Love it ! That would be so funny if they really did simply 'hire' a taxi for him.

After a lot of argument, they arranged something for him and he was extremely happy - it was a very smart Toyota Camry...(I am pretty sure they went to one of the airport taxi operators and just hired it for him!)

Obviously not !
But just out of sight of the image/status conscious bloke, they did take the precaution of putting a lovely big (and very temporary !) sticker on the outside of the Camry's rear passenger door saying ............ "Emirates First Class" :cool: |

Guys if you have a confirmed chauffeur reservation are you able to call up a few days before and request a car ?
It says (on this thread) for MEL that the cars are Holden Caprice or BMW 7-series or Mercedes Viano but last time I got a Chrysler 300C and want to avoid a repeat of that. Cheers +61 3 8318 6600 |
1st class should not go in MPV unless they request it.
There are a few business class passengers who make it known they hate MPV. Normally they are too stupid to realise that complaining makes the chance of getting one next time too higher unless Emirates say not to which is unlikely. Moaning to a driver is about as much use as moaning to your spouse. |

Speaking only for me, it's always a sedan. The only times I get a Viano, is when I inform them beforehand that I have many large luggages. The only issue with Viano is that it is made in Spain. I'd much have confidence in german engineers :D:D:D:D |
MXP Hotel to airport - Mercedes S class
JFK Airport to home - Cadillac Escalade |

Has anyone had any luck getting a chauffeur (perhaps mid-trip) on a reward ticket?

So I just booked an AS award flight and the CD option is showing on my manage reservations page. But from what I'm reading, any CD booking I do would be cancelled? Is that correct?

Note that at DXB, you may also get lucky by just showing up at the chauffeur drive desk with your F BP as the cars are pretty much lining up waiting - they aren't preassigned to passengers.
|
I think just after the changes were introduced (ie no CD on Alaska awards) there might have been one or two chancers who struck lucky. But the staff know the drill now. Plus, they DO key your BP details into the system of course.
