You’ve just landed in a new country, you don’t speak the language, and now you need to find your way to your accommodation. The mere thought of this scenario can make some people turn cold. 

For whatever reason, airports are difficult to navigate. With their various entrances and different levels, it can be challenging to find a bathroom, let alone an Uber. 

The ride-hailing service was most likely familiar with the stress as they have now implemented measures to make the process smoother.

Uber has introduced directions for pickup spots at more than 30 airports worldwide. The instructions will feature written directions, as well as photos. There will also be walking estimates so travelers can plan how long in advance to order their ride. 

“We want every Uber experience to feel effortless. With travel roaring back, we’ve been innovating on ways to redesign your airport experience from beginning to end so that you’re not just getting to and from the airport, but also getting through it with less stress,” said Jen You, who works as the head of product for rides at Uber. “Our new series of products and features will help you plan for your upcoming trips and make your airport travel smoother than ever.”

Some of the airports that are already included in the direction line-up include New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Walking ETAs will soon be available in more than 400 airports.

If you’re looking for us, we’ll be in Finland riding a reindeer-pulled sleigh. 

As amusing as it sounds, that’s exactly what can be done in the Nordic country this festive season, all thanks to Uber. Instead of ordering a car or van, users can request a sleigh straight out of a Christmas fairy tale that will take them to Santa’s hometown!

“At Uber, we’re always looking at ways to bring a little magic to every trip, and with just the tap of a button you could be on a once-in-a-lifetime tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth,” said Anabel Diaz, vice president and general manager of EMEA Mobility at Uber. “We’re delighted to bring Christmas dreams to life with the launch of Uber Sleigh in Lapland.”

The unique Uber Sleigh experience is free, but works on a first-come, first-served basis so best be quick when booking. Those who are interested in taking the joy ride will be able to choose between going at 10AM or 2PM between December 12 and 18.

The 2-hour journey will venture through snow-covered forests to Rovaniemi which has been declared as Santa’s official hometown. And don’t worry—each sleigh ride includes a blanket!

Trust us, we get it, you’re itching to get out. But as we begin to test the waters, or rather, poke our heads out the door, staying safe and healthy is of the utmost importance. With car travel quickly becoming a preferred mode of transportation during the pandemic, here is a simple guideline to ensure you travel safely when hailing an Uber:

1. Wear a face mask

Face masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 – as simple as that. And with Uber maintaining a “No Mask, No Ride” policy it goes without saying that covering your mouth and nose is mandatory. In addition, riders have grounds to cancel a trip if their Uber driver isn’t wearing a mask.

2. Wash your hands, than wash again

Wash your hands with liquid soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to disinfect your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

3. Keep your distance

Sit in the back seat to maintain distance and open window if possible in order to increase ventilation.

Finally, stay home if you can. And stay safe!
