1. Capture moments Captivating views and wonderful experiences, these are all worth being captured in a photo. You don’t have to carry the bulky camera anymore because smartphones are now equipped with their own quality cameras for taking great pictures. Photos are then stored automatically in your phone, creating your own photo album of your trip. Plus, you can conveniently access these photos to reminisce the captured moments conveniently on other devices by using apps like Google Photos. You also have the option to share these photos with loved ones through email, messaging or even posting them on social media. 2. Airport comfort Waiting to check-in at the airport can be long and tedious. Fortunately, smartphones can offer a bit of comfort! Did you know that most airlines now send anemail alert 24 hours before your flight? Most likely you will also have the option tocheck-in online. This can be easily done anywhere using your smartphone. By clicking on the email confirmation, you can conveniently check-in online, choose your seat and even get your boarding pass emailed to you. Airports can scan your boarding pass by showing the digital version saved in your smartphone, which means you no longer need to print out your boarding pass on paper. Doing this can offer peace of mind and save a lot of time at the airport. 3. Stay engaged Smartphone apps such as Spotify and Audible are perfect on trips for listening to your favourite music and books on the go. Exercise apps like Sworkit allows convenient access to workout and stretching routines tohelp you stay healthy during a trip. Whether you are sitting down for a long time or having a relaxing day in the sun, your smartphone always has something to offer to keep you mentally and physically engaged. 4. Find great deals Your smartphone can serve as your mobile tour guide that leads you to the best deals. By simply browsing the internet, you can easily find where the local parks, beaches, museums and shopping malls are. Smartphone apps like Trip Advisor and Google Maps allow access to restaurant reviews and fun activities around you.
