Oh that is interesting.
I just this evening booked for DXB-MCT tomorrow morning and I got the same message in my booking on line (for arrival into Muscat). But I didn't know about chauffeur drive in MCT and on previous flights I didn't see it offered (it may have slipped my mind because I always rent a car in Muscat).
So, perhaps some kind of IT bug....?

My booking for ISB-DXB showed Chauffeur Drive availability in ISB, which is also wrong since there is no Chauffeur service anywhere in Pakistan.
The error message seems to show up on all bookings.
Also, as another member mentioned, the only destination in ME with CD is DOH.

There was a brilliantly written theory posted a few pages back about why there is no CD service in KUL.

I haven't seen this mentioned but for the past month or so (6 trips to and from the DXB airport), as a Plat, I've been getting the First Class cars even when travelling in business. A couple of the drivers had said that Plats in Business get the First Class cars.

RedDxb : Have never achieved Plat (and on current projections, am unlikely to do so), but it sounds like a sensible-enough policy to me that you should get F category cars, even if only (?) at DXB where the extensive fleet enables this.
It can however sometimes come down to demand and availability, and I have on the odd occasion been given an F car when travelling J, and indeed vice-versa. Never really bothers me either way, simply because I've always regarded the CD service as simply a convenient, hassle-free means of getting to/from airport and home/hotel.

Does EK Chauffeur service to JFK usually call to confirm? I am flying out of JFK at midday tomorrow and my airport pickup shows as being booked on the Emirates site but I have yet to receive a confirmation phone call.
Thanks!
Thanks!

First time using the chauffeur serice. I'm currently in Taipei, Taiwan and will be flying out of here. When putting in the address for pick up, should I put in the chinese address or the english version of the chinese address?

Whatever you feel comfortable with but I'd probably go for the English version in case the IT system throws a fit - it will get sent to the local outstation for processing anyway, and they will all be bilingual.

Hi. We're a family of 4 travelling from MAN. We'll all have a large bag each. Should we ask for 2 cars and ask for a people carrier when the CD provider calls to confirm, or just go with the 1 car and hope there's a big enough one available? Thanks

4 people in a normal estate or saloon car is not going to be that comfortable - ask them for a Viano.
