If you do opt for taking an Uber to or from the airport, consider the following tips:
Know your terminals and signs

Leave plenty of time before your flight
As with a taxi, your Uber will only know about your trip once it's been requested and the driver may even need to finish a job before coming to get you. It's recommended that you leave a little more time to accommodate for your ride being processed.
