Travelling, despite being supposedly fun and enjoyable, is almost always associated with high levels of stress. This is especially true when we're talking about the Holiday season. Regardless of how prepared you think you may be, there is always the possibility of problems arising, such as flight and hotel reservations, security concerns, or car rental issues.
So with all these being pointed out, you should know that technology can actually be very useful during times like these. There are a number of apps that you can download on your smartphone or tablet that will help ensure you have a smoother Holiday vacation this 2014.
TripIt
You should consider TripIt as an integral part of your travel and vacation plans, as this is definitely one of the services that will make things a lot easier for you. According to CNET, the program is designed to organize all of the information you feed into an easy-to-figure-out itinerary.
You just need to enter important details, such as confirmation numbers and dates into the app. Directions and weather reports are also provided. Best of all, you do not have to pay for anything just to get this app. If you want the version that does not come with ads, you only have to pay 99 cents.
FlightView Free Flight Tracker
Like TripIt, the FlightView Free Flight Tracker can also be downloaded for free, but is also available in an ad-free version for only 99 cents. The app is designed to help users track the status of their flights.
The information is automatically saved for easy access at a later time.
