#TravelThursday - Travel Apps for Business Travelers

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service
P: (631) 587-8500
 
 What’s the purpose of travel apps? Well, for starters they solve a problem you likely didn’t realize you even had. You now can cut down on journey times, find the nearest coffee house, or simply show how to ask directions in the language of the country you are visiting - all with the push of a button (or tap of a screen rather).

Before jet setting off on your next business trip, keep a few of the below in your pocket to help you travel smarter:
 
Google Translate (Android, iOS)
Featuring 80 languages for written and spoken translation - Google Translate is a FREE, easy to use, comprehensive app to help with any language barriers you may face.
 
Duolingo (Android, iOS)
Speaking of language barriers - need to brush up on some Spanish before your next business trip? This FREE app provides quick and effective lesson plans in six different languages. 

Find.Eat.Drink (Android, iOS)
Adding a layer of food-snob appeal - this app gives you recommendations for nearby restuarants, bars, or shops from local chefs and bartenders. These pros help you make an informed choice, while also helping you sound like an expert to clients and colleagues in the process.

Hotel Tonight (Android, iOS)
Overbooked flights, weather problems, sometimes a hotel room is needed at a moments notice. That's where Hotel Tonight comes in. This user-friendly app helps find last-minute hotel rooms at STEEP discounts. 

Waze (Android, iOS)
Unfamiliar with the area? Waze has 50 million+ members contributing to up to the minute information while on the road - including accident alerts, cheap gas stations, speed traps, and more. This real time navigation app helps you avoid traffic jams while offering hands-free voice controls for solo drivers.

Uber (Android, iOS)
We know Dynasty Limousine can't be everywhere - so for when we're not around, there's Uber. This taxi e-hail app is great for securing on-demand ground transportation and is available in over 40 countries.
 
As you prep for your next business trip, remember to give us a call for your airport drop off and pick up needs. Dynasty Limousine has a full line of Clean, Modern Lincoln Town cars and 8-10 passenger stretch limousines available for both Airport and Corporate Transport. We are available for pickups and drop offs at all of the major New York Airports. Have employees flying into NY from out of town? We operate 24/7 and are available for transportation to corporate events as well.
