Saying this, thanks to advancements in technology, efficient holiday planning can all be done from a smartphone, tablet or laptop all from the comfort of your bed or sofa.

These are explored below:

Flight Track

This app allows users to check the status of thousands of international flights, with slick, scalable maps and information about departure gates, if there are any delays and what we all dread, cancellations.

WeatherPro

Many of us book cheap holidays to escape to the sun, but even the hottest places do have rain, especially at certain times of the year. WeatherPro gives the user access to over two million weather reports in many geographical locations. The technology it uses is very accurate, so if the app predicts rain for your destination, make sure that your umbrella is with you!

XE Currency

First things first this app is FREE! So don’t bother with the other apps that charge you to install, as there really is no point, as this is quite simply the best! It is very accurate seeing as it uses live currency rates, which makes it no surprise that over 5 million people have already downloaded this app.

Packing Pro

Knowing what to pack for cheap holidays can become a nightmare! However, don’t fret, as Packing Pro will become your new best friend. Tell the app where you are going, the duration, who with and it will suggest everything that you will need to pack. This ensures that you don’t pack to much or too little.

Sunscreen

The red lobster look will never come into fashion nor is it good for your skin and overall health. Download this app and you will know just when you need to top up your sunscreen. Input your skin type and the SPF of the cream you are using and once it has identified the UVI rating in the location you are in, the app will set a timer that will alert you when you need to apply more protection. 

Trip Advisor

Last but by no means least let’s look into Trip Advisor. When looking into cheap holidays, it is a good idea to check hotels, apartments, resorts etc. on Trip Advisor and read reviews before fully committing to a deal. This will also come in very handy if you are torn between deals and need help choosing one. It also finds interesting things to do around your destination and places to eat if you are not travelling all inclusive.

So after you have used an online centre for discount holidays and managed to grab yourself a great deal, make sure that you download these handy apps, to prevent that headache that often occurs when trying to sort everything out!
