(No I am not continuing onto DXB) When I go into "manage my booking" and select airport transfer option, it shows a cost of $95+ (depending on car choice)... I was under the impression that first class was free (less than 60km) (My hotel is only 13 miles from MEL) Is it not allowing "free" because my first class tix is only to AKL, or for some other reason? (It say tips, tolls, gas FREE - but still shows a price of $95 for the transfer....)??? https://www.emirates.com/english/exp...auffeur-drive/ |

Weird that they Manhattan zip codes are not listed. You will not have any problem with CD taking you to midtown. The offered range is actually quite big, all the way up in Westchester County. From the EK website: “Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) transfers The following are a list of the towns that are within the allowable radius of 50 miles to/from Newark Liberty International Airport.”
Midtown is way less than 50 miles from EWR. Have a great trip! I'll update on the car model too. Thanks! |

Chauffeur car at EWR F class 13/12 arrival - Chevrolet Suburban
no issues with address on Manhattan Island, even though zip code not listed on Emirates website. |
Chauffeur drive from DUS on 7 Dec (F) - BMW 7 Series. Contract still with Sixt but had a subcontractor take me that day.
|
Thank you both, especially [MENTION=875311]bennyq[/MENTION] since I had no details for EWR in the main post until now.

Chauffeur drive to DUS today (F) - brand new S-Class and done by Sixt. Felt like being on a 777 😂 They also have Audi A8 and are happy to take requests! |
Anyone know what cars are used for F in MXP and YYZ? Years ago, they used the Lexus LS in YYZ.
Also, if you have multiple passengers in your group, can you request more than 1 car per group? We will have 4 of us and a fair bit of luggage, so I think we will need two sedans. Technically, up to 4 cars should be offered because those are four paid tickets, but I wonder how it works in practice. |

I love being driven around in the new S, especially the LWB version with the mood lighting! I use a car service when I go to London and they have these smartly tailored chauffeurs with new S classes and it's fun just chilling in the back with the curtains drawn. For those curious, I think the cost is around 300 GBP a day if I remember correctly.

Lovely and very comfy car - though the boot space is pathetic. I had two regular suitcases and the driver couldn't fit them in due to the inbuilt fridge and other stuff. |
So I guess either EK is not sticking to one car service provider for JFK or already got out of their contract with FlyteTime. EK is using Addison Lee Group at JFK now. Never heard of them, but looks like they're a big car service provider in the UK?
