My favorite apps for travel are diverse! They range from helping with flight info, foreign currency and languages, to TSA info and keeping in touch with friends and family. Last month I went over my favorite apps for staying in touch while traveling, so this month I’ll share a few of my favorite general apps for travel. Personally, I have over 30 travel related apps on my phone, but I doubt you really want to hear about them all!
AIRLINE APPS
I always recommend downloading the app for the airline you are traveling! You will have up to the minute info on delays, schedule changes, the ability to check in for your flight, and more. All of the airlines have free apps in your app store. Don’t leave home without them!
MyTSA
This app allows you to monitor security check point line wait times and airport delays. You can also post wait times to help other travelers! The app also has a “Can I bring?” section where you can type in a question and get a response. The app is full information that will help make your travels and security screening process smooth! They have a packing section, dress smart section,
TSA Pre√, and more.
Packing Pro
This is an amazing must have travel app for people that are obsessed with their packing! You can create lists or use templates they have already created; they also have sample packing lists for your reference. You can import / export lists, share lists among devices, print your lists, email your lists, and much more. This is a quick, simple, reliable and completely customizable packing app.
Google Translate
Google translate is a great feature for both desk top computers and as an app on your smartphone. I love this app, and guess what – it’s free! Google Translate will translate around 103 languages by typing! Can you even name 103 languages? I’m not sure I can! You can speak, type, write, or use your camera to take pictures and the app will respond in the target language! One of my favorite features is it will translate 52 languages offline when you have no internet!
Xe Currency
I use Xe Currency on my desktop all of the time checking for currency exchange rates; now I have it as an app too. This is a great tool for travel, both before you leave and during travel. Since currency rates can change daily, this is an excellent option for having the most up to date exchange rates. With the XE Currency App, you can access live exchange rates, view historical charts, and calculate prices on your smartphone or tablet. This is a free app and available on a variety of platforms.
Cruise Planners Mobile App – My Trips (of course I have saved the best for last!)
This app is designed by Cruise Planners exclusively for our clients!
MyTrips is a great option from my website (www.cruisevacationsandmore.com ) or as Cruise Planners Mobile, a mobile app from your app store. It provides you access to your vacation information and allows you to book right from the website or app. It’s an innovative way to have me with you all of the time! You can find a cruise, book your insurance, shore excursions, keep up with some of my social media, share your vacation plans with others and more. Once you have your vacation booked with me, I’ll send you your MyTrips log-in information and you’ll be able to access all sorts of information about your vacation.
I hope you find these apps useful in your travels! What are some of your favorite apps? Reach out and let me know! I always love hearing from you!
Happy Travels,
