Flightcaster, another great app, does for air travel what Waze does for your road trip. The app (which, at $7.99 is a bit on the high side, but nonetheless worth every penny) displays all of your flight information and then, using past records and available information, can predict whether or not your flight will be delayed. The app can then help you find connecting flights, so you make it to your destination in a timely manner. TripIt. This app will compile a dossier, if you will, of all your travel plans, giving you an overview of your hotel bookings, flight itineraries, and restaurant reservations in one place.

You could guess how busy the checkpoint would be, but you couldn't know for sure until you got there. Luckily, that has changed.

And you can check all this before you leave the house. GateGuru is ingenious for airport navigation. Once you're at the airport, use GateGuru to find the best services, restaurants, and shops near your gate— or, if you're stuck for hours, throughout the airport.

LoungeBuddy will help you find these pay-for-the-day enclaves, show you photos and reviews posted by other travelers, and let you book a spot in advance when possible. And if you do have special access via a credit card or frequent-flier program, LoungeBuddy can store your info and let you know when those free-access lounges are nearby too. FlightStats.com tracks flight status and can alert you to delays or weather cancellations, sometimes more efficiently than the airline will.
