Flights

For the most in-depth flight info, your best bet is to download the app of the airline you’re flying. This will ensure you’re getting the correct information for flight delays, points, etc. Extra tip? Make sure the airline app is updated the night before you fly to ensure you get all the relevant info. Yes, it’s possible you may get a notification that your flight is delayed or canceled from the app itself, but this will also give you an opportunity to book another flight within minutes.

International Travel

Want to save some time from having to wait in customs while flying to another country? Download Mobile Passport to gain Global Entry status. Fill out your info as soon as you land to breeze through customs. This app is officially authorized by U.S. Customs and Borders Protection.

Weather

What’s going through the mind of everyone about to embark on a trip…what’s the weather going to be like? Of course, there are already apps on our phones with weather updates, but if you want to take it to the next level check out the geolocation app Dark Sky, which will give you weather updates on the hour.
