Mobile Apps Every Experienced
Traveler Should Have
There are many apps out there that you can take advantage of to monitor flight cost, find a cheap hostel, learn a new language, and do quick and accurate currency conversions. Before you take flight, and once you've reached your destination--if Wifi permits or if your lucky enough to have a data access while abroad--use these apps to enhance your experience.
A screenshot of my mobile applications Delonte uses most frequently to prepare for travel and while abroad.
1. Skyscanner
Every savvy traveler should have Skyscanner downloaded! It allows you to select a destination, get a compiled list of airlines with the cheapest airfare, and monitor the progress of the prices.
2. Hopper
This is one of the best apps out there right now! It allows you to select a destination and then Hopper evaluates airline ticket prices to predict price changes and determines the best time to purchase the flight. It also notifies you when prices fluctuate for a selected itinerary.
3. Hipmunk
Another good app to use to search flight prices is Hipmunk. It has a slightly different layout. You can use the bottom navigation tools to compare prices by airline. Be sure to also select fare alerts for when prices increase or drop.
