Peshawar, known as the "City on the Frontier" is a prosperous and lively city of Pakistan. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and lies at the edge of the historic Khyber Pass. Considered the heart of the Northwestern province, Peshawar is a conservative Islamic city with rich history. Historic monuments and bazaars abound in the city, including the Mohabbat Khan Mosque and Kotla Mohsin Khan, Chowk Yadgar, and the Qissa Khawani Bazaar.

Cheap flights to this historic city can be obtained several ways. Consider flights into Islamabad, Pakistan. To get between the cities, you can use a train or bus. Though it will take longer to reach your destination, a bus or a train could save you enough money to make it worthwhile. Look for economical airlines. Aero Asia International, Shaheen Air International, Pearl Air, and Airblue fly to Peshawar. Another possible money-saving tip is to look for flights that go through Bangkok, Thailand; New Delhi, India; or another major gateway city instead of flying direct. You can save some cash over flying nonstop to your destination. Airfare to Peshawar will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You should avoid Mondays because they are popular with business travelers and weekends, which are busy times for vacationers.
