There are two ways to travel around the Upland metaverse. Moving within a city and moving to a new city use different mechanics – sends and travel. Sends are used to transport yourself within the city your block explorer is located in. Sending yourself to a different property is instantaneous and costs less than 125 UPX depending on the city you are in. Travelling is used when you want to move to a different city. This act takes time (a function of distance) as well as more UPX – depending on the means of travel that are required to travel to these cities. If you have a vehicle of you own and you want to drive it between cities, this page details how that is to be done. If you are stuck in the Greater New York area, this page will teach you how to navigate between the cities.
Below are some common travel FAQs
I can't find any sends / I ran out of sends
If you ran out of sends or have less than 3, after 24 hours, Upland will replenish those 3 sends. You are able to hold a maximum of 11 sends at any given time, and you can collect 40 sends in one day. It is ill advised to use your last send without sending yourself to another airplane to collect more sends. This is especially critical during new city releases. Read more about sends here.
I am clicking on a send but I am unable to collect it
If you are using a firefox browser, there is a known bug regarding your ability to collect sends. Try using a different browser or the mobile app.
You already have the maximum number of sends you can collect
Your block explorer is not in range of the airplane. Send yourself to a minted property close to the send in order to collect it.
There are no available spots at a terminal to travel
This can happen prior to new city releases where there is an increased travel demand. These travel spots in terminals reset ever day. If you miss an opportunity to travel, you could wait for the next day, or there might be an additional way to access the terminal. Try sending yourself to a property close by - it might be in range of the terminal. Watch this video to see how its done.
How do I get to or from the New York airport?
In order to get to the NYC airport, you must be in Manhattan. From there, zoom out and click on the airport which is to the east of Brooklyn to send yourself there. If The New York airport was your destination once you disembark, you must send yourself to a property in Manhattan. Watch the YouTube video below.
Secondly, JFK can be reached from Queens. Travel to the train station and choose the bus to JFK.
I am at the airport, but I can't find the city to travel to
Maybe there are no direct flights from your city to your destination. Use the Upland Guide travel bot that will tell you the fastest and cheapest routes between any two cities in Upland.
You arrived at the incorrect terminal - there are both domestic and international terminals at some airports - make sure you travel to the relevant terminal. Yellow terminals are international, and white ones are domestic.
