Planning a holiday in the exotic scenery of French Polynesia or the skiing on the breathtaking Swiss Alps, these apps will surely prove worth an install.

Buy yourself Tickets!

As you start to make reservations and pre-book accommodations and activities at your destinations, you’ll probably need a little help keeping track of all the data, for e.g the hotel’s address, rental auto company info, and other confirmation numbers. TripIt and TripCase are two apps that cast out the fine print and collate only the most essential travel information from confirmation emails into a tight and chronological itinerary.

I always like to keep an offline backup of my travel details, so I use Evernote, a super flexible note-taking app that works just as well as saving travel information as it does memos from business meetings. Sometimes, I even upload Evernote screenshots of maps and mapped directions; just to be extra sure I have a backup available offline.
