I know that. EK would have to be more than marginally more expensive than BA for me to choose the latter. It's more than the chauffeur drive. It's also things like the suites and the fabulous concourse A lounge.

(As it happens, I checked ba.com before booking my next flight on Emirates': BA was thousands of pounds more expensive.)

Is there Any comp BA taxi / chauffeur service ?

Booked a Fare in F, usually take Uber but have a 100 mile journey to the Midlands.

Even a decent discount would be worth considering

Only used the EK service once after arriving in F at Dubai. The driver was so bad and the experience so awful, I refused the return journey and made my own way back to the airport. VS has the advantage of being small enough to be able to offer the drive through check in, but the number of CW and F passengers BA carry would make this impossible.

I have used the EK Service in the UK, UAE and India and it has been pretty decent.

Had some poor sometimes in the UAE i.e not calling phone or ringing doorbell when arriving.
