Both!

I had some CD bookings already in for January next year, but the link for this has disappeared.

That's strange. My December booking still has the CD link and it's active.

No loss for SYD. The train is much quicker to/from downtown SYD.

I wouldn't say "much" quicker, depending on the walk to the nearest train station, and that pesky $12.30 fee just to walk off the platform at SYD.

That assumes you were coming from downtown Sydney.

And not lugging the maximum number of bags allowed as a premium cabin passenger.

Anyone used CD for London - LHR?
Would one hour be sufficient for travel time, mid afternoon?
I did see some 'comments' (in Ausbt) that a tip would be appropriate (maybe 5GBP?).

Travel time will really depend on when you are travelling and from where. I don't think a tip is needed.

AusBT reports that the service is soon to be dropped for passengers to/from DFW and LAX.

From the QF website:

JUST these flights? Anyone know the reason for this?

an unusual situation : meeting MrsVinnieGLA in DXB. She is flying in from LHR on QF in F and qualifies for CD. If I go to airport to meet her off her flight, can the two of us use the CD service to our hotel? i.e. can a qualifying pax bring a guest?

ex-LHR in April I had a merc if some sort pick up from Central London. What was awesome is that it happened on a day of a tube/LHR express strike, so this was perfect to have it. I allocated 4.5 hours prior in case traffic was crazy but only took 45 mins to get to LHR. Extra lounge time :D

Very comfy ride with a friendly driver

Should be no problem.

Pick up time more than five hours early?
 
I can book Qantas drive for my upcoming QF1 departing 02:25 at DXB. But I'll be staying at Abu Dhabi. The earliest pick-up time I can choose on the website is 5 hours prior to flight (at 21:25). I can't imaging any hotels will allow me to a late check-out for that late so is it possible to arrange an earlier pick-up time, say 18:00? Thanks in advance.
