For most of the people traveling is fun but for some it can be a headache, especially during big holidays.With so many people traveling the country at around the same time, you're faced with packed airports, unforeseen schedule changes, bad weather, and probably more than a few irritable fellow passengers just trying to get home for the holiday.
To keep the stress level at a minimum, I selected some helpful travel apps for iOS that will keep you on schedule and help you navigate your itinerary.
TripIt lets you set up an account, then forward travel confirmation e-mails to a special e-mail address (plans@tripit.com) to make all your vacation information available on your iPhone. Everything from flight times, to hotels, restaurants you want to try, carrentals, and more can be added to your trip card so you know your exact itinerary on your iPhone.
TripIt is more than just a list of information. It takes your vacation plans and uses flight data, mapping data, and more to give you a schedule of events as you enjoy your holiday with family. As an example, when you land at your destination, you can check the weather, get directions to the car rental location, the time it takes to get there, directions to your hotel, and the layout of your hotel. You can add as much or as little information as you want to get each day mapped out with restaurants, places to see, and activities, and all are on an easy-to-follow schedule. As long as you added all the info in advance, you can access it on your iPhone or any other device, even while offline.
You can also sign up for TripIt Pro for $49 per year to get real-time flight alerts, track your seating info, get alerts gate changes, and even offers alternate flights when your trip doesn't go according to plan.
TripIt is a great choice for those who want to map out each day of their trip, with all the info handy whether you're on or offline. It also will make your holiday trips less stressful with a solid schedule you can follow, giving you one less thing to worry about.
