chauffer-drive in C class or not?
Hello. I am booked in flight EK016 from LGW to DXB.
Class C (the cheapest business class)
However, I am arriving into LHR that same day in the morning.
Do you think I will get a chauffer drive that can take me from LHR to LGW?
It does not let me book it through the web site but the conditions do not say anything about "inexpensive business class tickets do not get the drive" such as Virgin does with their Z class.
On a sidenote, will the 777-300er have the new lie flat seats for flight EK016 and back DXB-LHR 017? Seatguru has not updated its database with the new seating plan!
Thanks

I am in the same situation as you - I am holiding a reservation for EK 016 connecting from LHR. All paid fares (except for some UK packaged tours) qualify. The option isn't coming up for me on the website either... it is probably just a bug. If you phone EK they should be able to arrange it for you.
Cheers,
