Chauffeur service... can everyone in your party join?
Being a business class passenger for my Etihad flight I'm given the opportunity to use the complimentary chauffeur service which I have every intention of using. However, while I'm traveling, I will be with a few friends who are flying on the exact same itinerary as me, but not in business class. Two are award economy seats through AA miles and one is paid out of pocket. If we're leaving from the exact same place are they allowed to join me so long as the car fits everybody or is this not allowed?

You could probably get away with it, they don't care who is in the car, however your issue will be luggage space. Even with 2 large suitcases and 2 carry ons the drivers have to use the front passenger seat for storage in an S Class if we sit in the back.

Might depend on the driver as it is my understanding that it is not permitted - a decent tip might help but if you are traveling TO the airport then make sure you have a plan B just in case
