Conquering the Concrete Jungle: A Lyft Guide for Denver Airport Escapees
So, you've touched down in the Mile High City, but are itching to ditch the Denver International Airport (affectionately nicknamed DIA... mostly by locals) and hit the town. Fear not, weary traveler, for a magical chariot (well, a car with a fuzzy pink mustache on the app) awaits! Today, we embark on a glorious quest: Hailing a Lyft at DIA.
How To Get Lyft At Denver Airport |
Here Be Dragons (Except They're Ride-Sharing Apps)
First things first, download the Lyft app if you haven't already. It's like having a tiny travel genie in your pocket, except way less likely to judge you for requesting a ride at 3 am for that questionable late-night burrito run (hey, no judgement here!).
The Great ??????? (Wa ??????) – The Dreaded Wait
Now, you might be thinking, "This sounds easy enough," and you'd be mostly right, champion. However, there's a mythical beast lurking at DIA: The Wait. Depending on demand, you might find yourself waiting a while for your chariot to arrive. But fret not, adventurer! Here's how to slay the Wait:
- Be a Scheduling Sherlock: If you know exactly when you'll be landing, consider scheduling your Lyft ride in advance. This way, your knight in a shining Prius will be waiting for you when you emerge, blinking, from baggage claim.
- Patience is a Virtue (Especially with Good Wi-Fi): Download a game, browse the internet (DIA actually has decent Wi-Fi), or strike up a conversation with a fellow traveler about their epic fail of accidentally packing their swimsuit in their checked luggage (it happens to the best of us).
The Triumphant Ride: Victory is at Hand!
Huzzah! Your Lyft has arrived! Important Note: Head to Level 5, Island 5 (don't worry, the app will show you the way) to meet your driver. Double-check the license plate, car make and model, and driver name in the app before hopping in. Safety first, friends!
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Pro-Tip: Feeling generous? A little tip for your driver goes a long way, especially after they heroically navigate the Denver maze you call rush hour.
