\nGo paper-free and put your boarding pass right on your IPhone. Your pass will pop up as a notification on arrival at the airport, so no more digging around in your carry-on luggage for your ticket!<\/p>\n
\nDump the phrase book with more than 100 languages directly on your phone, instant speech translation and a camera mode for tough-to-translate signs – it can be a real life-saver.<\/p>\n
\nRiding shotgun with a local can give you a great insight into where you\u2019re staying (and it\u2019s usually cheaper than a cab)<\/p>\n
\nKnowing where you\u2019re going is important, even if you\u2019re trying to get lost. Find the best places to eat and drink, check transport details and even download maps for when you\u2019re \u2018going offline\u2019 somewhere new.<\/p>\n
\nMaking time for Skype calls (more on this later) can be a real pain when you\u2019re travelling abroad. We use Time Buddy to convert time zones and schedule catch-ups with friends across the globe.<\/p>\n
\nDon\u2019t stress over converting currencies in your head – Currency Converter Plus tracks 191 international currencies with online updated conversion rates. While your money is on your mind, don\u2019t forget to turn offline mode on to save those data-roaming dollars!<\/p>\n
\nInstall Skype on your laptop and wheeze some cafe-wifi juice or open it on a phone or tablet to chat on the go – Skype is still on of the best options for international messaging and video calls.<\/p>\n
\nMost airlines now have in-flight apps for entertainment, so load them up before you get on your flight for a seamless transition to the sky.<\/p>\n
\nAdobe\u2019s Lightroom mobile app is a powerful tool for sharing great-looking photos right from your phone. Experiment with presets, tweak your pics with advanced adjustments like contrast and exposure or just backup images to the cloud for safekeeping.<\/p>\n
\nShare your photos and videos online is a must for social-savvy holidaymakers! How else will anyone know you took some time off?<\/p>\n\n
