How to change your destination on Uber during a ride

Say you're riding in an Uber to meet a date at that hot new Thai restaurant in Midtown when instead you suddenly decide to break up with them and hop on a plane to Portugal. Before you get to Lisbon, you'll need to get to the airport, which means changing the destination of your Uber trip. 

Uber makes it easy for passengers (or drivers) to change the destination of a trip at any time before the trip has ended, with multi-destination shared pool rides being the only exception. Those you'll have to ride out or bail on early.

Here's how to change your Uber destination during a ride.
