Not sure many folk on here know Emirates flies from Newcastle upon Tyne! It never gets a mention!! We have mostly had Volvo estates but I understand they have a Mercedes(S Class?) for VIP's. It's the same company contracted to Manchester. Will confirm and advise model next time we fly.

^ . Not aware of the local situation at Rio, but do people take pot shots at people sitting in expensive cars there:confused:

So there's a risk of getting shot if you're in Business Class? :P

On a serious note, any idea what car it is?

Hya fellas,

In LIS it vary a lot. I got never the same wheels. From VW multivan, MB S serie, E serie, BMW 5 serie, I picked pretty much all of them. Always in J, but I know if is the same service for F.

Just an update from Mumbai, apparently they may be changing their car supplier (carzonrent) and most of us (all J class, no F) were picked up in an E class instead of the rickety old C class (just 3 or 4 of them). Hope that is here to stay.
