It says (on this thread) for MEL that the cars are Holden Caprice or BMW 7-series or Mercedes Viano but last time I got a Chrysler 300C and want to avoid a repeat of that.

Is it a brand issue ? (image not matching your status )
Or a practical issue ?

If it is a baggage issue, call Emirates to inform them that you have a lots of them.
As for me, I write a message in the address ! Usually, it is either
"please call if late" or "4 large suite-cases". And it works perfectly.

Concerning the "please call if late" : once, CD arrived 10 minutes late, while they usually show up 15min in advance. I understand traffic issues, but I didn't appreciate that he didn't call. The chauffeur said, that, EK doesn't give the pax tel number for confidentiality issues. That's total B..S..., as 1) he could have called EK, to inform me, 2) the other chauffeurs always called me upon arrival.
Anyway, to close any debate, I decided to put this note each time.
