There’s a ton of great apps here. I’m headed to Scotland in a few months so I’m sure to use a lot of these. I already use a lot of the flight tracker and GPS apps, which definitely make booking, tracking and making flights easier, but I’ve always found no matter what there is always lag time waiting at the airport. To combat this I use my all time favorite travel app, TV Everywhere from DISH Network. As a customer/employee I can access my home receiver from anywhere in the world with a 3G connection and watch either live TV or stuff off my DVR. Really makes the wait at the airport easy, and is ideal for unwinding in the hotel after a long day. Right now new DISH Network customers can get a free Sling Adapter.
