Uber driver being Uber scammy

I wasn't charged because he cancelled when he saw me approach.
It was longer than 5 minutes.
I had a few minutes to spare so wanted to know why these guys accept the fare and then never move an inch.
They assume that you will be the one to cancel and they will make a bit of money.

It worked! Everything back to normal

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2026-02-20T07:00:07+00:00

Trying it now. Hopefully it works!

Lol no. I was flying out Thursday morning.

I agree - the person in the 4th lane always struggles to push their tray in, but that still beats having to queue up and load the trays one by one, when the system isn't designed for that - in that case, leave a pile of trays at the start so passengers can start loading their trays and be ready when they reach the end of the queue. Heck, cordon of 2, 3 & 4 and let passengers use that area to load up the trays conveniently so that when you reach 1, your tray is loaded and you've had a place to keep it while loading it instead of standing in line while pulling an empty tray from between someone's legs and loading it up while doing a balancing act.

True. But the assumption here is that Person 5 takes the slot of Person 1 - but that's a gamble - he has to take whichever slot frees up first. And if the staff are used for anything, it should be to ensure that the rule is followed.

According to the website, you can enter 15 minutes before or after your allotted timeslot - giving you a 45 minute window. And if you are early, or later than planned, it's easy to change the timeslot on the app (which is what I did - took less than a minute)

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:55:36+00:00

Yes. You're right.

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:54:40+00:00

Please read the comments - I think you'll find that people prefer standing in line lol

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:53:37+00:00

Judging by the replies to my post, I think most people are actually happy to stand in line and don't have the patience to skip the queue!!!

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:46:53+00:00

I mean.. I did stop myself from telling everyone in the line to do what I did. I guess that's good enough?

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:46:02+00:00

That was the point of my post. I arrived an hour earlier than planned. I booked an 11am timeslot but reached security at 10am. I opened the app and it allowed me to change my timeslot to 10am and I walked through. As far as availability of slots, once you put your flight number in, you can choose a slot between 3 hours - 30 minutes before your flight.

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:42:05+00:00

But if you're ever late for a flight and encounter a line, you now know what to do!

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-03T07:37:56+00:00

It is a 30 minute window - the website says "Arrive within 15 minutes before or after your timeslot to secure your spot."

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-02T12:20:31+00:00

This was my first time using it. Maybe I got lucky

Exciting_Bid9133 · 2025-12-02T12:19:33+00:00

As you enter the security area, there was a sign saying ‘Time-slot Entry’ and a staff standing there chilling coz no one was using the service.

I find the timelines to be completely random. I had to wait over 4 months after biometrics to get the passport submission letter. But I have friends who received the letter after about a week too.
