Travellers are advised to have a meal in the city before heading to the airport.
- Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure as security queues can vary unpredictably.
- Carry sufficient local currency (Pakistani Rupees) as ATM access at the airport is unreliable.
- Negotiate taxi fares in advance before leaving the terminal, as meters are rarely used.
- Visit the historic Sukkur Barrage and Sadhu Belo island if time permits — both are close to the city.
