When planning travel, I always TripIt. As you make any reservations and receive your confirmation emails about them, once you have opened a free TripIt account, you can forward them to plans@tripit.com. What results is a sequenced itinerary with flights, hotels, rental cars and other pieces you may have arranged. Simply a lifesaver. TripIt also generally lets you check into flights from your itinerary. You can access it via web or available mobile apps.
Another indispensable tool is FlightAware. Use FlightAware (via the website, which works perfectly well on mobile, but apps are also available for free) to track not only the status of your flight, but if you are super anxious like me, also the status of the INCOMING PLANE (click on Where is my plane now?) Often this information is just not provided to you by airlines, so it is very reassuring. Or sometimes not.
Hope you have a great trip if you are going, and I'd love to see you at sessions 1048, 1338, and or 1836!

I sometimes like to travel abroad to various events, usually of an entertaining nature. But it's interesting, that's how you get into the culture of another country. And I prefer car trips in which I rent a car from rental24.co.uk.
