In addition, the company announces new Uber Reserve features. “With our new Flight Capture feature, riders can easily enter their flight details for a recommended best time to leave to help ensure a timely and stress-free airport arrival,” the company said. “Our flight-tracking capability will alert riders if their flight gets delayed, and we’ll ask them whether they want to adjust their airport drop off accordingly. Plus, riders can now add multiple stops when reserving a ride, perfect for picking up family, dropping off gifts, or making quick detours during the holiday rush.”
