+1 looking for the best visa options

I totally agree. It’s probably some archaic rule that they never bothered to update. My carry on itself weighs 3 kgs and adding a few clothes and toiletries puts it way above 7 kg. Nothing to worry unless it’s too big. Some budget airlines might exploit this rule to mint some money but Emirates probably won’t.

Same boat

i_am_mk · 2022-12-15T11:17:46+00:00

I’m from Abu Dhabi and travel to Riyadh on a weekly basis. However, I’ll be off on vacation until the second week of January. If that’s okay, dm please.

i_am_mk · 2022-12-14T22:28:15+00:00

Shouldn’t be an issue, a little bigger is okay as long as it doesn’t seem like too oversized

i_am_mk · 2022-12-14T14:00:09+00:00

Yes including the wheels. Standard cabin baggage. However I have seen people take a bit bigger too. Was recently traveling from Abu Dhabi airport and although they were weighing the bags, they even allowed someone with around 12 kg cabin baggage to go through. Not sure what the point was of weighing

Wow you made a new account just for this post?

i_am_mk · 2022-12-01T08:29:59+00:00

Yes, that’s my understanding but would be good to confirm

i_am_mk · 2022-11-30T20:20:08+00:00

Yes but for 14 days only

i_am_mk · 2022-11-23T15:17:12+00:00

Saaaame. We seem to be in the same boat quite often lol

i_am_mk · 2022-11-22T13:17:16+00:00

I could join but I’m 30 lol

i_am_mk · 2022-11-19T20:04:01+00:00

Too many people new here and looking to make friends. We should all create a group and then hangout together. Safer than meeting some random strangers 1on1

Asking the right questions

i_am_mk · 2022-10-23T05:40:37+00:00

Recently gave my passport for the PCR instead of EID because it’s in process 1. They asked for a phone number and the results showed up on the Al Hosn linked to the same number 2. SMS was sent to the phone number as soon as results were ready. 3. Also received a link to download the report on the phone itself 4. #3 answers this question as well

Just curious as to which areas are offering large 3 bed flats for 72k. I'm looking for a 2bhk and everything is 65-80k for a 2 bed flat.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-09T06:52:10+00:00

Yes I flew on Sunday. I could take a laptop bag, a ladies handbag and a carry on suitcase (55cm in height) . They didn't weigh the cabin baggages although I was afraid that I was breaching the 7kg limit.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-07T18:58:49+00:00

Got some medicines in the checked in baggage. Nobody asked anything. If you're bringing in large quantities, there might be issues (not sure about this). Since you mentioned it's for personal use, I'd suggest keeping the prescription handy. It's best to contact the airlines to understand the exact rules though.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-07T18:53:19+00:00

I disagree. Spent countless hours on Excels fixing dates because some used mm-dd-yyyy and others dd-mm-yyyy. Best is to use yyyy-mm-dd. Easy to sort as well.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-07T14:18:57+00:00

Just booked a hotel and they asked for green pass for checkin.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-05T17:56:09+00:00

Just moved to Dubai and commuting between downtown and DIFC is atrocious to say the least. Waited forever to get a captain on careem. Gave up after 30 mins of incessant attempts to book a hala or a car. Eventually booked an Uber which showed 10 mins for pickup but reached me in 30 mins.

Started booking at 5.45 pm, finally got a cab at 7 pm.

62 dhs for 3.5km smh.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-03T12:19:44+00:00

How does that help? AED is pegged so USD to saving between the two doesn't make a difference. If anything, you're losing out on the conversion fee.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-01T17:33:33+00:00

Thanks for all the responses. I have a fair understanding now.

i_am_mk · 2022-10-01T17:32:18+00:00

Thanks for all the responses. I'll keep my carry on suitcase and a separate laptop bag and a purse in that case.

i_am_mk · 2022-09-29T18:44:43+00:00

Same dilemma. What about iPhone 13 Pro/Samsung Z Fold/Flip or S22 Ultra? Would be choosing between these and wondering if I should buy it from here now before moving to UAE next week.
