There are 3 Priority Pass membership options and once you’ve joined your membership card is downloaded to the app. If you find yourself frequently paying for lounge access, it could be worth considering the Priority Pass app as an alternative. The lounges offered are similar to the ones offered by Lounge Pass but also include some Lufthansa business lounges. It also gives each lounge a rating of Basic, Solid or Luxe based on reviews from customers and you can then add your own review and rating to help other travellers.

Its intuitive design encourages you to enter your trip details so it can tell you which lounge (if any) you are entitled to use with your ticket or airline status and which ones you can buy entry to (including the cost and easy payment option). The LoungeBuddy app aims to solve this issue. However, it can be hard to find out if there is a lounge you can use, what services it offers and whether it’s worth getting to the airport early for. Whether it’s to have a shower, find somewhere peaceful to work or a treat before a special trip, using a lounge at the airport is a high priority for a lot of travellers. It will take in to account the weather forecast, length of your trip, activities you have planned and who you are travelling with (especially helpful if you are travelling with children) to give you a personalised packing list. PackPoint is an intuitive app which suggests what you need to pack based on your Tripit travel itinerary. App in the Air allows you to import your flights from Tripit and will keep you updated with the flight status and suggestions of how to manage your time at the airport. However, what Tripit does have to its advantage is the integration of other (really helpful!) apps such as App in the Air and PackPoint. Whilst Google Trips automatically gathers and organises information from your emails, you need to forward emails to Tripit for it to do a similar function.

They can also use the information to pull together an itinerary for you to view and share with others going on the trip.īoth apps are really useful and easy to use but there are some key differences depending on what you want to use it for. Gone are the days of needing to print out all your confirmation emails to carry in a folder, apps like Google Trips and Tripit use information from email confirmations to store the details of your bookings (including flights, car hire, hotel and event bookings) in one, easily accessible place. Over the past few years the number of travel apps that have become available has grown significantly and with the recent change in EU legislation to make the cost of using internet abroad the same as in the UK, there’s never been a better time to use technology to enhance your travel.
