The thought of planning and packing for a trip may be the least fun part of a trip. However, choosing a destination and finally reaching it makes it worthwhile. We have put together a list of travel apps to take the headache out of travelling to your next holiday destination or weekend getaway with ease.
TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor can have many of your travel questions sorted. The app comes with features such as offering you a list of vacation rentals, hotels, popular destinations and weekend destinations to explore. You can find a list of things to do at a location you are visiting, rentals and even vacation packages that can help you save. Take time to read reviews or be a part of their travel forum to find out if a place is worth visiting.
Waze
Waze has been around for quite some time, and if you don't have it as part of your travelling tools list, it is time to do so. The app offers real-time updates that can help you navigate your route better by helping you avoid traffic jams and constructions that can delay you.
The Entertainer
Who doesn't love a good deal, especially when it comes to saving on entertainment costs? The app offers monthly discounts on various attractions, leisure activities, travel, food and drinks to make each excursion value for money at venues across the country and globally. You can also sign up for notifications on 2-for-1 deals for your next trip.
TripIt
Juggling more than one booking or going with multiple people? TripIt is an app that can help you declutter your itineraries and travel documents by keeping them organised in one place. Booking a flight, accommodation or a bus shuttle will automatically be listed on TripIt so that you don't have to go through your emails to find it. The app also offers a safety feature where you can share your trip details with a loved one or your travelling partner.
AirBnB & Booking.com
The hospitality industry has made it easier for people to find affordable accommodation and travel discounts in the form of AirBnB, Booking.com and Trivago to give you one less thing to worry about when it comes to finding an ideal home away from home. The star rating from people who have stayed there can also help you make an informed decision of which places are the best and match your holiday budget. Always make sure to read the terms and conditions on cancellations to avoid any frustrations or disappointments.
