In Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle, you won’t be dropped off or picked up at the curb. If you plan to leave the airport and hope to catch an Uber, you’ll need to head over to the rental car area. In Austin, TX, you will be dropped off curbside when you arrive for your flight. LAX joins a growing list of airports that have already made similar changes to help with traffic congestion issues.
LAX says the changes are being made in hopes of cutting down on the number of cars, shuttles and people trying to get through the airport’s roads and terminals. LAX responded saying it expects passengers to be out of the airport in about 30 minutes of leaving the terminal. Uber sent a letter to LAX warning that the change could cause travelers to wait in long lines for rides.
From there you’ll need to find your driver. The shuttle will take you to a designated pick-up area at the airport. Starting October 29, you’ll have to catch an LAX shuttle to get to a taxi, Uber or Lyft. A taxi or rideshare driver is no longer allowed to pick you up at the curb if you fly into the airport. Los Angeles International Airport is the latest airport to implement changes. The changes won’t impact you getting to or from Kansas City International Airport right now, but may when the new terminal opens in 2023. Along with larger crowds you may also lose the convenience of curbside drop off and pickup if you rely on taxis or ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft. Just in time for holiday travel, some airports are making it a little less convenient to travel. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.
