FB fam- rookie here so need help. For past 3 weeks, I have waited a good 30mins or so on Uber after landing in LGA. What am I doing wrong?

U can have the uber come at departure gate instead of arrival. Laguardia arrivals always 15-20 minutes behind. I always go in and out quickly against the norm.

What you're doing wrong is using uber

^^ words of wisdom. Second that

Ey2, I'm gonna try that next time

Are you landing at terminal B? If so, go to the taxi line in front of the Delta baggage claims, not the United ones. That taxi line is significantly shorter.

take the cab, they are always fastest at an airport because there is a dedicated line

Thanks guys. I try to request as soon as I land but it takes a while to "request". It seems uber takes long to spot a driver due to volume.

Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
