrims and workers. Check the baggage included with your fare, especially for the return journey with Zamzam water and gifts.

Saudia

Saudia also serves the route non-stop. It's a useful option for travellers connecting onward within Saudi Arabia, because of its wide domestic network.

AirSial

AirSial joins the route from 17 November 2026. Its Airbus A320 service gives travellers a third direct airline to compare on the days it operates.

One-stop options

When direct flights are full, one-stop journeys through the Gulf can be worth checking. Emirates, flydubai and Qatar Airways are among the airlines to compare on connecting routes. These take much longer than a direct flight, so look at total journey time as well as price. See all carriers on our airlines page.

Good to know: available airlines differ by date, and not every airline appears in every search. Your search results show the flights you can book for the date you choose.

Peshawar to Jeddah ticket price: what affects it

We don't publish one fixed fare here, because prices on this route move with the season and with how full each flight is. These factors make the biggest difference:

Season: Ramadan, Eid and school holidays are usually the most expensive periods.
How early you book: the lowest fare classes sell out first, particularly on direct flights.
Day of travel: with limited direct flights each week, moving your trip by a day or two can change the price noticeably.
Baggage: a cheaper fare with less baggage can cost more overall once you add checked bags.
Return plans: a return ticket can lock in your homeward fare before the post-Ramadan or post-Eid rush.

Best time to book Peshawar to Jeddah flights

Normal Umrah dates: book around 6–8 weeks ahead.
Ramadan 2027: Ramadan is expected to begin around early February 2027, so this is the time to plan. Aim to book 3–4 months ahead, particularly for the last ten days.
Eid and school holidays: book as soon as your dates are fixed. Workers and families often travel at the same time.
Hajj period: Umrah is normally paused for ordinary visitors for several weeks around Hajj, so check the dates before you plan.

Flying from Peshawar or Islamabad?

Many KP travellers drive to Islamabad because it has more international flights. Before you do, compare the full cost and effort of each option:

Consider	From Peshawar	From Islamabad
Getting to the airport	Close to home for most of KP's central districts	Adds a road trip and possibly a night's stay
Flight choice	Fewer departures	More airlines and departure times
Older relatives	Shorter travel day and fewer transfers	A longer day before the flight
Family send-off	Easier for relatives to come along	Usually means extra transport

If Islamabad works better for your dates, you could also fly into Madinah first. See our guide to Islamabad to Madinah flights, or compare recent fares on the Islamabad to Madinah route.

Umrah tips for Peshawar travellers

Ihram timing: flights to Jeddah cross the Miqat before landing, so pilgrims going directly for Umrah should enter Ihram before that point. Many get ready at home or at the airport, and the crew usually makes an announcement. Check with your group leader or a scholar if you're unsure.
Keep Ihram in your hand luggage if you plan to change on board or during a connection.
Visa and Nusuk: Umrah rules and the documents required can change. Check the latest requirements through official Saudi channels or a licensed Umrah operator before you pay for anything non-refundable.
Vaccinations: confirm which vaccination records are required for your travel date.
Passport validity: make sure your passport has at least 6 months' validity.
Zamzam and baggage: check your airline's rules for carrying Zamzam water on the way home.

Arriving in Jeddah

King Abdulaziz International Airport is the main gateway for pilgrims heading to Makkah. Allow extra time for immigration, especially in Ramadan when several pilgrim flights can land together. Makkah is usually reached by road or by the Haramain high-speed train, so arrange your onward transfer before you travel if you can. Travellers with older relatives should book a private or group transfer in advance, as this avoids long waits after a tiring flight.

Advice for workers returning to Saudi Arabia

Many passengers on this route work in Jeddah, Makkah and the western region of Saudi Arabia. If you're heading back after a visit home, a little planning can save money and stress:

Avoid the end-of-Eid rush. Fares often jump right after Eid, when many workers return together. Travelling a few days earlier or later can help.
Check your iqama and exit re-entry visa dates before booking, and leave some margin in case of a delay.
Choose your baggage carefully. Food and household items add weight quickly, so select a fare with enough allowance.

Travelling in a group?

Families and groups from the same village or community often travel together. Group tickets can help keep everyone on one flight and make planning easier. Remember to collect each traveller's name exactly as written on their passport before booking.
