My chauffeur drive to BKK yesterday no-showed, so I took hotel car. Car service called while I was en route to apologize, blamed it on traffic. I responded, "it's Bangkok, on Sukhumvit, of course there's traffic." A representative met me at the airport and reimbursed for the hotel car service in cash.

I was picked up in an S class last week. Terrible traffic at CDG on a Sunday morning. |

Do the drivers allow you to bring extra passengers, if the pickup and drop-off is at the same locations? Is there a surcharge for this?

Yeah not had an issue with this at VIE or BOM in the past, even where in BOM I dropped off my friend enroute to the airport (just gave her a lift to a more central area to catch a cab). Drivers don't mind

More PAX than usual using CD a few weeks ago in BKK arriving on EK419. I ended up in an AOT MB.

As in your CD was the AOT MB (minibus?) or you gave up and didn't use the CD?
I got an E arriving BKK in F last week, which was mildly disappointing. They were super disorganized. |

I'm assuming that means "Mercedes Benz." If AOT, that would be an E class; their more upscale vehicle is the 7 series BMW.

Pretty average experience to LGW today. No phone call a day or two before, 15 min late as had ignored postcode and ended up at a similar address 15km away. On and off the brakes the whole way and then insisted on cash for the excess mileage at the airport after EK had assured me that credit card was fine. Carey Cars need to up their game in my opinion |

Carey Cars need to up their game in my opinion My next CD will be Canterbury to LGW, which is ‘only’ about 67 driven miles, so inside the allowance from both points of view. |
The charge was fine - I am outside the 70mile radius and I had been given the amount to be charged accurately by EK when I phoned them earlier in the week. My issue was in the poor organisation and poor driver from Carey. It was lucky I had the cash on me even though EK had assured me that a credit card would be fIne. i am within the radius from LHR but on this occasion the fare difference was large enough to make the CD issues worth it! The crew on today’s flight are also excellent which makes this a minor moan :) |
From the last fortnight.
Home to SYD - Right on the new 80km limit, Holden Caprice Hotel to BKK - Mercedes E-class SYD to home - Again, just under 80km limit, Hyundai Genesis Certainly a noticeable different in vehicles, Thailand vs Australia. |
