Picture this: A car waiting for you with a smile as soon as you walk out the airport doors, because your driver knew exactly when you'd land and planned accordingly. A car seat is already installed for your 8-month-old, because you requested one before the trip. A charger and water bottle ready so you can recharge your devices — and yourself — on the way to and from your destination. It sounds like a dream, but this was my experience using Blacklane on a recent family trip to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP).
There's a particular kind of pretravel stress that builds before any airport run, but Blacklane's approach is built around making sure every detail is taken care of in advance, from getting bags (and people) loaded into the car on time to the mental load of getting from door to departure without anything going wrong.
Here's what my experience looked like.
