Repatriation Destination Sept 1, 2013 3:01:06 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some clarification. We have been told that for our annual repatiration allowance, as we are Canadian, is calculated as Montreal and not as our nearest International airport to our point of origin. I am just wondering if all Canadians are the same as we still have a 5/6 hour flight after Montreal to get back to our pont of origin.

Thanks for all your help.

Aramco has changed how the calculate the amount given for the repatriation allowance. I believe there is now only 3 zones for North America (doesn't matter which Airport is closest to your POO) so that could be why "Montreal" is mentioned as the Point of Origin.

Go any where you want.

I realise that you don't need to go back each year to your origin. It is just that the flight is more expensive to our (POO) than to Montreal and I just want to make sure Aramco had used the correct airport.

We usually all get deals and don't need all the airline money to go to tickets. Hope that works for you.
