Fast Path in Dubai and Chauffeur Drive pick up

[FrustratedQP]

Apologies if this has been covered previously, I had a search but couldn't find anything.

1. When arriving in DBX is there an express path for Qantas First Class Pax?
2. Where does one meet the Chauffer?
3. Both SWMBO and I are travelling, but have a total of 3 bags. Chauffer Drive info on Qantas site, says maximum 2 bags per sedan. Has anybody had experience in organising a larger vehicle or second vehicle in SYD, DBX and/or LHR?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes - normally facing immigration it is to the left.
2. After getting your luggage and clearing customs and entering the main part of the airport - turn right as you exit and the C D centre is right there. Give your boarding pass to the people at the desk and they will give you a ticket to hand over to the valet type guys running the show.
3. No idea - but it is a massive operation at DXB so no problem to ask for a specific vehicle at DXB.

The Dubai immigration is incredibly quick with many auto scan machines for passports. We didn't need our fast pass. The whole airport is very well organised even though it's huge. It seems like you spend more time on the bus than on the plane.

Thanks Burrco and Pushka, anybody had any experience getting two cars or a larger vehicle in LHR for 2 Pax?

There have been a lot of reports of long immigration queues at DXB recently, with the change in timing of QF9 there is a chance that could be an unexpected consequence. Reports indicate it is still a problem. http://www.airlinequality.com/Airports/Airport_forum/dxb.htm

Sure. Our Adelaide flight arrived around 5.30am. The gates were deserted.

Just a quick update. After sending an email to customer service a very nice gentleman (Cameron) contacted me last week and arranged for larger vehicles for SWMBO and I for all of our CD's. The only downside was that I asked for an email confirmation and am yet to receive it.
