App in the Air

Free (IAPs) FROM AITA, appintheair. mobi NEEDS iOS 11 and watchOS 4 or later

Traveling can be stressful at the best of times, which is why App in the Air is such a lifesaver. It’ll tell you all the key details (when to check in, which departure gate you need, your flight number and status), plus a number of extra features that help it rise above the rest.

Its advice is tailored for each airport. You get navigation directions to your gate, the password for the airport Wi–Fi, plus handy tips from other travellers on what to expect while you’re there. All this serves to make your experience a little more pleasant.

We also love the app’s Augmented Reality scanning feature. Simply point your phone at your suitcase and it’ll virtually measure it, telling you if it’ll be put in the hold or allowed as carry–on luggage. It’s a massive timesaver and helps put your mind at ease.
