Hi,
Not sure if this is the right thread, point me in the right direct if so. Flying into EWR on Dec 13 in F, staying in Midtown, NYC. According to the EK website, it doesn't list any Manhattan Zip codes for Chauffeur drive, but has Zip codes for Brooklyn (Whereas flights into JFK has Manhattan zip codes and EWR is as close as JFK). Can anyone confirm if Manhattan is included for the flight arriving at EWR?
Thanks!

Midtown is way less than 50 miles from EWR. Have a great trip!

It depends. If a regular or redemption booking on Emirates or Qantas then yes, no problem. If it's a partner award, or you just have a long transit in BKK and hope to use it to see some of the city, then no.

EK Chauffeur Service Question
Booked IAD to DXB to JFK on EK F using JAL miles. Given these are two award flights, I assumed no chauffeur service was available. However, upon logging into to my EK account, I noticed that I can book chauffeur service from JFK, but not to IAD on my outbound leg. Is this a glitch? If not, is there a way to also get chauffeur service to IAD?

OK so I purchased a o/w first class ticket from MEL to AKL (note purchased first class - not miles) ($1,130.00 USD)
(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....)???
