Flying from Sialkot
Sialkot International Airport is a busy air transport hub that welcomes over one million passengers every year. It is continually expanding to match the growing demands of greater numbers of business and leisure travellers. Passengers flying from Sialkot with Qatar Airways will be impressed by the positive, proactive atmosphere of the airport, and the warm welcome and professionalism of the staff.
Transportation and parking
It is easy to drive to the airport, as the Sialkot-Wazirabad highway has a slip road that leads straight to the airport. However, parking is limited and in very high demand so it may be best to make alternative parking arrangements away from the airport and travel to it by taxi. Buses and trains run from Sialkot to Sambrial, but at that point you will need to disembark and take a taxi to the airport itself.
At the airport
Passengers flying from Sialkot with Qatar Airways leave from the main terminal’s Departures hall. A business lounge is available for First and Business class passengers, while a large and comfortable general lounge is also available. Check-in can take some time, due to the very tight security checks, so allow at least two hours before your flight is due to board to check-in and go through security.
Facilities and amenities
The airport is well-designed, bright and airy, with cool waiting areas that provide welcome relief from the usual summer heat. Restaurants in the main terminal serve a variety of food, including local dishes and specialities, as well as other international cuisine.
Coffee stands and cafeterias provide lighter snacks and beverages, while a number of shops sell travel essentials and souvenirs.
Duty Free shops sell luxury goods including perfume, and there are plenty of banking facilities on-site, including ATMs and currency exchange desks. Prayer rooms offer a quiet area for devotions, and there is special assistance for disabled passengers available upon request.

Tourist attractions
At 9pm in the evening, Barcelona has a unique landmark that enchants those who see it – the musical fountains of in Plaça d'Espanya. The Barri Gòtic or Gothic Quarter is the medieval heart of the city, but some structures date even further back to the Roman settlement of Catalonia.
A slightly more modern addition to the city’s landscape is the Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. Originally built in 1929 but torn down less than a year later, the reconstructed version built in 1986 demonstrates how important to the history of modern architecture the original was.
Barcelona is also packed with World Heritage sites, including the striking Park Güell, the extraordinary Casa Batlló (one of Antoni Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces) and the truly stunning Palau de la Música Catalana, where you can hear some of Barcelona’s finest musicians perform.
