PLANNING a trip can be a hassle some times. There are too many things to take into considerat­ion, with budget being the top of the list. Naturally, you’d want the best deal in town but in most cases, we get confused by the deals offered out there.

But it’s 2018 and all you need is the necessary tool to make your vacation a breeze. Pick A Trip, the latest travel mobile app, lets you do just that. In the beginning I was sceptical about the app, I mean, it’s just another travel app on top of what we’ve got so far in the market. But I was wrong. Pick A Trip provides a comprehens­ive platform for me to browse and select the best deals of my choice.

With that being said, I no longer need to download multiple apps of different airlines or hotels just to compare prices. Imagine the space I can save on my phone and replace them with photos from my travel later.

As I have an upcoming trip later, all I need is just one app — Pick A Trip — to allow me to compare prices of hotels, make bookings and even purchase my airline tickets. The app searches the most affordable and best options via its travel partners.

Pick A Trip also acts as a trip planner where you can save the most important dates and details for your own reference later. You can also save your hotel confirmati­on number, and even your flight details. To check your itinerary later, all you need to do is open the menu bar and select Itinerary.

While finding the best deal is the utmost priority, I also want to make sure that I have enough cash to spend during my trip. With the apps’ easy-payment option, I don’t have to worry about over-spending. The app has recently partnered with Visa, where it is enhanced with Visa’s payment solution: Visa Checkout. That’s not all; exclusive deals await all Visa cardholder when you book your trip using the app.

To download, go to Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
