If copayment is possible, it will be an amount per mile for each extra mile one-way. The amount obviously includes the cost of the return trip.

EK Website indicates whether it's possible and cost

That part of the website has been dumbed down considerably recently and for many (most?) destinations that information is no longer there.
But you are right in that for LAX it is still there. $28.75 per 10 miles, excluding tolls outside the 50 miles complimentary radius.
Including gratuities, it says. How that will in reality pan out in the USA remains to be seen......

Did exactly this and it worked out great. Told emirates I would be having 6 bags. Called the limo company out of curiosity, they said it likely would be a 14 person mini bus. Not exactly luxury but fine with me. Their website however shows a stretch limo option, and that is what was sent. Everything fit and driver didn't mind doing two drop offs. Thanks.

You got a stretch limo? Wow, now that's being picked up in style

Not as good as PCS because they don’t allocate my favourite driver to pick me up

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but given the number of EK daily flights, all with F cabins, why no CD at CAI?

bump.

Thanks for any insights!

Only EK knows, combination of market conditions/demand, supplier availability, costs... afraid I don't have any specific insights

Sorry if this has been covered before but
Are there distance restrictions (ie too short) at Dubai for Chauffeur drop at an airport hotel such as Meridian Hotel & Conference Centre?

No, that's my usual place to stay. Never had an issue with drop off or pick up.

There are no limits at DXB
