Travellers can book a trip to or from the Hong Kong International Airport with the Uber app at 30 percent off (capped at HK$70) using the promo code ‘EASTER23’; riders can also enjoy pre-booked rides to and from the Hong Kong International Airport with Uber Reserve – a feature allowing riders to book a ride through the Uber app for up to 30 days in advance. Riders who complete an Uber Reserve ride to or from the Hong Kong International Airport from now until April 30 has a chance to receive up to a maximum of HK$150 discount on their next airport trip and a complimentary limited-edition Travel Amenity Kit (on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last)* – which includes amongst others a traveller sim card – including the ejector pin tool – that keeps you connected after landing and a steam eye mask that helps you stay well-rested during the flight, and more. 

While on the road, take the stress out of trip planning and get to your destinations on time with the new in-app Uber Travel feature. Once you link the Uber app to your Gmail or Microsoft email account, the Uber app will then automatically integrate your confirmed hotel and flight bookings and restaurant reservations in your inbox into a single itinerary view in the Uber app. You will also receive notifications when it's time to book a ride to your next destination.
