My mother came from Manchester on @Official_PIA 777 yesterday morning. There were no pillows. Only a few used blankets being tossed around by the crew. When my mother asked where the pillows were the air hostess replied: Air Blue. So much for #PIA‘s tall claims of “change”.

While replying to PIA’s tweet, a customer said, “We were asked to do the same for Karachi airport. Can u pls explain why would anyone take pia seriously. The funniest thing is that when we arrived four hours earlier, the counters hadn’t even opened and we were told by staff at pia shouldn’t have asked u to come early.”
