Go to the Ek buy and sell Facebook page and look for one of the 100 cabin crew add for room/bed free

After all why share an apartment when u can share a room in an apartment and save even more ?

Yeah well I never thought of sharing an apartment or a room with another crew, but it depends.

I heard back in the day there were lots of parties and crazy !!!! going on with the cabin crew. I just want to be in peace.

I know once you move out from the company's accommodation then you can never move back in, but what if I get my own apartment or share it with someone and then later on can I tell them that I want their accommodation?

Is that possible or they want an answer when you join regarding the accommodation?

The less you deal with the Department of NO, the better.

If you don't take the company housing when you join you can never take it. My advice is to start off in company accommodation while you get to know the city and decide where you want to live. Then move out.

This worked for us. We now deal with an Egyptian landlord with a penchant for Swiss chocolates that has saved us several 000 in rent as we increase his massive girth at rent renewal time. Bid for ZRH or GVA and go to a Denner Supermarket.

It's not a perfect relationship but preferable to dealing with the "professionals" in HQ.
I have reliable stories that the HQ gang don't even know what properties are empty.

Buying is also possible with the Allowance. We weren't brave/clever/stupid enough to do that.

hahaha one of you leaving, PLEASE paper over their departmental sign with a homemade one saying this!! Gold :}

You don't need a mortgage. If you decide not to take the accommodation, what you do with the money is up to you, Live on a boat, 6 bedroom mansion on the palm, studio in Satwa. That's the beauty of it.

Captain's allowance is circa 190K+, F/O's 175 thereabouts.

Hi
What a new f/o married with two kids can expect as accomodation provided by EK(size and neighbourhood)
Thanks.

If you are married with kids, almost certainly you will be put in Meydan Heights or if you are luckier Meydan South. 3 or 4 Bedroom villas, good size, but built to a price

ruserious
Thanks for the answer what about arabian ranches? Isbit a good location?

Arabian Ranches is not company accomodation. However you could take the allowance and rent/buy your own place there.

My impression is that the rental market rates are relatively high based on the price of buying that property , as a percentage return?

Seems so much building again in Dubai , cant think prices can do anything but decline in the next few years ?

What we can expected? Where? Thanks

Any apartment block that has a contract with EK.

You can give them your preferences but THEY will choose. Once allocated you would need to request a transfer and wait for your building of choice to become available...

Thank you for your answe! Do you now some names of the blocks?

Using the allowance to buy an apartment was the real gold!
Anybody knows if it's guaranteed instead of the free housing itself please

Oh dear. Another one with delusions that Dubai will make them rich.

I've just heard new hires moving into the 84s, WTF

84's? What/where is that?
