Blacklane: Upgrade Your TravelsPress Coverage
How Early Do You Arrive At the Airport?
So how early do you get to the airport for your flight? New data from one global chauffeur service — Blacklane — says a growing number of travelers don’t follow airline and airport advice about when to arrive for your flight.
Why UAE residents are ‘driving force for return of international travel’
Post-pandemic recovery in the UAE is in full-swing as residents head back to the airports.
Following strict Covid-19 lockdowns, the UAE was one of the first countries to re-open for international travel, which has fuelled the recovery of the country’s airlines, airports and related services.
“The UAE was our first market to fully recover to pre-pandemic business, and we’re now far exceeding those levels. UAE residents are a driving force for the return of international travel, and the UAE remains one of the most desired destinations for business and leisure travel,” said Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of global chauffer service Blacklane.
The Hottest New Places To Stay, Dine & Drink In London
Black cabs are the signature mode of transportation lest you want to travel by tube or big red bus (which is fun in theory but…) we recommend a new, on call luxury car service that is seamless, luxurious and easy to use. That would be Blacklane, a service available in 50+ countries and 200+ cities worldwide, offering airport transfers, flat-rate city-to-city rides and on-demand chauffeur hailing in four cities, including London. Health and safety standards mean vehicles are cleaned between each ride, chauffeurs wear masks, and all vehicles have hand sanitizer. You can book scheduled rides one hour to months in advance, at guaranteed, all-inclusive fares. Airport pickups include flight tracking, up to one hour of free waiting time, meet-and-greet, and luggage assistance. Even better, the company has a zero carbon footprint; it’s certified carbon-neutral for offsetting emissions from all rides and business operations since 2017
Climate is changing the site selection calculus
At chauffeur business Blacklane, sustainability has become an increasingly important priority. Since its 2011 launch, the Berlin-headquartered company – which now operates in 50 countries and has garnered a reputation as a high-end version of Uber – was focused on minimising empty return rides, a longstanding problem for chauffeurs. It took things up a notch in 2017 by offsetting carbon emissions and it is now electrifying its fleet: it wants 75% of its rides to be in electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025.
Jens Wohltorf On Raising $100 Million To Bring Peace Of Mind To Travelers
"What we do is we aggregate high-quality content on the one side, making sure that they fit into our high standards, that everything feels and smells like Blacklane no matter where you bought a car. We have highly educated professional chauffeurs. On the other side, we offer it to individual customers, to corporate customers like consulting firms, but also to airlines, cruise lines, hotel chains, and travel agencies. So we’re bringing both together and making sure that the quality is always right. We engage very deeply in the service experience and in every single detail of it. That differentiates us."
