Where would you get the bus from? I assume it's meant for connecting passengers, so it would be before you got through transit security?
So, if you wanted to get from departures / airside in T3 to departures / airside in T1, you'd first need to go the "wrong way" through transit security in T3, then get the bus, then go through T1 transit security. And then the reverse to get back to T3. Not something I'd like to try :) |

OK good to know. The infant can be in her seat in the middle so that's part is ok. We definitely will have more bags than can fit in a car for sure though. I guess I can just hope that send an suv, as they did for the pickup. If I do call, should I mention that I have extra passengers? I don't mind going to one location vs two, I guess that depends on the driver and if they are OK with it, or if they are being watched by GPS to make sure they go only one place. I don't want to get them in trouble of course.

I may be confused on something I read so I am looking for clarity. We are taking EK from DXB-LAX and thought I read they can not pick up at the airport. Is that correct? If so, where do they pick you up? Thanks TD |

You are entitled to airport drop off at DXB and a pickup at LAX unless you booked using AS award which is exempt.

But they can pick us up at LAX airport, I presume right outside the customs/baggage claim doors? We don’t have to meet they somewhere else away from LAX? TD |

Sshh, we don't talk about them here |
Sorry if it have been asked before,
Does a QF operated flight (purchased through Emirates) from Sin to Mel eligible for Chauffeur Drive ? EK on EK options timing is not really nice as it arrive waay too early |

EK on EK options timing is not really nice as it arrive waay too early I booked a chauffer service online on the Qantas website, using my QF booking reference generated for the SIN-MEL leg, and it confirmed the booking. Knowing Qantas as being inherently unreliable, I called to confirm the validity of the booking and I was told it was definitely confirmed and that a driver will be there to take me the 135km to my home. They understood that I am a Skywards member flying QF metal for the last leg of my trip. The trick here is that Qantas makes the service available, not Emirates. Yes EK CD cannot be booked, but Qantas does provide a separate service (for a price!) to people like kaizen7 and myself. I don't know how the costs compare, I'm assuming it's not outrageously different to EK. Having said all this, I know what Qantas is like. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and at the same time updating the Uber app on my phone!! |
Interesting, Does this paid CD service can be booked for any routes (sin-mel) ? Travel will be on either j or f though. |

For LAX they say up to 50 miles free. If my drop-off is 100 miles from LAX do I just pay for an extra 50? Is there any cost associated with the extra miles they will need to drive back? TD |
