Teplice is on the list because DRS is reachable and busy. 16 scheduled nonstop destinations and 9 operating carriers mean the desk is rarely stuck for a routing, and 1 hour 25 minutes of road means you are rarely too far to take it. Those two facts together are the whole reason Teplice has a page of its own.

What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Top published feeAED 2,000The highest fee the site shows for a single assignment: sealed medical samples in a cooled case, Dubai to Singapore.
Published band, per assignmentAED 900 to 2,600A document pouch to London is AED 1,200, an aircraft part to Frankfurt AED 1,500, an escorted watch on the Berlin lane AED 1,800.
What the flight costs youAED 0The desk books and pays the ticket, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never fronts the fare.
The one payment you makeAED 199, returnedThe Academy, paid once. It comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. Applying itself is free.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.

How to start, in four steps
1
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
4
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
You will usually know the day before, sometimes only in the morning. The desk sends the routing out of DRS, the sealed consignment reaches you or you collect it, and the drive of 1 hour 25 minutes is timed backwards from the check in deadline rather than the departure. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of FRA, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real.
Getting to the aircraft from Teplice
Measured door to terminal, Teplice to DRS is 94 km and 1 hour 25 minutes. That is the number the desk uses when it decides whether to call Teplice for a departure this evening.
At 1 hour 25 minutes the drive from Teplice is the risky half of the trip, so it is planned rather than assumed: an earlier departure from home, and where the flight is early, a room near DRS paid by the desk. A backup gate changes what can be promised out of Teplice. From Teplice, Prague Ruzyně is 1 hour 30 minutes away and flies to 191 airports nonstop, so the desk has somewhere to move a consignment when the first flight goes.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DRS | Dresden | 94 km | 1 hour 25 minutes | 16 |
| PRG | Prague Ruzyně | 109 km | 1 hour 30 minutes | 191 |
| LEJ | Leipzig Halle | 188 km | 2 hours 4 minutes | 85 |
Teplice is a city of 51,000 people in Ústí nad Labem Region, and the clock there runs 2 hours behind the Emirates in summer and 3 in winter. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Teplice may exist and still not appear in the table above.

Why a courier in Teplice is useful to the desk
Most of what the desk moves out of Ústí nad Labem Region is small, sealed and late. The constraint is never the size, it is finding a person near enough to DRS. Teplice is near enough: 1 hour 25 minutes to DRS, on a board with 16 nonstop destinations.
There is no nonstop between DRS and the Emirates, and this page says so rather than implying otherwise. From Teplice the best single change is Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), and FRA to DXB is flown by Emirates, about 3 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 8h 39m gate to gate, so an assignment between Teplice and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of DRS and the other airports listed above, between the Czechia and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 1 hour 25 minutes drive to DRS. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach DRS, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
