Travel Apps for Your Next Trip

SKYSCANNER

Find cheap flights fast! With Skyscanner, you can search for a trip based on your specific preferences and needs including travel times, preferred airports, number of stops and more. Set a price alert and Skyscanner will email you when the price of your trip changes so you can book at the optimal time! What sets Skyscanner apart? The user-friendly app compiles all airlines, including those usually excluded from other flight searches.

WHATSAPP

No matter your service provider or roaming restrictions, WhatsApp helps you keep up with everyone from fellow travelers to your parents back home. The app allows you to call and text on WiFi, saving you hefty data and roaming charges.

MYTSA

It’s not the most glamorous-looking app in the world, but MyTSA — the official app of the Transportation Security Administration — can save you from some anxious moments getting to your flight. MyTSA’s star feature is the ability to check wait times at security checkpoints at key airports.

GOOGLE TRIPS

Google Trips turns your smartphone into an all-in-one travel assistant, consolidating travel itineraries and reservations from your emails into automatically sorted trips. In addition to logistics, Google Trips also provides recommendations, suggested day plans, and related local sights and attractions based on your tastes, interests and local travel tips.

GOOGLE MAPS

There are a ton of GPS options out there, but for travel, we prefer Google Maps. The app allows you to download an area and turn your location on without using data (which is especially helpful if you are traveling abroad!) Plus, the app is set up to seamlessly provide directions whether you are walking, driving or taking public transportation.

HOPPER

Hopper allows you to take trip planning to the next level. The app uses predictive algorithms and historical data to forecast when prices to your destination will be the lowest, when they’re likely to change and the best time to buy a ticket for a particular date.

FLIO

If you are traveling by air, FLIO is a mustdownload app to help navigate crowded, confusing, hectic airports across the globe. FLIO provides you with airport maps, shuttle information, a boarding pass scanner, a flight tracker and details on everything from parking to lounges – all in your pocket.
