Booking flights, packing, and preparing for a trip can sometimes be a hassle for the regular traveler. Luckily, there are a few ways to help make these activities easier.
One of the most challenging aspects of planning trips is trying to find reasonable airfare. It is hard to speculate what is a decent deal and how far in advance to book your flight. Fortunately, there is a startup called Flyr that is aiming to assist with this challenge. It is a data company that offers route and airfare predictions, airfare alerts, and sellout risk in order to help people book flights.
A few other tips for purchasing airplane tickets are that Sundays usually offer the best price of any day of the week, and Tuesday offers the best price of any weekday. Also, looking up flights through Skyscanner ensures you get the cheapest flight available because the website shows the prices for majority of all airlines in the world.
Packing can be another struggle on the path to an amazing voyage. Sometimes what you pack has a significant effect on your comfort and happiness on your trip.
A couple guidelines to create extra space in your luggage are to either roll your clothes instead of folding them. Or if you need a lot of extra space, use air compression bags that push out all of the air and take up only one third of the space. If you do not want to pay for air compression bags, than rolling Ziplock bags should do the trick almost as effectively. Also, using a contact lenses container to hold various cosmetic products such as face wash, hair gel, lotion, sunscreen, etc. can save space and weight in your bag.
Dealing with the airport is occasionally the most unpleasant aspect of traveling. There are certain factors of visiting the airport that are hard to anticipate. But the startup mobile app GateGuru provides crucial information for visits to the airport such as departure info, estimated TSA lines, rental car info, airport weather, as well as locations of ATMs to help make getting on your flight easier. Also, Putting your boarding pass on your phone through the airline's app will give you one less thing to worry about keeping track of, your phone will do it for you!
Once you finally arrive at your destination, a mobile app called TouchStay offers information about local activities along with reviews from TripAdvisor and Google Places, so that you won't miss out on the best activities, food, and hotspots.
Preparing for a vacation or business trip does not always have to be a burden; there are plenty of ways to ensure that you get ready for your voyage with ease!
