One of the best ways to avert unexpected circumstance is to use applications that are available for your phone. If you are an android fan like I am, then here is a list of the best 5 apps for your holiday travel planning:
FlightTrack
FlightTrack is undoubtedly one of the best business travel apps. However, it has a very extensive database with more than 1400 airlines and 3000 airports making it an invaluable app for families that are planning to travel during holidays. It is especially a must have travelling app for people who plan to travel by plane. The app keeps the user up to date with gates, any delays or flight cancellations information. This enables the user to constantly have first hand information every time and catch their plane or even book a different plane if it is required. It also makes it easier for the user to check maps and itinerary offline.
AmTrak
Most people prefer planes as a mode of transportation when going on holidays because flights are easier to keep track of compared to other modes of transportation. However, what if you want to explore the sceneries and natural beauty of the places you are visiting? It is fairly obvious that you cannot do this by plane. The best way to enjoy the gorgeous sceneries of places you are visiting is by using a bus or train. The AmTrack app enables you to enjoy the sceneries and landscapes by providing you with technicalities regarding your planned train/bus trip.
