Today’s travelers are using smartphone apps for everything from displaying airplane boarding passes to hailing ride share transportation. No doubt about it, apps have made traveling more convenient and, often times, less stressful. Well & Good has come up with a list of 24 apps that make travel easier, safer, and more fun. Here’s a round-up of a few of the ones we think are definitely worth downloading:
Airside Mobile Passport – Clearing customs is a breeze when you store your passport on this app. Keep in mind, this is for your government-issued travel passport and is not a vaccine passport.
Skyscanner – This is a popular go-to app for scoring the cheapest flights.
Secret Flying or Travel Pirates – Both of these apps search for errors and great deals. Why not let someone else’s mistake be your gain?
Rome2Rio – This app is great to use when exploring a new city because it gives you the best options for getting around.
MAPS.ME – You’ll never be lost with this app, which works offline so you don’t need to worry if you can’t get a Wi-Fi signal.
Whatsapp – Avoid high cell phone data charges with this easy-to-use app. In many places it’s the best way to keep in touch with friends and family back home.
Google Translate – This app is a necessity when traveling to a country where you don’t speak the language.
