Bangkok--20 Aug--Total Quality PR Etihad Airways, The National Airline of the United Arab Emirates, which operates highly popular twice daily flights from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi and onwards to 45 destinations around the globe, is expanding its luxury chauffeur service and introducing Etihad Chauffeur for Pearl Business class guests travelling to and from Suvarnabhumi International Airport from 15 August, 2007 onwards. All premium classes’ guests travelling within a 60 kilometre radius of Suvarnabhumi International Airport can now access the complimentary luxury chauffeur service, which has also been established in London (Heathrow), Manchester, New York, Munich, and Paris, as well as all major locations in the United Arab Emirates. It will also be introduced to other key destinations across Etihad’s fast expanding global network during the coming year. Florian Preuss, Etihads’ Manager Thailand and Mekong Region, said: “Etihad has established a reputation for providing the very highest standards of hospitality and Etihad Chauffeur is a further example of our outstanding service quality. “We understand that the ground experience is often just as important as time in the air, with travelling time to and from airports often leaving guests feeling pressured, something the chauffeur service totally removes.” Premium Guests flying on either of Etihad’s daily flights from Abu Dhabi into Suvarnabhumi International Airport will be met by an Etihad’s dedicated representative with their names displayed on name boards in the arrivals hall after clearing customs and escorted to their limousine, ensuring little time is wasted at the airport. In addition, for those Premium Guests departing from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the limousine will pick them up at their preferred location within a 60 kilometre radius of the airport, and take them to Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Pearl Business Guests are chauffeured in Mercedes Benz E Class series limousines including beverage and newspaper served on board. Booking must be made and confirmed 24 hours prior to service requirement.
