The Best Travel Apps for Planning Your Next Trip

There's three things to keep in mind when planning a trip: what to do, how you’re getting there, and who's paying.

1. Build an itinerary in Outernet

First, you need to build an itinerary of what to do. You can send your saved TikToks, Instagram Reels, screenshots, and DMs to Outernet, and it’ll automatically research them and organize them into plans. So all your adventures are pinned on the Outernet map, and you can pick through them to add to the Outernet calendar.

Pick a few anchor activities each day, and leave room for serendipitous adventures in between: you can open the map anytime to see what’s nearby.

2. Keep flight details in Flighty

Flighty brings together flight tracking, gate-change alerts, and delay predictions. It’s worth it if you fly often or want more information on travel days.

For an occasional trip, check whether the flight updates you already receive cover what you need.

3. Split costs with Splitwise

Decide which expenses you’ll split and whether everyone’s comfortable with the budget.

Splitwise helps track who paid and who owes what. It’s useful when different people cover accommodation, meals, and transport. Add expenses as you go so nobody has to reconstruct them afterward.

Make the travel planning simple enough that you can relax and explore :)
