Travel Apps

In today's generation technology is used everyday all over the world. Individuals are becoming reliant on technology to guide them through a process, and this is very true within the travel industry. A large number of apps have been created, whether these guide an individual on how to fight jet lag, all the way through to language translation. Below are some of the most recent Business Travel Apps:

 BlackBerry Travel App 10:
The BlackBerry Travel app was only realised yesterday for BlackBerry 10 devices, giving Z10 owners the ability to plan, book, manage and share their travel arrangements on the move. 
It has been stated that most of planning a trip now comes down to the price. Many new services, such as Google Flight, have filters that help users find the cheapest day, time or location to fly out from. BlackBerry Travel is no different, as it now offers a “Price Alert” service that notifies you if there’s a cheaper price for the hotel room you've booked. Likewise, if there’s a similar room in a different hotel, but at a cheaper price, or a far better room for only slightly more, it’s possible to cancel the original booking and re-order from within the app.

Weatherpro App:
An intuitive app offering weather reports for well over two million geographical locations, feeding in everything from cloud formations and atmospheric pressure to wind speed and humidity, all in enough detail to leave Michael Fish clammy-palmed with excitement. It’s also accurate to the point of clairvoyance, so if you’re travelling to Berlin and it predicts rain, pack your best umbrella.
Available on iPhone (£2.49), Android (£1.99) and Windows Phone (£2.29)


Air Sharing App:
In the cut-throat world of business, time is money, making a seven-hour trans-Atlantic flight a lot of wonga indeed. Thankfully, just because your laptop’s packed away, doesn't mean you can’t keep your eyes on the prize. Essentially, this (admittedly pricey) app turns your iPhone into a wireless hard drive, allowing you to quickly and easily load it up with documents at the airport, then browse and amend on the move throughout your trip.
Available on iPhone (£6.99) and iPad (£6.99)

    Ipads, apps and all these new bits and bobs are contributing to the end of magazines and books ect because it can all be done electronically.

    Interesting apps and these new devices on Ipads and Iphones etc make life so much easier for people now days, as for example a business traveler can just go to a airport and he/ she will have their ticket on their phone or Ipad. apps provide fast information to people, and data is easily assessed.
