Uber isn’t done with surprises and the latest to follow UberChoma, UberKatogo et cetera is UberAIR. Not an airline but rather a new offer to have Uber Customers win themselves a trip from Kampala to Jinja this weekend through the skies.
At least we know there is a Nyege Nyege Festival around the shores of Lake Victoria in Jinja, and it is high time Uber pulled off a surprise for the event. This is us guessing as we are used to surprises coming in terms of food delivery.
How to win the UberAIR trip
Step 1: Log into the Uber app between 10AM – 12PM on Saturday 8th 2018.
Step 2: Tap on the UberAIR banner at the bottom of the screen
Step 3: Enter your pickup point in the “Where To” field
Step 4: Tap on “Confirm UberAIR”
Once the request is successful, an UberX will pick you up from your confirmed pickup point upto the Kajjansi Airfield where the UberAIR will airlift you to Jinja.
And incase you miss out on the flight, Uber will offer UberX trips to Jinja as well but they caution that you first agree to the estimated fees before you confirm your trip.
