It doesn’t matter if you’re planning a trip or already enjoying your time away from home, there’s no shortage of apps that can save you time, money, and stress. But of course, there’s a fine line between using the right number of apps and downloading so many that it causes more harm than good.

With that in mind, let’s examine seven of the best travel apps for 2022 and beyond:

1. Hopper

The primary benefit of Hopper is access to its price prediction tool. With this, you’ll know when to book your flight and/or hotel to save as much money as possible. The app also provides access to travel protection options. 

2. Kernels

Some people like to stay organized when traveling. Others fly by the seat of their pants. But either way, an app for organizing your ideas is important for an enjoyable trip. Kernels make it simple to organize ideas, notes, links, to-do lists, and more. 

3. Hotel Tonight

Imagine you’re on your way to your Naples vacation rental when you run into a traffic jam. You soon realize that you need to stop for the night to get some rest. If you need last-minute accommodations, Hotel Tonight is right for you. It allows you to book stays for the same evening in more than 100 markets across the United States. 

4. PackPoint

Packing is one of the most stressful parts of traveling. Fortunately, PackPoint has changed the game. Input basic details, such as your destination and the length of your trip, and the app will tell you what you need to bring (and what you can leave at home). 

5. LoungeBuddy

There’s nothing worse than spending hours on end in a crowded airport terminal. LoungeBuddy is a gamechanger, as it allows you to secure access to premium airport lounges around the world. Best yet, it doesn’t matter what airline or class you’re flying. 

6. XE Currency Converter

With the XE Currency Converter app, you have real-time access to currency rates. And if you’re traveling in another country, this is a must. You can use the app to store and view currency rates even when you don’t have internet access. That’s a big deal as you never know when you’ll need access to this data. 

7. Google Translate

One of the biggest challenges of traveling out of the country is communicating in a different language. But there’s no need to worry; Google Translate has you covered. Not only is it free to use, but you can quickly translate into 100+ languages by doing nothing more than typing.
