ek Per Diem

[Dentist]

Hi, did the search and no luck, so can anyone tell me about the per diem package at ek? heard it does not exist? is that true? many thanks in advance..

This is how it works. You get whatever the cost is of a preselected Brekkie, Lunch and Dinner in the hotel. However, if the hotel offers a discount to crew i.e. 50% off all restaurants, then that discount is also applied to your per diems. Easy....................

then that discount is also applied to your per diems. Easy....................
And if you are the manager that optimises these cunning stunts to the max, then in a couple of years you will become an SVP, earning a very nice 5 times profit share :ugh:

Hey Uplock,

That was a great link but is it up to date? It looks a little bit on the short side to me since this is Emirates we are talking bout. So on average in US dollars how much is the meal allowance ( total ) per day in USA, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia?

Don't count on per diem as a bonus to the overall package. It will really only cover food and beer with a couple of bucks left over. If you plan on 'noodling'' in your room you might make a bit, on the other hand if you get a bit excited you'll have to exercise your card.

On a typical 24hr European layover it will be about Euro85to90.

Hi Gents,

Please get real Ketek. I'd say it is about 65-75 Euro per night.

Pork:ok:

I don't quite get the allowance for captain and other at the bottom. Is it a one off payment or like every hour?:confused:

[Hook]

each crew member gets a one-off payment per night, not per hour. Captain gets a few cents extra.

Don't even know if it is enough for a pint......:oh:

Uplock, the long winter nights must fly by! ;)

[Dentist]

ok, so now I know .. Another question for the ek drivers. I know it all depends on the A/c but what are the rosters like at ek? Say a europe trip? is that just one night and then back home? what about one day trips? any??????
cheers

Most Ek layovers are 24 hours long, simply because almost all flight are operated on a daily basis. Someone will fly the aircraft you just brought in back to DXB and you'll do the same the next day.
