Tap your way to a smooth journey
AIRBNB
This is one app that has changed everything about
travelling. For a start, the fact that a lot of us can travel. Why? Because it
has made travel affordable. It has made the way we stay — while travelling —
fit into a nice little budget that we can decide for ourselves. From homes,
apartments, villas to beds, the app has options for all your needs. Just browse
through its amazing inventory and choose the place of stay. It has also started
offering local experiences such as market tours, food tasting, dine out
options, riding activities and cooking classes that let you explore your dream
destination, completely depending on your tastes and preferences.
LOUNGEBUDDY
Just enter your flight details, any memberships you
may have, and the credit cards you use, and LoungeBuddy tells you which airport
lounge you can access for free or by paying a fee. It has data for over 900
airports across the world. You can also browse through pics of airport lounges
to decide if a lounge is worth paying for or if a free lounge has the amenities
you are looking for.
HOSTEL WORLD
This is an awesome tool for backpackers. Just like
any hotel booking site, this app pulls out info about hostels in the city you
are planning to visit on dates of your choice. Browse through millions of
reviews to know if the hostel you plan to choose is safe and dependable.
SPLITTR
Travelling in a group and working out individual
costs becomes a problem. Let Splittr do the math for you. Invite friends
travelling with you to join. Each one of you can add expenses from your device.
This app forms a PDF file and sends each member a copy detailing his/her
contribution. You can also split expenses unevenly if some people spend more or
if someone decides to hog more than the rest. Travelling aside, you can use
Splittr with your roommates or in any group activity.
NAFEX
We seem to get all our travel-related arrangements
sorted and get stuck at currency exchange. Nafex is just the solution you need.
This is a virtual marketplace that connects travellers with registered currency
exchangers anywhere in the world. Enter the amount you wish to buy, or sell,
and it will connect you with currency exchangers in your vicinity. You decide
who is offering the lowest quote and go with that. The best bit – it has a home
delivery option!
WI-FI MAP
Internet is necessary but international roaming and
data plans can put an uneven dent in your pocket. Wi-Fi Map could come to your
rescue. This app shows you locations nearby that offer free Wi-Fi along with
passwords. You can download the maps of the city you are travelling to, and the
app lets you browse even without being connected to the net to reach the
nearest hotspot.
HAPPYCOW
Imagine being in a new city or a country and not
knowing where to look for vegetarian or vegan options! HappyCow is happy to
help. It is an amazing database of vegetarian restaurants and food spots around
the world. Read the reviews and choose which joint best suits your craving.
