The desk does not staff Nowy Sącz, it lists it. Nobody here is on a rota. When something has to leave Lesser Poland today the list is read in order of who can reach KRK, and a courier 2 hours 2 minutes out sits near the top of it.

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
The order of events out of Nowy Sącz does not change. An offer in writing, an acceptance in writing, collection of the sealed consignment, 2 hours 2 minutes of road to KRK, check in as a passenger, and a handover against signature at the far end. The Gulf sector out of KRK is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss.
Getting to the aircraft from Nowy Sącz
The table below is ordered by drive time from Nowy Sącz rather than by the size of the airport. KRK leads at 2 hours 2 minutes and 161 km, and anything else a courier here can reach by car follows it.
2 hours 2 minutes on the road is treated as part of the assignment and priced as part of it. Where the flight out of KRK is early, you sleep near the terminal at our cost. The desk cannot route around KRK from Nowy Sącz, because nothing else is inside the drive. What KRK flies is what you can be offered.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KRK | Kraków John Paul II -Balice | 161 km | 2 hours 2 minutes | 135 |
Nowy Sącz is a city of 84,000 people in Lesser Poland, 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 Nowy Sącz may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What KRK reaches without a change
What follows is the KRK board as the data has it rather than as a brochure would have it: 135 nonstop destinations, 39 countries, and average daily flights on the heaviest routes.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAW | Warsaw | Warsaw Chopin | about 7 departures a day | 1 operator: LOT Polish Airlines |
| AMS | Amsterdam | Amsterdam Schiphol | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: KLM |
| FRA | Frankfurt-am-Main | Frankfurt-am-Main | about 5 departures a day | 1 operator: Lufthansa |
| CPH | Copenhagen | Copenhagen Kastrup | about 5 departures a day | 3 operators: Ryanair, Norwegian, SAS |

| MUC | Munich | Munich | about 4 departures a day | 2 operators: Lufthansa, Air Dolomiti |
| BGY | Bergamo | Bergamo Orio al Serio | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Ryanair |
| HEL | Helsinki | Helsinki Vantaa | about 3 departures a day | 1 operator: Finnair |
| LGW | London | London Gatwick | about 3 departures a day | 2 operators: Wizz Air, easyJet |
Counting every airport a courier in Nowy Sącz can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 135 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
What moves out of Nowy Sącz
The industrial file for the KRK catchment does not exist on this site. That does not make Nowy Sącz quiet, it makes the description honest: documents, components, samples and small high value goods.
Why a courier in Nowy Sącz is useful to the desk
A desk in Dubai cannot cover Lesser Poland from Dubai. It covers Lesser Poland by knowing who lives 2 hours 2 minutes from KRK and can be at the counter tonight, which is the only reason Nowy Sącz is written up here.
How a consignment travels between Nowy Sącz and the Gulf, in one sentence. From Nowy Sącz the Gulf is a single sector: KRK and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by flydubai. That is roughly 5h 20m in the air over 4,100 km, and it means a consignment can leave Nowy Sącz in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

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 KRK, between Poland 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 2 hours 2 minutes drive to KRK. 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 KRK, 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.
Questions about the Nowy Sącz list

From Nowy Sącz the Gulf is a single sector: KRK and DXB are joined nonstop, about one departure a day, flown by flydubai. That is roughly 5h 20m in the air over 4,100 km, and it means a consignment can leave Nowy Sącz in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.
