GLA-MEL 30th November, returning end of February. About our 12th business class flight with Emirates. Be aware that Emirates (and not Addison-Lee or any other provider) changed their policy on 1/1/23; free CD within 70 miles by road, not as the crow flies as with our previous 12 trips. We were shocked to receive an email the day before travel with an invoice for just under £100. When queried we got a 'nothing to do with us, it's Emirates new policy, do you want a number to ring to discuss it with them, if you don't pay we'll cancel your booking. We will ask for the same amount the day before your return flight'. So, since Covid - Emirates have nearly doubled business class fares, give you fewer Skywards miles for the same trip and now charge for over 70 miles on the CD. Why do we continue to fly with them? They are the only airline flying from Glasgow with one stop to Australia, they are the only airline including CD (albeit on a changed basis), a bit of force of habit, better the devil you know etc. We'll be investigating alternatives next time before automatically booking with Emirates. I think Addison Lee sub contract to West of Scotland limousines for some/all of GLA business but I might be wrong?
