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.
