2. Hotel Tonight
Add subheading
Need a hotel room last-minute? Hotel Tonight
works with its various partners to bring you
low prices on hotel room vacancies. You can’t
use this app to book too far in advance and
you’ll often get the best deals for same-day
bookings.

3. Skyscanner
Add subheading
Skyscanner will get you cheap flights, hotels,
and rental cars without much effort. You’ll be
able to view the cheapest times to fly, get
price drop alerts, and find deals on flights to
specific locations using this simple, intuitive
app.

4. Hopper
Add subheading
Hopper is similar to Skyscanner, but it
focuses on whether you should book a flight
now or wait for the price to drop. Hopper
will inform you of the best time to book
your flight via push notification if you allow
it to.

5. WhatsApp
Add subheading
WhatsApp is a messaging app popular in
many countries. Often used in place of
SMS, WhatsApp has over 1.5 billion
monthly users, so it’s highly likely that
people you meet during international
travel have WhatsApp.

6. TimeOut
Add subheading
Find interesting restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and
things to do at your destination. You can use
TimeOut to create a customized travel guide for
your trip. Some cities have more included in the
app than others and not all cities are supported, but
if you’re traveling to a major city this app is worth
a look.
