It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same Istanbul → Lahore flight can face completely different entry rules.

Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (Turkish Airlines) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
