1) Drop off from airport to destination in the city usually doesn't warrant a text message from the company.
As for pickup, the chauffeur company will either call or text him, and yes, not having a local number isn't an issue. As long as his roaming is enabled and he's able to receive calls/texts on that number. 2) Directly with the chauffeur company? Probably not. You can email EK for confirmation or message them on Twitter. In my experience, once I called in about chauffeur pickup in DXB and the guy emailed a copy of the chauffeur confirmation to the email address on file for the booking. 3) Drivers usually don't mind so yes, you can hop in. 4) Not really sure about that, someone else may be able to comment. Your dad's name will probably be on the sign though. I've got the link to the Chauffeur Drive thread in my signature, first post should have a local number in Prague that you can call. |

Seems like OP is sorted, so figured I'd post my own questions here. Booked my dad on Emirates J as a treat (KUL>DXB>PRG) but have never flown it myself and we are flying from different locations so I'm a bit of a nervous nelly at the moment.
1) If my dad's cell is not local (i.e., Malaysian cell), will he still get a phone-call/text confirmation for his Prague pick-up/drop-off? 2) Is there a way to confirm with the company via email (rather than call)? I'm nervous about things getting lost in translation over the phone 3) On the way back, would I be able to hop into the car with my dad to the airport (I'm on a different flight) or would they take issue with this? I'm actually considering just booking a car with the hotel for ~30 Euros just to avoid the coordination but seems silly to turn down a free car. But I also don't want to run into any issues with getting to the airport to catch our flights. 4)*one more question! At Arrivals, the sign they hold up will clearly be noted that they are from Emirates, right? Thanks in advance! |
Wanted to thank you all so much for all your help and advice before our flights.
Everything went perfectly, the four Chauffeur pick ups were great, especially the ones in the UK we had the same driver both ways and he was so lovely and we were picked up in a huge car in Singapore...felt like royalty. The flights were amazing, loved everything about them :D. Well worth every penny they cost us. Would hate to travel in economy again... and will only ever want to travel on an A380 in the future :) Thank you all once again you were brilliant |

The sign is usually red with an Emirates logo at the top, at least everywhere I've seen it, haven't been to PRG
OP: Glad to hear everything worked out perfectly for you! Hoping for the same for my Dad, except he only gets the service in PRG and not in KUL :mad: |
Got a Volkswagen transporter 'bus' in CPT today.:(:td:
Driver apologised and told me that the CD requirements were very hectic at the moment and they had to beg / borrow whatever cars they could get to satisfy demand. There was indeed an army of Emirates drivers in arrivals (EK770) |

Not a luxury car but does the trick, how was the flight with your ribs? No op-up to F?
The ribs are still a bit sore but getting better. Thanks for asking! Unfortunately no op up. There was even an empty seat in J. On the AMS/DXB leg I had 26B, which is 'the seat from hell'. Just in front of the bar (fortunately it was not a MAN flight 😜) and the B seats feel really cramped and uncomfortable. And we parked right at the end of the airport so a reaaaaally long bus ride. Then EK 770 was parked virtually next to where we had come from 2 hours earlier. 😡 I feel I covered more mileage bussing and walking in DXB today than actually flying. So no fears for the do on Friday..... |

I usually tip the driver around 40-50 AED whenever I arrive in DXB, however considering you're flying to BKK, somebody else may be able to shed some light on what is an appropriate amount for the driver.
Have a safe flight. Cheers |

As a refugee from Etihad to Emirates does anybody know which chauffeur company Emirates use in BKK, contact number would be useful. I realise that arrival will not be an issue but would like to have their details for my BKK departure just in case. Thanks.
I believe that they use PCS at MAN so I have their number. |
Hope it goes will for your Dad, we loved it.
We flew Air Malaysia as our internal flights..wasn`t quite the same!! |

Do Emirates not supply Chauffer cars for business passengers at Hong Kong?
