UBER

Uber picks up passengers outside of Level 1 Baggage Claim on the middle curb. You should exit Doors 9-11, cross the walkway to the middle curb, and join the queue. How it works: 1. Request an UberX trip to receive a 6-digit personal identification number (PIN). 2. Walk to the Uber pickup zone, and join the line. 3. Share your unique PIN with the first available driver. 4. Verify vehicle and driver details before you get into the vehicle. For non-Uber X requests, request when you have your bags and are ready to go. You will meet your driver on the middle curb outside of Baggage Claim at Zone 3. Verify vehicle and driver details before you get into the vehicle.
