I arrive in Abu Dhabi on Etihad and leave Dubai a couple days later on Emirates F. I came across this in the T&C when booking;

Even my India number was ignored although I gave it while booking the India chauffeur drive. Everything was sent to my UK number which was in the passenger profile.
. She had a UK mobile which was luckily on roaming .

The previous provider (carzonrent ) used to call on my Indian number that I used to give while booking chauffeur drive.

11 years driving in Dubai as well as months on the SZR driving between Dubai and Taweelah turned me into a monster back home. The comparatively sedate Melbourne drivers had trouble with my cutting into narrow gaps, entering a carriageway with not too much room to spare, and other manoeuvres essential for getting from A to B in Dubai, but frowned upon in Australia.
Luckily, the Victoria Police did not notice my behaviour during the normalisation period when I arrived home!

For flights which depart around 8-9am, going up to Dubai on the night before means you can wake up at a sensible time like 6am, rather than 4:30am. That can make a huge difference on how the rest of that day feels.

Glasgow chauffeur drive
Hi, Does anyone have a clue on this? Previously the chauffeur drive allowed for travel to DD postcode areas (ie Dundee and north). Now that there is the Edinburgh flight which would cover North of DD are they being more strict in enforcing the 70mile radius rule from Glasgow?

Earlier pickup time
It’s my first time using the Emirates limo service and when I went to book the driver all they listed were times up to 5 hrs ahead of the flight. Sure, that‘s normally plenty of time, but I’ll be in Singapore for one flight and Dubai for another and I wanted to spend a little more time to see the airports, maybe do some shopping, enjoy all that the lounges have to offer, take a shower etc.
Is there a way to have them change the pickup time? Or do I just wait till I get to the airport and someone with Emirates there can do it? Thanks.

Thanks. I sure won’t need 24 hrs. But a few more hours to explore the airport and savour the lounges is wat I want. It’s not business; just a pleasure trip. And I want to maximize the pleasure.

Looks like Emirates eliminates chauffeur on their own awards starting from March, 2019.
Emirates to eliminate chauffeur service on award tickets ? Premium Miles
