It’s warming up and the summer holidays are coming fast. But travelling can be stressful: Book the flight, check the weather, pack the sunscreen…Instead, pack your Android and focus on the fun stuff!

A calendar full of vacation doesn’t mean you have to dig through the sale bins of travel offers. A travel app is essential for planning a trip to Miami at happy hour or a last minute birthday surprise.

If you know where and when you want to go, Kayak is what you need. Compare options with filters to be sure you arrive in time for the party AND earn elite qualifying miles. Fill out your wish list and receive a price alert when it comes true! Check out fare trends to decide if you have time to spare or if you need to forward to the gals, subject line: “BOOK ASAP!”

Have the vacation days but don’t know where to spend them? Travel Ticker belongs on your device. Receive alerts based on your preferred destination and/or type (Caribbean All-Inclusive? Yes, please).

Once you’re booked, forward that confirmation to WorldMate. The same times and dates that I often transpose are automatically populated into the app’s itinerary (note: a cautious traveller should still double check). WorldMate is ready with the weather in your next city and a currency converter if you dare spend your USD abroad. Whether you have trips lined up every weekend or one spectacular holiday, save yourself the messy folder of confirmation codes and keep it all in one place.

  While I agree with the content in Excursions with Android: Your Personal Travel Agent | AndroidGals , I think the positive sentiment around at the moment is a concequence of a false set of circumstances. The demand for consumer loans is still weak and there is no improvement in the housing sector. The developed nations are surviving on their governments ability to just borrow and spend into their economies which is unsustainable. Regards, Vita Mulvaney.
