Emirates f/o accommodation allowance
Hi, does anyone know the exact amount of the accommodation allowance at emirates? On their website it just says that the acc. is provided by emirates incl. all utility bills but what if one decides to rent his/ her own place.
How much is it for an f/o? The search on this site had little info on that.
What are good places to stay for a married couple with no children.
I appreciate your help - thanks!

102,000 Dhs per year, if you opt out of company accom you pay all utility costs yourself sometimes included in apartment lets. Electricity for airconditioning can easily cost you 1500 per month in summer. You must also pay 5% municipality tax on your let, so if you take this into the budget its only 97,000.
You will not get a villa in Dubai for this but will in mirdiff, you will get an apartment though.
Company apartments are on the whole quite good, Shk Zayed Road is the most popular location. Many company apartments for pilots are in the same block as the cabin crew so if your single this may intrest you !

I don't know if the website makes it clear, but as a couple with no children you will get an apartment, not a villa. When you get your upgrade, you get a villa. The apartments are a bit variable but are 3 bedrooms and plenty big enough. You would not be able to rent a similar apartment on SZ road for the utilities allowance.
Hope that helps.

A mistake you are making is in assuming you will be able to take the allowance. It has been mentioned before that EK are about to lease 600+ villas near 'Silicon City'. If they have paid the money I would be amazed if the option to take the allowance will be given until all the villas are filled.

Silicon Oasis is now an independent free zone, on the lines of Airport FZ and Jebel Ali FZ.
