I'm flying Dubai to Birmingham, Business Class on an emirates flight (Tagged EK) booked as a Partner Classic Award through Qantas. Am I eligible for a pickup, even though booked through qantas?
I have just flown business class with emirates back from the UK using my Qantas frequent flyers and I got chauffeur drive. If you go into your booking it should come up as an option.
I concur with Sim 1, you will be eligible for chauffeur drive, I too just travelled business on a QF flight on a Classic award flight to New York and received the chauffeur drive, and also on return flight on the Emirates flight on Classic award. I too was under the presumption that it was only for paid fares and was pleasantly surprised to be able to book the transfers.

My understanding is that EK Chauffeur service is only available on paid fares - not on award seats.

I also flew on Emirates in Business on an award seat and got the chauffer drive so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks AusFlyer,
I just saw that my flight went from 'confirmed', to ticketed, and driver option opened up!
777 300 ER on Emirates is 2-3-2 in Business - what made them think a middle seat is good????

They can squeeze in more premium passengers.
