Smartphone Apps for Travelers

Trip-Planning and Management


From booking flights and hotels to managing your itinerary, these apps can help you plan your trip.
Travel Booking

PRICELINE

BOOKING.COM

EXPEDIA'S TRIPASSIST
The above apps allow you to search for flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. 

Airlines

Each airline has its own app; these usually allow you to search for and book flights, check in, and track the status of a flight. While you can do many of these same activities through the airline's website on your phone's browser, the apps are generally faster and more user-friendly.

Itinerary Organizers
TRIP IT

 Apps like TripIt save all your trip details in one convenient place. Forward reservation emails to your TripIt account, and it automatically adds them to your itinerary.

Restaurants and Reviews
Trip ADvisor

 TripAdvisor's app
 gives you access to millions of user reviews of restaurants, hotels, and sights (though TripAdvisor ratings should never be taken as gospel). 
Currency and Conversions

 Take a walking tour or hit a museum? You can better plan your day with the Weather Channel, AccuWeather, and other forecast apps

Translation
With Google Translate,you can type something in a foreign language (or have someone speak clearly into your microphone) for an immediate translation. You can also say or type a sentence in English, and a computer voice actually says the translation (or hold up the screen to show someone the written translated message).
