Whether at home or abroad, using your smartphone or tablet can make any vacation better. Here are 10 travel apps that will help you smooth out preparations for your next trip.
HipMunk
With most travel booking services like Expedia and Kayak, the objective is finding the lowest price. But sometimes a good deal comes at the cost of painful layovers and connecting flights.
HipMunk, a free booking app, presents flights on a matrix and allows users to sort results by price, departure/arrival and "Agony" -- looking not just at quantity, but quality of flights.
In addition, HipMunk lives up to its name by showing neat tips and quotes while you wait for your results. I got this gem from Mark Twain: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
