Overseas Allowances - what does your airline pay?
I work for a medium sized UK cargo turbo prop airline that is expanding into Europe.
I am interested in what other airlines pay their crew for nightstopping abroad.
To start things off....
£10 per night plus
£1 per hour starting/finishing at home base.
No meal allowance.
Thanks in advance.

Our outfit pays € 95.01 per day or fraction thereof for European destinations. Breakfast always included. Meals are also paid by the company if duty time falls within lunch/dinner periods.
Part of it subject to a tax deduction though.

From outbound departure checkin until ATA + 30 mins back at base, 1.57 per hour which is approx £38 per 24 hour period away.
Other payment varies by destination whilst down route - breakfast is always included. In some hotels if you do not take breakfast, an allowance can be banked and can be deducted from your bill at checkout.

PIA used to pay USD 6.15 per hr from Blocks off to Blocks on in Pakistan.Pretty healthy USD 147.6 per day + hotel inclusive of breakfast.Due to the military regime,and it's crackdown on civilian perks ,we are getting USD 5/- an hr.To make matters worse,the dollars' count starts from Blocks ON at foreign destination and stops at Blocks off when you depart for your home base.Therefore it is a considerable reduction in the number of total hrs counted as well as the rate itself.

BlueEagle - I have not a clue what you are driving at! If there happens to be other items, possibly of the beverage nature on such a bill, then I suppose, yes, any allowance would cover that expenditure!

A twist with a variation
My company has an agreement to pay $80 usd per day while on duty away from home base, checkin is at 12:00 lcl arr. hotel 18:00 lcl dep 06:00 arr at base 08:30, here's the twist, we complete 3 or 4 sectors and return to base to arr HOME at 12:00lcl the 2nd day, Pilot group consider this 24 hrs away from home = full perdiem, company considers back at base next morning=half perdiem. What if any is the norm in this type of situation at YOUR company.
Replies appreciated.

We get a full per diem (domestic or int'l) whenever our arrival at crew base is after midnight local (i.e. block time plus 30 min duty).
Domestic is € 62.51 and int'l is € 95.01. Meals are on the company while on duty.
My previous operator did however pay half per diems.
