Summer is coming! What are some apps you use to plan / book vacations?
I'm trying to get smarter about booking vacations: spending less time and money doing it, not doing too much research on the internet. Just want to do it quickly but still cheaply, and letting tech do the heavy lifting for me!

Happened recently on a supposed 3 hour holiday in Seoul :D
- Andrey Vinitskynullmighty.com · WrittenI am surprised no one mentioned Airbnb. Best way to experience your trips like you are a local. 🌆
- Neelabh SinghFounder, App Disciple · WrittenAn all-in-one aggregator including flights, hotel rooms and rental cars powered by smart search and predictive algorithms with cross-platform (pc, mobile, tablet, watch) compatibility
- Nick Abouzeid37Words at Product Hunt ✌️ · WrittenEverything built into one, with a beautiful UI and tons of great trip options. Great for someone who knows they want to travel but isn't quite sure where.

I fly a lot, but I'm not rich. Why is it so difficult to find cheap flights and why does it seem like airlines don't apply any logic to their fares at all? Hitlist has already saved me many hours of checking airfares online. I get notified whenever an interesting fare comes up for a destination that's on my wishlist. Hitlist works better for me than Hopper.
- Neelabh SinghFounder, App Disciple · WrittenAmazing deals on hotels and hostels and booking free of cost!
- Halyna TarasenkoContent Marketing/Copywriter · WrittenThat's a great service to find a perfect flight+hotel deal for your budget. You can choose a type of vacation you prefer (sea, exotics, sightseeing), then choose the dates and a budget you can afford. It will show the best deals, including special offers and sales. The best thing is this service is free to use :)
- Ayush Mittal27bro @boombro, Founder RefR ✌ · WrittenReveal hidden prices. They claim this - "We're better at finding cheap flights than anyone else— so good, United Airlines actually sued us for it". Skiplagged 2 [New version] They show hidden city ticketing trips in addition to what sites like Expedia, KAYAK, and Travelocity show. Taking a stop might save hundreds of dollar as @melaniepinola mentioned here - http://lifehacker.com/skiplagged... You can also track previous searches for changes in price. Available on iOS/Android.
- Though this app won't help you much with planning your trip in advance, it can be of great assistance if you are travelling, and, more specifically flying. You can track yours and others flight status in real-time, see constantly updated flight info (whether it's late or on time, etc.) get airport weather and schedule info, aircraft type and age, etc. The information this app provides is pretty accurate, its interface is simple and easy to use. Also, it's free.

It's very cool that you can see the reviews of the user and friends like the institutions and share your opinion. Functionality is very convenient
- Mavis WangNothing to lose · WrittenTripAdvisor is a must-have. Can't hit the road without it.
- Anton LavrenovWeb maker · WrittenDon't want to live in a slum? Check the rating of a place/apartment before travel. You can check city area before booking on Airbnb or Booking.
- Margot MazurPartnership Co-ordinator, Wistia · WrittenThese beautiful photos give you a visual idea of the places you want to see. It's like a way more visual Foursquare, like a glance you also want to experience.
