A recent survey by Uber has found that early morning flights and finding taxis to and from the airport are the top two stressors for air travelers.

The survey found that 36 percent of respondents said that the most stressful part of planning an air trip is the early morning flights. Another 32 percent said that finding a taxi to the airport can be difficult and stressful.

Other top stressors for air travelers include:

– long queues and waiting inside the airport (28 percent)
– being stuck in the middle seat (26 percent).

The survey also found that 53 percent of respondents said that being able to book a taxi in advance would give them a sense of security.

In response to the survey findings, Uber has launched a new service called Uber Reserve, which allows users to book a ride up to 90 days in advance.

“This can be a lifesaver for travelers who need to get to the airport early or who are flying to a destination with limited transportation options,” a company announcement said.

According to Uber, the Uber Reserve product has been well-received by users. In a recent survey, 63 percent of riders said that they had used the service for business or medical appointments, while 16 percent said they had used it for travel to or from the airport. Uber Reserve is also available in more remote areas and at times when there are not many taxis available.
