The daily blog PSFK hit up their “PurpleList” people, also known as global industry professionals, to find out what favorite travel apps are loaded in their smartphones and e-tablets.
Here is what they found out:
- Airbnb
- Google maps
- voyage-SNCF (ticket booking, very efficient)
- British Airways
- AirFrance (mileage and services)
- AEROPORTS de Paris
- Lonely Planet city guide apps
- Tripit / AMEX Travel (TripitPro free with Amex Platinum)
- Hotel Tonight
- Yelp
- Kayak
- Foodspotting (focuses on dishes not just restaurants)
- Priceline Negotiator
- Delta
Another useful tip from the PurpleList people includes –when visiting other countries, for leisure or for work, download the 10 first apps in the AppStore related to the destination as well as a ” local tourist info” app, a “metro map” app and a “where to go go out at night” app.
We, at HEDGEAnswers, like the Priority Pass app as it helps locate a lounge in every airport where the Priority Pass Gold (used internationally instead of Amex Platinum) is accepted.
