Chauffeurdrive question
 

Good evening.
I've been an interested lurker for a while - thanks to all for the information and opinions - I've learnt a lot.

Can I ask if anyone has any guidance about Chauffeurdrive eligibility?

I'm booked LHR to Bishkek in business (booking class P). According to the BMI website the Chauffeurdrive service is available in booking class P for Almaty but Bishkek is not mentioned. Since the flight to Bishkek stops briefly in Almaty I feel it is reasonable to hope that it will be available for those of us going on to Bishkek.

Phoning the ICC to try and book this has met with no joy. After a long discussion with a supervisor I have been told that they need to talk with London and will let me know on Tuesday evening.

Does anybody have experience that would support my view / hope? Anybody have any suggestions about how I might influence the decision?

Many thanks.

It depends if they have a local agreement in Bishkek.

It would seem there is an exception in Almaty and in Saudi Arabia

So it seems you need to be in C, D or J I'm afraid

Thanks. It is the UK end that I'm requesting - we have transport arranged in Bishkek.

and welcome to Flyertalk pomkiwi. ^:)

Rather like your location, too. :D

I'm up in the Alpine north........:)

All sorted out :-).
I'm not sure that many people go in Business as far as Bishkek, on my last 3 trips the (few) people up front all got off in Almaty. This is not surprising if you compare the two countries.
