Thanksgiving Travel: NYC Tops the Charts for Most Expensive Airport Rides Be prepared for rideshares to gobble up your wallet this thanksgiving. Utilizing Obi’s extensive rideshare data and analyzing rides over Thanksgiving 2023, we have produced an exclusive ranking of the most expensive airport rides. New York’s JFK airport took the top step as the most expensive airport ride at $75, beating out Newark airport. Newark was top in 2022 at $79, but decreased in 2023 to $63, making it the second most expensive US airport ride. New York airports continue to be both first and second in the ranking of most expensive Thanksgiving airport rides in 2023 and 2022. The full ranking for Thanksgiving 2023 most expensive airport rides: 1st and most expensive – New York JFK – average Uber and Lyft cost $75 2nd – Newark, average Uber and Lyft cost $64 3rd – Denver, average Uber and Lyft cost $62 4th – Chicago O’Hare, average Uber and Lyft cost $51 5th – Los Angeles, average Uber and Lyft cost $50 6th – Atlanta, average Uber and Lyft cost $49 7th – Dallas Fort Worth, average Uber and Lyft cost $44 8th – San Francisco, average Uber and Lyft cost $44 9th – Las Vegas, average Uber and Lyft cost $29 Between Thanksgiving 2022 and 2023, five airports from Obi’s ranking saw average Uber and Lyft prices fall, while three airports saw average price increases. New York’s JFK remained unchanged and now the most expensive at $75. Las Vegas saw the highest percentage increase at 32% but still remains the cheapest (given its airport’s relative proximity to the casinos). Newark airport saw the highest price decrease at 20%.

A Bloomberg News investigation uncovering driver lockouts in New York City was powered by Obi's Intelligent Pricing API. After Bloomberg requested access to Obi's Intelligent Pricing API, Obi and Bloomberg collaborated over several months, supplying hundreds of thousands of data points for the article. Analysis of this surge data enabled Bloomberg to report that drivers were being locked out of surge zones, driving the cost of pricing up for consumers by reducing driver supply in the market. With the help of Obi’s data, Bloomberg was able to conclude: “by making drivers seem busier on paper, the companies set themselves up to save as much as hundreds of millions of dollars in driver payouts, according to Bloomberg estimates — all while telling the drivers, falsely, that the lockouts were required because of the law.” Read our blog piece to learn more on how Obi's unique ride data helped uncover this breaking story. https://lnkd.in/eyW_FPGZ
