PackPoint
This app helps you build a packing list based on your trip. Their slogan basically describes them with “Never Forget Your ______ Again!”. You just need to put the dates, location, the type of travel, and the activities you plan on doing, and the app will take care of generating a list of items you should bring. It even checks the weather for you to make sure you bring an umbrella or a heavier jacket depending on your destination.
LoungeBuddy
Less people are doing long trips nowadays but that will change and when it does you’ll love this app. Let’s face it when traveling on a long journey, the most tiring part is the wait at the airport. The only way to make the wait more enjoyable is the lounge. Yet, without a business-class tickets or a membership, we tend to think that there is no way we can get in. However, there are more options than we thought.
With this app, after entering your credit card, airline status, and lounge memberships, they tell you which lounges you can access at any given airport. Even for people who don’t have any of those things, the app still lets you know about any free lounges or day passes you can purchase. And the best is that it’s free!
