OK the way I read it at first were that flights to/from USA are eligible.

So I assume KUL - IAH - KUL is not eligible but IAH - KUL - IAH is ?

Just noticed another condition that I had originally overlooked:
"The complimentary drive is only provided in US and Canada gateway cities."
It's disappointing that no ride is offered at the other end of an eligible journey.

Both are not eligible.
Only itineraries that starts from the destinations provided at my previous post ( shortened: ELG ) are eligible.

ELG-USA/CAN-ELG -> Eligible
USA/CAN-ELG-USA/CAN -> Not eligible

Itineraries that start from or end at KUL is not eligible.

Hello,

A few questions..
Has anyone used TK's chauffeur service "Exclusive Drive" recently? Is it still available post in COVIS-19 times? What cars do they use? Do they wait for you if your flight is delayed?
Travelling on J Class from YYZ to AMM, so I should qualify.

Thanks in Advance!

Also, It seems I can book the service going to YYZ (outbound) and coming back from YYZ only (Inbound). Does this service include shuttle from gate to Airplane and vice versa? Where can I book the gate to plane service?
Thanks

Yes, you are eligible for the Exclusive Drive service if your ticket is a revenue ticket. Upgraded tickets and award tickets do not qualify.
And, according to their website, they have resumed their Exclusive Drive service so you would be able to benefit from them.

I have never used that service so I don't know about the details.
You could find more details here: https://exclusivedrive.turkishairlines.com

No. The Exclusive Drive service is only from an address to the airport and from the airport to an address. It does not include any service within the airport and TK does not have a VIP buggy, shuttle service within the terminal in outstations for Business Class. If you are seeking a VIP experience within the terminal, you would need to contact the airport operating company and you would need to pay it from your pocket. TK does not have any service like that, even in Istanbul.

Thank you very much for all the Info ISTFlyer ! I'm just trying to avoid crowds as much as I can on this trip and stop in IST.

Cheers

I can't speak about AMM and YYZ but if you would like a private gate to gate escort service with a buggy and dedicated security lane service at IST. You could check the Meet&Greet service of iGA Pass. It's €180 per person per direction.

IMO, it's not worth it for the high price, but if you would like the additional peace of comfort, you're welcome to book it.

If am traveling an additional miles 10 miles (i am 45 miles away from the airport) how much more are they are going to charge (USA based).

?
