To answer my own question, I couldn't see a single S class in the entire CD area upon arrival - only the E classes and the 5 series (and a handful of Volvos dotted around).
I see 2 or 3 of them whenever I fly in from ISB, around 12 noon. They're very hard to spot, and usually parked far apart from each other, but I've seen them. |

Just off the phone to Bidvest who are providing the CD at JNB.
Currently have Mercedes C-class, Audi A4, VW Passat and Kombi (Bus) available for both J and F pax. I am pretty sure that I've had a Mercedes E-Class before but was told "for your group [I am in F] those are the cars. Others are there only for iO - invitation only passengers". |

Cape Town based and only ever had an C class for J/F travel. JNB seems to have a more wider selection of cars, but only C/E class used for majority of the bookings it seems regardless of J/F travel.
I think i would pass on the VW Passat if it showed up ! :D But when coming back (in F!), it was a VW transporter! One of these 7 seater things. The driver loaded our luggage into the middle row of seats :confused: and ‘invited’ us to sit in the back row. Legroom worse than Y. On the way to Blouberg he managed to get hopelessly lost in Paarden Eiland and I had to direct him home. The worst drive I have ever experienced. Leaving from LGW the previous day it was a Mercedes E class station wagon, looked like a hearse. But very comfortable and an excellent and pleasant driver, who was parked outside the house half an hour early and sent us a text with 15 minutes to go. |
Has anyone ever done a 'long distance' CD in AMS?
We need to go to Franeker, which is 130KM away. In the past, we have taken the train, but that's actually a hassle, taking up to 3 hours. Looking at Google maps, its a 130KM drive taking an hour and a half. 65KM is the 'free allowance', and according to the EK website €1.80 per KM above that. Train would cost us something like €26 each, so € 52 in total (in train Y, but that's OK). So it will work out at €65 more than the train, which is worth it to me for a variety of reasons (timing, hassle, comfort) I have never done 'excess milage' on my CD anywhere. Any experience with it in AMS? EK website says pay card or cash. |
Anyone know if STN is likely to get CD?
Its not mentioned and it’s just over 12 weeks to my flight to STN... |
A few updates on my CD experiences in the last year.
In MAA, they now have E Class, BMW 5 series as well as Audi A5! IN CPH, recently got a brand new E class. I fly in to / out of MXP at least once in 3 months and have got a Merc Viano everytime even though I have never specifically requested for it. Its great because I usually have 3 large suitcases. |

As there is a paywall please provide a summary of the article here, is there something new or just a rehash that they use PCS? There've been many articles over the years in that regard
