For many of us, the holidays mean traveling to loved ones all over the country. AT&T’s Jason Strong joined us on Wisconsin Tonight with some app ideas.
Road Tripper pulls up points of interest providing detailed information.
Organize travel plans in one place
TripIt keeps all your travel information in one place and allows you to send to friends and family. Put in names, dates, flight, rental car and hotel information.
Book flights and hotels
Hipmunk helps find the best flight at the lowest cost, and also searches for weekend deals. Hopper lets you see how much tickets are for certain time periods and keeps a watch on prices.
