After a delayed flight, missed connection and two flight changes, one couple decided to take a nearly $600 Uber ride from St. Louis to Omaha.Three extra hours in Hawaii with a view around Christmas doesn't sound like the worst thing. But for John Kinney and his wife, it was the start of a long trek home.
And once they got to Vegas late, their plane was gone and there were too many winter storms to drive a rental car,"We started to look at rental cars in St. Louis and there's nothing to rent," Kinney said."I think there was some 24 and 36 foot trucks that we could have rented. But that felt like really expensive and ridiculous," he said.
"My wife casually joked with the Uber driver how it would be kind of funny if you could drive us to Omaha in the morning, and there was a pause and then the Uber driver said, 'Yeah, I'll do that," Kinney recalled."It would be 1.5 cents a mile, which when we started doing the calculations right away, ended up being a pretty reasonable figure," Kinney said.
