Why take a taxi in the first place? I would have known better and arranged for a Mercedes-Benz or equivalent to drop me off at the airport. These can be arranged by the hotel concierge.

Also, it seems that First Class passengers tend to usually travel either alone or with a partner (and not a whole family).
