Getting ready for an international flight? To help you make the most of your time at the airport and travel stress-free, the TooSIM team has rounded up the Top 5 airport apps to make your journey smoother and more comfortable.
FLIO
FLIO is a comprehensive flight info app covering over 3,000 airports worldwide. It includes up-to-date airport maps and information about shops, cafes, restaurants, gate locations, and other useful services.
The app also includes handy tools like Flight Tracking & Flight Status. Simply enter your flight number to track it in real-time and receive instant updates on any delays, cancellations, or gate changes. FLIO partners with major airlines including Lufthansa, Ryanair, American Airlines, and many more. Available for download on App Store and Google Play.
Flighty
This is another stress-free app for monitoring flights, with a more minimalist design and no detailed airport information. It helps you avoid missing your flight by providing real-time updates on gate changes, delays, and other important details. The app also offers push notifications to keep you informed.
Extra features include ground radar, weather radar, taxi times, and timezone change information. You can also save your flights and generate various charts and maps.
TooSIM eSIM
To stay connected at all times and continue using other helpful apps for a stress-free flight, a travel eSIM is the perfect solution. It helps you save up to 80% on roaming costs and lets you choose data packages from 1 GB to 50 GB across more than 200 countries.
If you have layovers in different airports, a regional travel eSIM from TooSIM is a great option. You can, for example, get packages for Europe or Asia.
The TooSIM mobile app makes it easy to manage your eSIM, purchase new data packages when needed, and quickly contact customer support. The application is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Calm
For anyone who feels anxious about flying, the Calm app is a perfect stress-relief tool. It offers a variety of breathing techniques, meditations, soothing audio, and body relaxation routines designed specifically for flights. You can start using them right in the terminal or in the departure lounge to ease anxiety, block out noise, and reduce fatigue. You can also choose the length of each session.
American Airlines now recommends the app to all passengers on domestic and international flights. A free version with limited features is also available.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is an international program that gives you access to around 1,500 airport lounges worldwide. The airline you’re flying with or your ticket class does not matter. There are different membership levels, such as Standard, Standard Plus, Prestige, and others, each with its own conditions and pricing. Membership requires an annual fee. It’s especially worthwhile if you fly frequently or have layovers at airports with lounge access.
The app lets you view an up-to-date list of lounges and restaurants available at a particular airport, including their location and opening hours. You also get a digital membership card, and in some lounges you can enter using a QR code instead of a plastic card.
Conclusion
To make your flights even more comfortable we recommend downloading a few useful apps such as FLIO for detailed airport maps, Flighty for real-time flight tracking, TooSIM eSIM to stay connected, Calm for exercises and meditations to reduce anxiety, and Priority Pass for up-to-date information on lounges and restaurants. Even long layovers can become much more enjoyable.
