I am new on the Emirates forum, so am sure this questions will have been asked before, however..............
If I arrive in J/F in Duabi late evening and choose to stay at an airport hotel for that first night, does manage my booking allow the pickup chauffeur to be booked for the following morning to take us to our hotel?
Thanks.

Hello all-
My friend and I will be heading to Milan from JFK at the end of June (first time on Emirates and first time on an A380
) We will be heading to the airport from two different locations. I got a little confused when trying to book the cars....can we send the cars to two different locations or do we take one and make multiple stops? I only ask since there is an option for up to three addresses, but only one spot for the zip code. Also, when we land in Milan, is there a chauffeur desk (like Virgin has at Heathrow) or does the driver meet you? Last thing....how much time would you allow from the central train station in Milan (our hotel is near there) back to MXP?
Thank you in advance for your help.

No Chauffeur Desk in Milan, from what I've heard, the driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall.
After checking Google Maps, Central Train Station seems quite far from the airport, so it's up to you how early you want to book the car.
I'd suggest at least 4hrs before the flight as there is a possibility of traffic and if you get there early, you can enjoy the lounge.

Extra stopp in NYC not possible. Have to meet at the same address or book two cars.
There is a guy with a name board in the arrival hall.

The car or the Arrivals Lounge?
Have tried to find an answer to my question, but without success.
My flight gets into BNE at 06:40 and I would like to spend a couple of hours in the Arrivals Lounge first.
Is this possible or would the driver be there, ready and waiting to take me to my hotel after I clear passport & customs?

At most outstations they have already pre-assigned a driver to you based on your luggage requirements and destination time - as in, worked out how long it will take to get you there and back for the next shift. I suppose you could ask the driver whether he could wait 2-3 hours, but considering they get paid by the job, not the hour, I suspect he/she (and the company!) will be rather unhappy at the prospect!
