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.
