FlyerTalk Forums - EK Chauffeur Drive Discussion Thread

The EK website )when looking at CD for BRU) refers to a charge of €2 per KM 'excluding cities with no mileage restrictions'. The latter is something I have never seen for any other station (not that I have looked), so it could well be Luxembourg. But no, it's not specified as such.

If it is included, it would at 2 hrs 24 minutes and 194 KM (according to Google Maps) possibly the furthest free CD in the system

I can see the same "excluding cities with no mileage restrictions" also from other cities....let's see whether tomorrow they will be more specific and clear

Thanks

When travelling First, I get CD on a 172 driven mile journey taking 3 hrs 16 mins (according to Google Maps) in Scotland to Glasgow

My spouse and I are traveling on Emirates next week. One of us is booked in business class (work trip) and the other is booked in Economy. Will the chaffuer service transport both of us even though only one of us is in Business class? I assume the cars are not shared amongst multiple groups of passengers, so there should be space for the spouse. Anyone with past experience?

Yes, no problem as long as your leaving from/going to the same place.

So, it seems the whole trip from Luxembourg to the Brussels airport is free of charge.

You must come from a 'non mileage restricted city', as the 'normal' limit for GLA is 70 driven miles. Care to tell us where?

It used to be 150mile radius for First class, to cover North East of Scotland area (now reduced to 70)

Anyone notice, that for the US at least, that there's no more verbiage around "no intermediate stops" between the airport and pickup/dropoff? This seems new - I sometimes have a quick stop to make prior to a long trip but it usually took a large tip to get them to "ignore" the old rule.

As far as I'm aware, the only waiver for the 70 mile limit from GLA is for those with DD postcodes (Dundee area), and I don't even know if that's still the case since EDI was introduced. Nowhere near wcel's distance.

Tokyo chauffeur service provider

Does anyone have a contact (email) for the chauffeur service provider Emirates uses in Tokyo (Haneda)?

Just had a look at Emirates website and for the UK the allowance is being reduced from 70 miles to 50 miles

"Distance covered: 50mi

For Chauffeur-drive service provided from 15th April 2020, available up to 50 driven miles for both First Class and Business Class passengers. Excess mileage charged at GBP7.50 for the first additional mile and GBP1.90 for each further mile. Payment made directly to Chauffeur-drive service provider. __

Pretty disappointing, :(.
I live about 67 driven miles from LGW. That £7.50 for the first additional mile is like a 'fall of flag' in a taxi. Never seen that before with EK CD (I have used CD in AMS far over the free limit but always paid a single fixed rate per additional KM)
Maybe I can fall under this:

Distance covered in the map below is an approximation(excluding cities with no mileage restrictions). Chauffeur-drive service coverage is based on actual distance driven.
Wonder which those cities are......

If not, at least most of my travel for this year is booked already, so I am protected for a while.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 5:28 am.
