Travel Savvy with the help of these amazing apps.
1. Secret Weapon
The Skiplagged travel all is similar to Skyscanner, but it goes one step further and helps you find the cheapest flights, including hidden-city flights that other search engines won’t show you.
These are flights with more than one stop, which allow you to get off at the layover instead of the final destination at a much cheaper rate than if you fly point-to-point.
You can filter flights by the number of layovers, duration, takeoff/landing time and more.
The app also lets you select lowest-priced dates for travel, view fare changes, book hotels and sends you fare-drop alerts.
Available for free on iOS and Android.
2. Room Roster
Hostelworld is a booking app, which lets backpackers book a bed or private room in over 33,000 hostels, hotels and B&Bs across the world-from beach hostels in Miami and party forms in Barcelona to eco-friendly ones in Amsterdam.
You can search by city and date or use your location to find hostels in your vicinity.
The app also makes it convenient to access your itinerary when you’re on the move by offering views of your previous as well as upcoming plans, as well as credit card and payment details.
You can also create a travel wish-list and use the ‘My Trips’ feature to receive detailed information about future trips.
Available for free download on both iOS and Android.
3. Beyond BNB
