Air Travel & Tickets
ASK provides an economy class airplane ticket for each recruited employee, covering travel from the major international airport nearest their point of origin to Kuwait via the most direct route. The school does not cover expenses for train, taxi, bus, or any other local transportation to or from the airport.
You are encouraged to keep all flight receipts, boarding passes, and related documents. These may be useful for registering frequent flyer accounts or for personal records once you arrive in Kuwait.
All newly recruited employees will arrive in Kuwait with others traveling from the same general region. For most employees coming from North America and Europe, the final leg of the journey is typically from Doha to Kuwait.
The school will send your final travel itinerary and flight details once confirmed.
Checked & Excess Baggage
Checked & Excess Baggage
This is our recommended method for bringing your belongings to Kuwait.
One of the easiest and most reliable ways to transport your personal items is by bringing them as checked or excess baggage on your flight. This allows your belongings to arrive with you and avoids delays associated with separate shipping. Be sure to check with your airline for current baggage fees, weight limits, and size restrictions.
Qatar Airways is the carrier most commonly used by ASK. It is a good idea to contact the airline in advance to make arrangements for any excess baggage. Since many new teachers may be arriving on the same flight, advance notice helps the airline prepare and reduces the risk of your luggage being denied at check-in or delayed on arrival.
Save all receipts for baggage fees, as you may be eligible for reimbursement according to the shipping allowance in your contract.
Important Reminders:
Do not bring alcohol, pork products, or pornographic material into Kuwait. These items are illegal and may result in arrest.
Prescription medications must be carried with you and packed in clearly labeled medical containers.
Label all luggage, boxes, or trunks with the following address:
Your Name
American School of Kuwait
Block 7, Al-Muthana Street
Hawalli, Kuwait
On the day of travel, confirm with the check-in desk that all of your luggage is tagged to go all the way through to Kuwait International Airport to avoid delays or misrouted bags.
