Q – My boyfriend and I are starting to plan three trips next year, two of them overseas. To start looking at flights and hotels, which of the apps. do you think is the best for our initial; searches?
A – That is a question we got a lot from travelers who have been dumbed down by smartphone use. The first thing we would do is discuss our plans with an expert in the field – you know, like an actual human. But we know you won;t take that advice so we will answer your question by suggesting you begin with Hipmunk.com. You will find excellent flight and hotel information displayed on a visual timeline. Many of the travel pros use it. But remember, it will, like all other travel display web apps., only show you listed prices and so-called deals that anyone can get. Consortium negotiated hotel and air rates with benefits will never be listed as they are considered to be confidential. You will need an agent to get access to those rates.
