    Have An Appy New Year

    The apps you need for smooth travels this holiday season!

    28 December 2014

    Travelling this festive season? Well, bad hotels, dodgy suntan lines, guessing currency conversions and traffic congestion are things of a travels’ past. Download these eight handy applications – and then, relax and have fun with the help of the world’s most seasoned travellers…

    Flight Status
    This powerful tracking application allows you to check international flights for delays, arrival and departure times, and even, terminal and gate numbers. – Download Flight Status and say goodbye to unnecessary stressful layovers!

    jetLAG
    Never suffer the excruciating pains of jetlag again. This genius little application applies a myriad of complex algorithms according to your travel path to mathematically determine your optimal sleep plan – (sleep masks not included).

    XE Currency
    This freebie is slick, easy to use, and – best of all, since it uses live currency rates – completely accurate. It’s been downloaded more than five million times to date, so don’t even think about hopping on a plane without it!

    Sunscreen
    Having detected the UVI rating of your location, this nifty little app sets a countdown timer to alert you when you’re due your next slathering of sunblock. The only effort required from your side is to input your skin type and the SPF on your sun cream before you kick back and soak up the rays!

    Onavo
    We’re not entirely sure how this app works, just that it does. Once installed, this baby drastically reduces the amount of data required to perform everyday tasks, like retrieving emails and posting to Facebook! No more ridiculous data roaming charges or end-of-month sting!

    Waze
    Road-tripping? You need this GPS navigation meets social networking app! Type in your destination and find yourself the quickest routes thanks to user-submitted traffic reports.

    Zomato
    Desperate for a pizza? Zomato allows you to search for restaurants of any flavour in your area, view their menu and even call them to make a booking. The toughest part is deciding which one to visit first!

    TripAdvisor
    Notorious for its hard-to-please user base but this is the way to see through the glossy magnificence ladled on just about any hotel’s website. Touched down in an unknown city? You’ll have a place to stay, places to eat and a list of must-do activities in no time! Thank you, fellow travellers.
