Travel Apps :: Flightcaster

flightcaster travel appPredict your next US flight delay before it is even delayed! With the flightcaster app you can look into your flight's future and figure out the likelihood of a delay so you can enjoy more time in ______. This app's claim to fame is that it can anticipate if a flight will be delayed before the airline is even aware due to "an advanced algorithm that scours data on every domestic flight for the past 10 years and matches it to real-time conditions."

Punch in your upcoming (today or tomorrow) US domestic flight into the app to find out reasons for a delay or on-time prediction as well as the estimated departure and arrival time. {Trip Styler Tip: If you don't want to pay $1.99 usd for the app, just use your smartphone's browser and navigate to flightcaster.com to perform the same functions for free.}

Travel iPhone Apps :: StayHIP

stayHIPI know you're hip, you know you're hip and my mom knows you're hip.  You're the type who flies Virgin America's first class (or who wants to), tweets while at 35,000 ft and orders a G+T (hold the lime) in-flight.  But, could your cool cat-ness be threatened by a chain hotel stay when you're lounging in S. Beach next month? Pas de problème, the StayHIP iPhone App rescues you from the mundane and transports you into boutique hotel bliss for over 40 countries worldwide.  Search boutique hotels in your destination by your flavor of the month: beach, industrial, lux, urban, chill, etc... to find the right place, the right crowd and the right vibe. Using the app, i just found a great hotel in Miami for June 2 - 4, that's close to the beach, has a coffee shop, bar, health club, pool and restaurant for $84/night.  Don't worry, I knew you'd ask, it does allow small pets.

Travel iPhone Apps :: CameraBag

Reading travel photographer Jeff Pflueger's piece in World Hum about the web-enabled photography revolution confirmed that I must suggest the following iPhone Travel App that I already love and use! CameraBag is a photo filter app that tweaks and distorts pics 12 different ways. It's so popular, it also has a desktop version for those who can't get enough of the magazine, cinema, instant, colorcross, etc... filters. One reviewer notes "a great way to salvage the useless camera on the iPhone." You decide, the price won't set you back much. CameraBag App Details

Has the Icelandic Volcano got you down, as in, not in the air?  Find the airport service you're looking for with the ultimate, easy-to-use airport guide for 85 US airports.  This iPhone app acts as an insiders' guide to finding food, shopping and services, so you can sit in one spot and search for a restaurant or spa rather than walking aimlessly down the concourses.   My only wish is that GateGuru would include international airports in the app. GateGuru App Details
