Recently sent a 20 foot container of stuff back to Europe, for our retirement pad there. Shippers were emphatic that no alcohol, foodstuffs or any liquid was permitted. Maybe different rules if you're sending outside Europe.

One thing to keep in mind with the containers... The container may sit in the summer heat up to a week or two.
We never thought about that, and 2 boxes of expensive candles turned up as soup of wax at the other end.
Your wine will definitely taste different.
I'd say try and take them back on your operating flights back home or go with the party option.

Has anyone had any experience with getting any loans paid off with their provident fund to get a clearance letter?
I would like to leave earlier than planned and if anyone has any experience with a similar situation with paying a loan off with the fund if at all possible.
Thank you

myidtravel.com tkts
I have been told by HR that you can use your EK staff tkts upto 30 days after your last day (surprisingly generous!!) Has anyone that has already left had any experience with using the myidtravel.com (LH,AF,DL etc) id90's in the 30 days after leaving? As I have had mixed responses from staff travel on this one.
Thanks in advance

apologies in advance if this has already been covered. If you have already given your resignation notice and call sick for a 2 day trip do they deduct those two days from your basic salary? Or is it treated like any other sick call? Is a fatigue sick call treated any different? Thanks!

Everything is treated as normal all the way till the last day.......then you just walk away like you never been part of the company.
Anyway for info
HSBC credit cards closed within a day(no problems and very easy), etisalat and DEWA needed a week, provident fund arrive in my bank in Europe within 10days.
Good luck everybody

The entire process is quite slick, I had no horror moments, the EOS people can see everything that is needed so you only need to ask them, if you have had a loan that requires a clearance they will tell you. I asked for a bank clearance for my credit cards and was told by the bank I didn't need it. Eti****lat and Du both told me that any unpaid accounts will stop the visa cancellation so it appears when it comes to owing money to state owned companies they are all linked!
Beware if you intend to send items home via skycargo, you are allowed 300kg, however this does not necessarily mean weight as they do a complicated HxWxL measurement and it's easy to go over on items like tv's. And you will pay the Habibi tax. AED 180 for there overtime.
Got to check in, my bag was over weight, told the check out lady I was ex-crew, she told me she was working her notice and handed me my FC ticket, the Habibis waved me through at visa control, the champers never tasted better. Good luck all!!

And yes, the champagne tasted better than it ever had before! Never looked back, but don't want to get negative as that doesn't help the spirit of the guys who cannot leave for whatever reasons...

left over 3 months ago and still didn't get the retention money, I also have to fight for the refunds for tickets with other airlines, EK told me to contact the other airlines, they told me contact EK as they have to refund it, contacted myidtravel direct and they told EK to pay me

The crooks at EK also kept my retention money. Their dishonesty has cost them dearly as none of my extended family will fly with them again either on business or pleasure.That is over 30 tickets since I left. And yes, me and many others thought about suing. But you can't. As a semi-government company, UAE Labour Law doesn't apply to them. Utter deceitful liars. Imagine. You can't leave owing them money but they let you leave when they have no intention of paying you.

I have spoken to NBD and HSBC about it and both replies were that as long as the monthly installments are covered, there is no issue.
Only personal loans ( car loans for example ) must be paid off before leaving.
You do not need to close your bank accounts either and if you keep a certain balance on your current account, you will get to keep your credit card and you debit card.
To avoid problems using your Online banking, keep a local mobile number so as in my case, I will just downgrade my contract with DU to a pay as you go.
It seems all pretty straight forward.

You can have your visa cancelled owing money to DU and Etisalat. When I disconnected my service last year through both providers they close your online payment portal and you must make your final payment at one of their locations. Because of this inconvenience I refused to pay over 900 dhs out of protest. Never had an issue cancelling the visa or leaving Dubai (although I never plan to return to that God forsaken sandpit).
