The Technology Committee recently shared a number of travel apps designed to make your travel easier whether your journey takes you across the state or around the globe.
Lisa Knight, FAPR, RDR, CRR, says there are several travel apps that she can’t live without.
- Google Maps: This app works without being on WiFi. You can still see where you are on the map.
- Uber: This is a great way to get a ride anywhere.
- Converter: I love this app. It converts the currency. I use this daily when traveling abroad.
- Expensify: This helps manage my expenses, and it creates and sends an expense report.
Nancy Bistany, RPR, uses WorldMate to store all her airfare items and hotel, and it’s even a currency converter.
Robin Nodland, FAPR, RDR, CRR, has several favorites:
- Outlook: When traveling, I copy and paste my itinerary into the calendar and save all confirming emails to the travel folder for airlines, hotels, rental cars, etc. The paperless boarding pass can be saved to the travel folder, too.
- Dropbox: I scan my passport, driver’s license, health insurance card, and credit cards, and I keep in a secure folder in Dropbox in case of emergency.
- Splashtop: This gives me access my office desktop computer from my Android.
- MyTSA: This gives real-time conditions of TSA lines at any airport in the country.
