I flew on a PIA flight in (about) 1985 from Islamabad to Karachi. The
aircraft was a tatty 747, I suspect number 001. The boarding process
reminded me of the films you see of Indian railways in the days of Empire. I
swear to this day that there was a goat in the economy section- you could
hear in the business section.  I was told, by our interpreter, that it
wasn't unknown for passengers to light a small "primus" to have a brew.

As I recall, the in-flight meal was a sort of Cornish pasty*. It wasn't as
good as the Pakistan Army rations (also a "pasty" but much nicer) we had in
the desert.

*Not a somasa- definitely more pasty like.
