I’m always on the look out for new tools and tips to make my travel life easier. I never realized how important it would be to make travel efficient until I started traveling for a living. Here are three travel tips/tricks that will help you regardless if you are a frequent traveler or travel by necessity to visit family, friends, or vacation.

1. Trip It – This app has become a lifesaver for me. Simply create an account and store all your travel details hear. When you get confirmation emails for flight, hotel, and rental car, forward them to your trip it email. The trip it app automatically creates your itinerary and keeps all your travel info in a central location. I love the fact that I can quickly see what hotel I’m at when I land and launch the directions to get there directly from the Trip it app.
2. Flight Track – This app has saved me from some close calls. I first got it when it was the free app of the week at Starbucks. Simply type in your flight number and Flight Track will get you all the info you need about your flight from gate information to travel time and probability of a delay or cancelation. This app becomes priceless when I’m delayed and land with a short connect time. In some cases the gate changes for the connecting flight. Instead of wasting valuable minutes staring at a blue screen looking for the right gate, the flight track app lets you know what gate you arrived and updates to the minute the gate that you leave for your connecting flight, leaving you more minutes to run terminal to terminal.
3. Cam Scanner – My favorite scanning app. I tend to pile up receipts. Cam Scanner lets you create a document or folder where you can add multiple scanned images. Perfect for keeping all my documents, receipts, and information categorized by the conference or event I’m at. Even better, it allows you to upload that folder to your Evernote app. Brilliant!
