Uber said its in-app flight booking will come with extra offerings including "Price Freeze, Flight Disruption Guarantee, Cancel For Any Reason, Change for Any Reason, and VIP support."

The transfer feature is particularly smart, as the company will adjust your pickup time if your flight is delayed or early, using a flight tracker, and will give you actual directions to the pickup zone itself.
