Chauffeur Drive FAQs
EK is taking bookings for ORD service but still not offering chauffeur drive. Since this is offered in all other US destinations, assume it will come to ORD soon. Any insights on this?

Chauffeur service - which car?
Hi

Just did a quick search on this forum, but could not find an answer - could someone please guide me as to which car does Emirates use for its chauffeur service for F pax in London?

Thanks in advance for any info!

The DUR cars range from Range Rovers to Volvos. The Volvo is much more common...

in BKK I had an E-class.

In MAN I get a huge variety of Mercs and even a Jag once. I do MAN so much that the same guy usually picks me up! ^

in BKK was that the E-class for J or F? I recently had a BMW 7 series for an F pickup in BKK.

Hi,

I will be traveling in F to Milan later this month and will be using the car service to the airport for the first time. Will I receive a phone call call confirming the ride ? Also , my flight is at 10:40 pm -what time would pick up be at my home in New Jersey ?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Based off of my experiences, you do get a phone call 24 hours prior to pickup. They pick you up in a standard East Coast "black cab" which could be anything from a Lincoln Town Car to a GMC Yukon.

I'd say a 6.30pm pick up time is enough time, since depending on the day you might hit traffic on the GW Bridge and again on the Van Wyck Highway.

You may not hit too much traffic on GWB as you are moving against the rush hour traffic but you'll get a bit on Van Wyck around 5 miles out from JFK.

I'm looking for it as well. Seems there isn't a lounge or lounge contract in place either.
