Christmas is less than two months away and there are three categories of people who relate to this important holiday
Those who don't care at all, those who want to spend it as a family and with their loved ones and those who make plans for excursions and holidays.
The latter category is the one that concerns this article, as a trip is not as simple as not having any preparation and spending the holidays indifferently or needing a whole day in the kitchen of the house in order to make the necessary preparations for the table with loved ones. Organizing a trip, before it even starts but also during it, is not a simple task. It takes time to get everything right, from adding the boarding pass to the airline app to the hotel reservation, which needs to be confirmed and secure.
And it's not just the important things that need attention. There are smaller details that make a traveler's life easier. Mobile payments are very convenient, via Google Pay and Apple Pay, so it is necessary that the cards added to them are functional. Since the two services came to Greece, they have become very popular among young people and non-natives alike, making it a basic payment option.
Also, entertainment is not always available and the cell phone may entertain a traveler in Texas Hold'em during a train journey. The world's most famous card game is over 100 years old and extremely popular in Greece. The fact that the user can play online and interact with other players has raised the level of entertainment, especially for solo travelers. Also, in emergencies travel documents must be readily available and when stored on the mobile, can be quickly recalled.
It is well known that in today's era the mobile phone is not a luxury, but a tool. So are many apps. A trip must therefore be organized to perfection and the most important relevant mobile applications help to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Skyscanner is an extremely useful application, since it helps users not only find cheap flights for any time of the year and search with the help of different filters the one that suits them best, but also offers corresponding services for accommodation and car rental. Something similar is done by Hopper, which has "price prediction" technology for the most economical moment of organizing a trip. Kiwi in turn adds to the same services the ability to search for ATMs and luggage storage points near airports or central stations.
Airbnb and Booking are definitely the two most important applications for accommodation. The first offers low prices in private spaces, with filters that will make it easy for every user of the application to find what suits them. Even on last-minute trips, searching and confirming is so easy that you won't be disappointed. The second is a classic hotel search service, but thanks to the competition from airbnb and other services, has even added private properties to the app. They follow in the same style Hotels and Hotel Tonight, with the latter having a "price drop" option where you find the cheapest options at that moment.
To organize the trip, the TripIt it helps to have all the needs gathered in one place. Transport and accommodation bookings are stored in the app and are instantly accessible, as are transport tickets, museum tickets and navigation instructions. All information can be shared with a fellow traveler or anyone who needs to access it, even if they are not participating. The Roadtrippers is the corresponding application for travel exclusively by car, while at the same time it offers information about activities on your route that are not considered "commercial".
The PackPoint it's what takes the stress out of the packing process. It helps the user to choose what they need for their trip, depending on the duration, weather and activities they want to do. Of course it has information about the laundries he can find at his destination, as well as useful information about him.
The Calm can help those who feel… in awe before a flight, since it offers relaxation options for the entire duration of the trip. Music plays a key role in the application, as it has separate options for focusing on a specific event, for relaxation or even for sleep. For those who fear turbulence, there is the SkyGuru which is built by pilots and predicts during the flight the conditions the plane will encounter based on the latest weather forecasts. For everyone else there is of course the Netflix which does not need much introduction. Save favorite episodes of series or movies and travel becomes a game!
Finally, at the destination three things are absolutely essential: the Google Translate which is so simple to use that it translates in record time from 108 languages on the keyboard and from 94 via photo, the Google Maps so that no one is ever lost in any part of the world and the WhatsApp to keep in touch with friends and loved ones without worrying about roaming charges. In countries with a different currency, its application is necessary XE Currency Converter, so that no one ever pays more than they have to.
