As summer approaches and it starts to get hotter, the number of trips increases, especially to countries like Europe, where the climate is a very important factor. Traveling is one of the many things that we no longer think of doing without our cell phone, which is why there are usually many applications perfect to take with us when we leave the house. It is especially important if we are going to certain seaside destinations to be careful with your cell phone.
But there is one specific type of trip that tends to be a little more complex and longer, that taken by plane. Whether you’re going to another part of the country or a foreign city, traveling by plane requires more logistics than other means of transportation. You need to bring more documentation, be careful how you pack your suitcase…
This is why it is wise to organize not only the accessories that we might find interesting to have both on the plane and at the airport, but also install certain applications before leaving on a trip. This can make the experience very different, in a good way.
Your airline’s app
One of the most important applications in a trip involving taking planes is that of the airline, or airlines if you have to take several destinations, flights that have been contracted. From these applications you can carry out all kinds of procedures, as well as contact us in case of problems.
Have the apps installed allows online verification, use the QR codes they provide to board or check what you can buy on the plane. Additionally, if we have active notifications, it is possible to receive notifications regarding images or issues.
This does not mean that other communication channels are not used, such as email, but the use of the application installed and configured, it is important. Although they generally do not require registration, it is advisable to do so so that their use is more comfortable and smooth. And if we travel a lot, they can help us save points in the different programs available.
Google Maps
Another always useful app is Google Maps. And it is not because of the usefulness it can have in the places we visit, but because it is very useful in the airport itself. Most large airports have planimetry on Google Maps, which allows you to know which embargo gates are there, where security checks are located or to locate stores or restaurants where you can eat. This is much more convenient than searching the building itself, asking different workers, etc.
In addition, in the information of each airport You can see data such as consultation phone number, website
Streaming
Once on the plane, it’s a good idea to bring some media content to keep you entertained. This applies to video and music applications. The specific applications will depend on the services subscribed to by each traveler, but in each of them certain things must be taken into account.
It’s a good idea download music, podcasts, series or films before boarding the plane, so as not to find yourself without coverage or having to contract the plane’s data. Before doing this, you need to review the download configuration, so that they download with good quality. Of course, you need to check that there is space on your phone to hold what you want to download. It is better to do this at home, or at the hotel if we are already traveling, instead of using the data.
While reading
Another type of applications are those for reading. You can carry apps like To light up, If you want to read books, or others like Poached If we have a list of articles to read. Space isn’t an issue here as a lot of storage isn’t necessary, but it’s worth checking that you don’t need a connection to read.

Beyond these applications, it is advisable to check the configuration of the screen settings, in case our mobile phone has a function to improve reading mode, reduce blue light or put the screen in monochrome mode. Low brightness also helps, in addition to using less battery.
Games
The last type of applications are games. During long trips, it is especially appreciated to bring light titles that can entertain us for a while. This, yes, It is important to check that they do not need an Internet connection. One option is simple titles like Candy Crush or 2048.
Games usually consume a lot of battery, so it’s not a bad idea to take a charger to connect your phone on the plane if you plan to use games for a long time. But it is already one of the recommended accessories for traveling.
