Following a successful debut at LaGuardia Airport, Uber Shuttle is expanding its reach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. Starting today, travelers flying in and out of JFK can now book a seat on the new 14-passenger shuttle service, offering a convenient and affordable way to get to and from the airport.

Riders can reserve up to four seats, with booking options available as early as seven days in advance or as quickly as two minutes before departure. Payments are processed directly through the Uber app, and passengers can track their shuttle in real time for added convenience. Once the shuttle arrives, travelers simply present their QR-code ticket and unique PIN to the driver before hopping aboard.

Mountains, black sand, and auroras await on this top European road trip

This Icelandic landscape was just ranked Europe's top drive

Iceland

Thinking about a European road trip? You might want to look beyond the usual suspects like the French Riviera or the Amalfi Coast. According to a new study by Saga Car Insurance, which analyzed over 73,000 Reddit comments, the top road trip destination in Europe isn’t on the mainland at all, it’s tucked away in eastern Iceland.

The Stokksnes Peninsula claimed the number one spot thanks to its mix of black sand beaches, waterfalls, mountains, and prime Northern Lights viewing. This dramatic landscape, about six hours from Reykjavík and just ten minutes off Iceland’s famed Ring Road, is home to some of the most stunning natural sights on the continent.

This country is the top spot for disconnecting from digital life

Looking to unplug?

India

In a world where constant connectivity can feel overwhelming, some countries offer the perfect escape to slow down and truly disconnect. MyCross recently analyzed around 40 countries based on factors like wellness retreats, internet usage and speed, safety, national parks, population density, and walkability to identify the best places for a slower-paced lifestyle. Topping the list is India, scoring a perfect 100.

India stands out for its staggering 360 wellness retreats, including renowned destinations like Six Senses Fort Barwara and Kerala’s Ayurvedic resorts. Despite its high population density, India’s digital saturation remains relatively low, with only 56% of people using the internet and average speeds of 66 Mbps, making it easier to unplug and focus inward.
