From organizing all details like flight times, rental cars, and itineraries, planning a trip can be overwhelming. Well, thanks to technology, there are apps to make the planning process a little more bearable.
Here are the best travel apps to help you plan that much-needed vay-k.
TripIt
Standing as a go-to for many, this free trip planner app is so handy when it comes to time to hash out the details of your trip. iPhone and Android users alike can organize trip details in one place. All you have to do is book your trip and the app handles the rest! Plus, the app can search for alternative flights, send real-time alerts, and help you snag the best seats on the plane.
TripAdvisor
If you have a dream destination in mind but you have no clue where to go, what to do, or how to get there, then TripAdvisor has you covered. Type in where you want to go, and the app will organize hotel suggestions, flight options, and tourist attractions. It stores all of this information so you can easily reference it anytime. It’s also a great source of hotel and destination reviews and ratings, as well as tips and tricks from experts, business travelers, and enthusiasts.
Roadtrippers
If you like traveling by car, this app is for you. Roadtrippers helps you plan your route so you find cool restaurants, tourist attractions, and one-of-a-kind spots, all while offering hotel suggestions along the way. It’s available on both Android and iOS devices.
Guides by Lonely Planet
They say the best way to experience a city is with the help of locals, and Lonely Planet allows you to do just that. You can download a guide to your city of choice ahead of time so you can access it even when you’re offline. It offers maps, audio phrasebooks, a currency converter, and advice from tour guides in the city.
Skiplagged
This app acts as an airfare search engine for cheap flights. The flights are so cheap that the company was sued by United Airlines (don’t worry, Skiplagged won). It searches hidden-city ticketing trips and calculates the prices on other ticketing websites like Expedia, KAYAK, and Travelocity to help you save up to 80 percent off flights.
