Lyft announced a new feature Thursday that will allow riders to request a trip when they land at the airport.
  • Lyft says riders can now pre-order a ride as soon as they land at an airport.
  • The feature is available at major airports, including California's LAX and Chicago's O'Hare.
  • The new feature comes as the ride-hailing app is trying to up its game to compete with Uber.

For travelers that dread waiting and waiting to get picked up from the airport, Lyft says it has an answer: a new feature that lets travelers request a ride as soon as their flight lands.

The announcement comes as Lyft struggles to compete with rival Uber. Lyft's stock price is down more than 55% over the past year, compared to Uber, which has seen an almost 67% increase in its stock price over the same time frame.
