Planning a trip can be difficult but in 2019 there are numbers of free travel apps are available I mean a lot. I have a bit of thing of always wanting to find the easiest and quickest way of doing thing with less amount of effort.
Who needs travel agent if you have the best app in your Smartphone which not deliver information but also give advice, key insight, tips, and warning. So you can easily find the cheapest hotel or flight, best food, best place and many more for your favorite destination.
I have tested lots of travel apps along with some great advice from my fellow travel blogger and compiled the list of top 10 free travel apps which makes your life easier:
Airnub
Generally, when you’re visiting any foreign destination then it is impossible to convince any landlord to let you rent a place. After that you have only 2 options left one is the hotel and another is hostels.
Hotels can pretty much set your money on fire if you’re financially strong that it’s ok. But if you take my advice than you don’t need to spend in the hotel.
On the other side, Hostels are completely opposite, they are pretty much affordable but you need to compromise with your privacy and there is lots of risk as well.
But Airnub can help you to find rooms, apartments, home and other unique places to rent including boats, tree house and trailers. It is very simple and cost-effective way to find a place for rent at your favorite destination. Whether you need short term vacation spot or month long spot Airnub has all option at all around the world.
Airnub has 2.5 million homes across over 190 countries and for some location, you can add tours, classes, workshops and other interesting stuff.
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is one of my favorite travel apps to provide flight assistance.
If you’re looking for cheap flights, hotels and rental cars than Skyscanner is a perfect platform for you. It allows you to “Search everywhere” “Cheapest month”.
By search everywhere you’ll get all flight in cheapest to most expensive price for your destination. It provides data on almost all airlines in the world so that you can compare price and condition for the same route.
By cheapest month travelers will get all details on the basis of a month and you can choose the cheapest dates to fly. And the best part is that you can use both features at the same time so that you can book the cheapest flight.
Another feature of Skyscanner that will excite you is price alerts. You will notify whenever any fluctuations in price.

Tripit is one of the best travel planner apps which store all your travel plans in a well-organized itinerary, far better from your paperwork or notes.

It allows you to access free internet when wifi available with wifi password and tips. You can also share wifi with your friends on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and map navigation as well.
