Dear novie
Did you ask about charges and why not take it with ourselves
I dont remember about the charges exactly thats why i didnt mention. But that wasn't high. May be USD15. Actually bank earn on spread rather than charges. However, in a couple of days i will recheck with the bank and update the forum members.
Its a matter of choice if one should carry so much cash. I will not prefer to carry cash because you never know who is the informer and when you will be robbed. Actually my style is to understand all the available options and keep the decision pending to the maximum time allowed. So i am still undecided what i am going to do.

W/Salam

Landing money is mandatory to bring along with you. Rest you can declare and bring later on second visit. Rest you earn later will not be tax free you can bring but problem is this that foreign income will not be tax free but there is solution if its not large amount keep it for cash purchasing.

I checked with Bank al Habib and they told me about FTT (Foreign currency TT). I think why not take a 6 months verified bank statement to Toronto and after opening account in Canada any of your family member can transfer this sum to your account through FTT. This is a cheaper method as well as it will take max 3 days to get the money plus safest. Explore this option.

In my opinion DD is the good option. I doubt that at air port they will accept bank statement, only draft or cash will be accepted.

Dear Sir

A piece of advice , if you are travelling with children , chose direct flight either PIA or Emirates , these break journeys will frustrate your children , and are very tiring

Best Of Luck
The wise decision will be to opt PIA, however you have your right for final decesion.

There is no comparison at all.
Emirates is all the way.

one might prefer PIA based only one factor which is Direct flight from your base town.
