Meanwhile, after retirement, entitlement of passage will be available to both husband and wife in individual capacity.
For passage facility during leave without pay (LWP), employees will not be entitled for the air passages if the LWP exceeds 120 days in a stretch; however, they would be entitled to Zonal Employee Discount (ZED) fare passages.

The PIA management has also issued guidelines regarding re-routing and refund of employee ticket. In case of re-routing, the employee is allowed to do so; however, no sector will be allowed to be repeated. Moreover, as soon as the employee touches city of origin or touches a destination twice, ticket re-route shall be considered complete.
On the other hand, refund of the employee cancelled ticket is admissible anytime within ticket’s validity period to the maximum of one year from the date of expiry of the ticket. However, refunded tickets shall not be credited back to employee’s entitlement.
It is pertinent to mention here that employees and their families (serving / retired / deceased) can avail excess baggage facility up to 45 kgs at 90% rebate, once in a year against one-way sector only.
