I'm trying to do some last minute ORD to KEF/BCN/FCO/ATH the next few weekends before those seasonal routes are finished on United. My only problem is that FCO and ATH leave too early (~3:45 pm) and KEF never seems to have any seats available :(

might be doing Nice at the end of September! flights on AA from PHL are wide open =) either that or somewhere in Asia.

I need to get really creative .. I only have 2 vacation days left this year. 😭

Looking at EDI this month, before we lose the PHL direct.

Hmm i’m trying to find on this reddit but when is the best time to travel to Japan? i’m considering Nov and i’m from the west coast USA

Open the app and check how many vehicles are around you. It’s visible. Do it early in the morning too so you can judge if you want to reserve in advance.

Reserve doesn’t hurt you but it gets a vehicle for sure. I am a driver and if a driver accepts a reserve they normally are on the road an hour or two in advance to get that reserve. Of nobody picks it then it goes into the local pool and assigned to a driver when the time comes. They could still decline but the chances are slim. Always have a backup plan for a local cab company in case it doesn’t come through or somebody to help get you to airport if you are scared you are too rural.

Reserve. Depending on how remote, you may want to have a backup plan in case there aren’t any drivers around.

I would reserve it. I reserve mine 10 min before I need it to be safe too

Reserve. DIA is far as fuck from Denver, and the rest of the world lol and you don’t want to miss your flight.

Reserve

Give yourself an exta 30 minutes just in case but there are plenty of drivers around pretty much 24x7. Lots of drivers start early to get those airport rides

You’ll easily be able to get a ride. Maybe just give yourself an extra half hour just in case it takes longer than expected.

I'm a local professional driver for hire, fully licensed and commercially insured. I can guarantee your pick up time. If you're interested, send me a chat and I can provide you more information and a quote.

Try waking up at that time to check the app and see what it looks like for a few mornings.

When I travel for work, I call an uber around that time and I've never had an issue.

I don’t think you’ll have much of a problem, as you are going to SeaTac and Uber and Lyft drivers swarm SeaTac for opportunities. What you may fall victim to are rate surge hikes, because often fares are more expensive going to or coming from the airport.

There are Uber drivers circling around Bellevue basically 24/7/365, and a lot in Redmond too. 5am is not early. If it was 2 or 3am, then you should stress a little, but 5am is like normal business hours for Uber. Source: former driver.

Use a taxi. They are cheaper from Redmond and always arrive on time. Taxis from Redmond to Seatac have improved in the last 3 years. Good, clean cars and drivers. I always pay $20-$25 less for taxis compared to Uber/Lyft.

I used to do Bellevue to SeaTac early in the morning and never had any issues, drivers expect these riders and want to do a loop through the airport. Remember to sign up for Spot Saver so you can get through security line quickly- it’s free!

Very good. A local taxi service is also a good backup option. There is also a King County MetroFlex shuttle service which may be available in your area.

Yes. Schedule it through the app and you won’t have any issues

How do i remember this when i need to visit Lahore in near future 😂

Is it free or will u charge for it?

If scheduled rides are a priority, especially for the airport, this will be huge for people. I’ve been burned too many times by expecting an uber in the morning only for no one to be available

>we now officially support Airport Rides.

As someone who only uses rideshare for airport trips, this is great news!

Do y'all take pets?

Love it & love your service. Missed you all for a few months!

I live out in the country and someone will always take the scheduled ride. Add a $7, pre tip and you are golden. I did an airport ride at 3am the other day, driver was flawless and the car was brand new.

Scheduled rides give a false sense of security. They really aren't any more reliable than just requesting a ride when you're ready to go.

Maybe try from the airport. The problem drivers have there is, if they're not from the city, they can't do a pickup in Manhattan, and have to deadhead back to NJ. So, maybe at Newark airport, you'll get a NYC-based driver who is fine with taking someone into the city....

This is going to all come down to how much Lyft is actually willing to fork over to the driver for doing it. This is the scary part. 

Don't try to time it too close. You may have to schedule it way early and just find something to do if it actually gets accepted quickly. Most drivers won't accept it or if they do, will cancel once they find out where the ride is going because they can't pick up a ride until they get back to NJ.

I saw a scheduled ride today that had a “pre-tip” of $20. First time I’d seen that, but I’d bet it’d certainly help the ride get picked up and a low chance of cancellation.

Scheduled rides are the best option
