I fly to MAN thurs and usually get an s-class.

What car did you end up getting?

Update for MAN, they have a few Audi A8's since Mercedes barred them from having any new cars.

Main post updated.

Thanks.

I just booked to go to MRU 29th Nov to 3 Dec - assume you won't be there again so soon?

Will we get CD on arrival in Wellington if flying EK DXB-MEL in F and connecting to QF MEL-WLG in J?
What I can find online suggests we will but I see no mention of WLG in this thread.

No unfortunately - off to Khao Lak Thailand in early December though and back to Mauritius in March :D
Enjoy Mauritius - the weather was heating up last week and summer's arrived - plus the humidity is kicking in now which I won't miss!

Give EK (or QF) a call and find out, sorry for not being of any help in this case, don't know if you've seen this or not, but there's a very confusing PDF on EK's website about eligibility of CD in WLG, here's the link.

I had seen that, thanks, which, I think, says that we will!

I'll give them a call closer to our departure.

Yes, in F. :)

Good luck and do let us know what car you got so I can add WLG to this list too, even though from what I could gather, the CD is operated by Qantas and not EK.

HK Chauffer Drive only for F
 
Does anyone know why chauffer drive in HK is only for F pax?

Is HK the only station with such a restriction?

I've done this flight twice this year and can confirm it's for F passengers only.

Interestingly we stayed at the landmark MO both times recetky and it was the hotel s-class that took us and picked us up and dropped us off.

As far as I know it's the only place a car is restricted to first class only.

Interesting they put you in a hotel car. Although it is a while since I was last there, I would imagine HK is not a very hard station to offer chauffer drive at. I wonder why they only manage to offer it tio F pax.

Ireland:
Destination: DUB (Dublin Airport)
Cabin: J (Business Class)
Vehicle(s): Mercedes Benz E-Class / BMW 5 series
Cabin: F (First Class)
Vehicle(s): Mercedes Benz S-Class / Lexus LS
-Reservations/Call Center: +353 1 517 1600
-Airport Office:+353 1 944 6907
-Mileage: 112 km (70 miles) from DUB (for Business Class) / 240 km (150 miles) from DUB (First Class)
I don't know if this has changed or it's a typo but I think the First Class Mileage should read 150 km as per the Emirates website.
