Paid for extra luggage......How to notify chauffeur ?
Hello:
I have upcoming trip in Emirates in F. Two weeks ago I paid for an additional 2 bags and now I have 4 checked bags. Will Emirates automatically book a larger vehicle for me airport transfer? Do I need to notify someone? It is clearly listed on my reservation 4 Checked, 2 carryon. Just trying to head off a mess on my departure day. Thank you all in advance, NYC

In most outstations, the chauffeur drive provider will confirm the pickup around 24 hours before your scheduled pickup, either by 'phone or by email and at that stage you can ask for a larger vehicle. Your username suggests that you might be leaving from JFK (or EWR?), I have no personal experience with those outstations but maybe one of our NYC based forum members can shed a light on this. Otherwise I would contact EK via the call centre and ask them directly.

Thanks, as always, to All. Today I received the confirmation from Blacklane for my car service. It said if you have any changes or questions, please notify us.....However there was no address I found to do so. Thankfully Dr. Google had an email address and I notified of baggage additns etc and they "upgraded" my transport from a Luxury sedan to a Van which can take up to 5 checked bags. Blacklane was quick to respond and were on top of things. Thanks as always for everyone's feedback. Cheers and safe travels to all!

Addison Lee is the provider at LHR (at least the last few times I have flown out of / into there). Out of LGW for the first time in over 2 years soon, presume it’s AL there as well, although in the past LHR and LGW have at times not have had the same provider.

EK seems to be transitioning to Blacklane in quite a few countries. Blacklane has been used for JFK for the past couple of years.
They were using Addison Lee at JFK a few years ago, and prior to that it was Boston Coach for many many years.
