Traveling. It
can be a both love/hate relationship for many people. People love the
opportunity to explore different parts of the world, while there may be some
obstacles to overcome in order to experience pure, undisturbed relaxation. For
this reason, hundreds of apps have been created in order to aid travelers in
their journey to their Caribbean vacation destination and beyond. Here is a
list of some new travel smartphone apps that will ease your Caribbean travel
experience:
Zuji Packman
Do you ever feel like you’re forgetting to pack something before a trip? This
app is specially designed to create multiple packing lists for your next trip
that you able to save in case you may ever need it in the future. You’ll never
forget your toothbrush or your camera at home again! If you’re traveling in a
group, this Zuji Packman will ease any difficulties you may encounter by
uploading and storing your travel itinerary so each person in the group can
have access to it. If you’ve ever wondered what kinds of clothes or items your
friends are packing, you’re able to view their packing list to get some ideas,
although they are able to make certain items private. You’re also able to
assign them items to pack for the group and you can set reminders for yourself
on any errands you might need to run prior to your trip.
Airports by TravelNerd
Many people might not tend to associate airports with very positive views, but
this app created by TravelNerd allows you to have access to all kinds of
airport information- detailed floor maps, Wi-Fi availability zones, gate
information, lists of shops and restaurants, and more. There is also a feature
where users can pool other travels that can share a taxi with them or find
alternative ways to get to and from the airport, although it is advised to use
this at your discretion.
SeatGuru by TripAdvisor
Have you ever been assigned a seat on a plane that is less than extraordinary?
Perhaps it was a seat that always got bumped by people moving around the cabin
or it was at a bad angle from the television monitors. By simply typing in
basic flight information, this app will give you detailed information about the
seat. Each available seat is also given a color code using red, yellow, and
green, so green is the best seat in the house and red is the one you should
avoid at all costs. Users are also able to leave comments about the seat for
future travelers. With SeatGuru, you don’t have to worry about those small
details that can turn into a big inconvenience during your flight, especially
if it’s a long one.
Tripomatic
Every city has attractions that might not be listed on the city’s “must-see
attractions” list, but they are worth checking out. Tripomatic was designed to
help you find attractions in your vacation destination that you might not have
known about that are located nearby. Users are able to create a trip itinerary,
share it with their friends on Facebook or Twitter, and see what past visitors
have said about these attractions.
Tripl
If you and your friends are traveler aficionados, this app is for you. Once you
sign up through Facebook, Tripl is able to automatically detect when you and
your friends are traveling away from home and it can create personalized
infographics of their journeys and yours, too. This app also allows users to
see if any of their friends are in the area. Your friends don’t have to have
the app for you to be able to see if they are nearby as long as you’re
connected with them on Facebook. Tripl focuses more on sharing what you’re
doing while you’re away and seeing what your friends are doing, as well.
