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.
