With Summer in full swing, and a record number of Americans taking to the skies for their long awaited vacations, we’re rolling out a series of new products, features, and partnerships that will help you more easily plan for – and save on – your summer travels to Paris and beyond. 

With millions of tourists expected to visit Paris this summer, these updates are meant to take the guesswork out of your travel so you can spend less time stressing and more time exploring!  

Here’s what to expect: 

Now you can know before you go

We all know what it’s like when you’re heading to a new city, and are unsure if Uber will be available or how much a ride might cost. No need to worry! Starting today, we’re beginning to roll out a feature that will let riders search and explore Uber offerings in 10,000+ cities throughout the world, including the French capital city. And with this new feature, riders will now be able to see insights into the average wait time and cost of a ride from all local airports and within a given city. Plus, you’ll have the option to reserve rides for upcoming trips. Just tap “where to?” and select “search in a different city” to get started.

Uber takes flight with Flying Blue

Flying Blue, the loyalty program of Air France-KLM Group, and Uber are launching a new multi-year partnership to allow Flying Blue members to earn Miles when using Uber throughout France and the Netherlands. The best part – local residents and visitors alike – are eligible to earn 1 Flying Blue Mile for every €1 spent on Uber rides, rising to 2 miles for every €1 spent for Uber customers who take four or more trips each month. Riders can then use their Flying Blue Miles to reserve or upgrade flights, book hotel rooms, shop with participating brands, and more. Link your account in Settings to start earning miles on Uber rides. 

Champagne dreams with Uber Bubbles

In May, we announced Uber Bubbles – the first ever champagne tour bookable directly in the Uber app and the perfect day trip from Paris. In partnership with champagne houses Perrier-Jouët and G.H. Mumm, Uber Bubbles puts the heart of France’s champagne region at your fingertips. In response to overwhelming demand, we’re releasing additional Uber Bubbles reservations, now available for booking for the remainder of the summer on Mondays and Wednesdays, in addition to the previously announced Fridays and Saturdays. This all-inclusive experience costs €200, and features a private car, two tastings and lunch.

Experience Paris with Uber Cruise

As millions of people around the world pack their bags for Europe, our expanded Uber Boat offerings are helping tourists go anywhere by boat. Now in Paris, customers can book a private cruise on the river Seine for free. In partnership with Click&Boat, Europe’s leading boat rental company, passengers can pre-book an Uber Cruise through the Uber app, to board a fully electric boat with a skipper and enjoy stunning views of some of the most beautiful monuments of Paris. The one hour cruise (did we mention it’s free!) is available between 3pm-10pm, departing every 20 minutes from Pont Marie, Central Paris, and will be offered every day from July 12-18 and again from July 28-August 3.

This summer is sure to be exciting, and we look forward to welcoming you to Paris 🇫🇷.
