The latest Uber updates to arrive are designed to help navigate through airports and make the overall travel experience much more streamlined. It is often a hassle to find the way through different terminals to just get to the pickup area for Uber drivers and to tackle that issue, there will be walking directions for the pickup location, ETAs of baggage claim, and more.
Additionally, the Uber Reserve feature will also be more accessible as the company extends the 30-day book ahead to 90 days in advance now, ensuring that planning will be much more streamlined. Reserve will also be available in more North American cities than before. The aforementioned pickup directions are now available for just over 30 airports globally with more to launch in the months to come.
