5 Best travel apps.

1-Tripit

We created TripIt in October of 2006. It was back in the day when online travel booking was still pretty novel. As travelers took planning into their own hands, their hands got pretty full, and their lives got pretty frantic. TripIt set out to change all that. To bring calm to the chaos. Peace of mind to the panic. 

We made it automagical, so all you have to do is forward an email to get an itinerary.

We made it accessible, so you can see all your travel plans in one place, on any device.

We made it agnostic, so you can book your travel wherever you please.

We made it free, because the best things in life usually are.

This clever little app turns your smartphone into a pocket-sized PA. Just forward all your flight, hotel and car rental reservations to Tripit and it creates a digital itinerary for your trip that you can print out for yourself or share. A must download for business travellers.

2-FlightTrack

     

Follow the flight paths of thousands of international flights on a fully zoomable map with this app. It gives information on delays, cancellations and even airport departure gates. Useful if you’re waiting for the arrival of a loved one, or running a little late for your flight.  

          

Arrival and Departure boards for all airports (2400+). 

The only app to provide info on Food/Restaurants, Parking, Ground Transportation, terminal maps, directions for every airport. 

Check-in, flight status, baggage, seats, for your flight all at your fingertips. 

Comprehensive information for every airport in the world. Live arrival and departure boards direct from every airport displayed on your iPad. Terminal maps, food and restaurants, parking, ground transportation and more. The app takes you to the airports site to see restaurants, shops and Wifi. Airport Pro lets you know if your flights delayed or cancelled and gives you the tools needed to quickly find an alternate flight and rebook all in one place.

3-Around Me

Around Me quickly identifies your position and allows you to choose the nearest Bank, Bar, Gas Station, Hospital, Hotel, Movie Theatre, Restaurant, Supermarket, Theatre and Taxi.

Around Me shows you a complete list of all the businesses in the category you have tapped on along with the distance from where you are.

Going to a country far from home can sometimes be a disorientating experience. Where’s the best place to stay? How far is the nearest shop? Where can I go for dinner? This app answers those questions, and more. It detects your location and shows you how to find nearby points of interest.
