Airline chauffeur service for premium passengers is something which has become more widespread lately. In some instances I "get it," from the airline's perspective:-- Virgin Atlantic offers it to full fare Upper Class passengers as a quirky perk which differentiates them from the competition; they also offer an onboard bar and spa with hot tub in their lounge.[br]
-- Emirates and Etihad offer it so that neither airline is at a geographical disadvantage. Etihad only flies to Abu Dhabi and Emirates only flies to Dubai, as the cities are only a roughly hour drive apart. This way both airlines can reasonably sell commerce travelers on flying with them, or regardless of whether their final destination is Abu Dhabi,Dubai, or anywhere else in the UAE.
Some other airlines enjoy started offering it over the years, or though I'm not certain I totally get the commerce sense behind it. For airlines that restrict it to full fare customers,surely no one is paying for full fare commerce class because a chauffeur is included. If you can foot the bill for a super-expensive commerce class ticket, you can also pay for a car to/from the airport.The post Asiana Offering Complimentary Chauffeur Service For A Limited Time appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
