WorldLee Journeys Top 5 Travel Apps

13 May 2024

In the age of digitalisation, our smartphones have become indispensable tools for travellers. Travel apps have revolutionised the way we explore the world. In 2024, the landscape of travel apps continues to evolve, offering innovative features and seamless experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or planning your first adventure, here are WorldLee Journey’s current Top 5 travel apps recommendations.

Top 5 Travel Apps

PackPoint:

Packing for a trip can be overwhelming, but PackPoint simplifies the process with its intelligent packing list generator. Simply input your destination, travel dates, and planned activities, and PackPoint will create a customised packing list tailored to your needs. With weather forecasts and destination-specific recommendations, PackPoint ensures you never forget essential items and travel with confidence.

Google Translate:

For travellers exploring destinations where language barriers may arise, Google Translate is a lifesaver. With support for over 100 languages and features like instant camera translation and offline mode, Google Translate empowers travellers to communicate effectively and navigate unfamiliar languages with ease. In 2024, Google Translate introduced improved accuracy and natural language processing, making it even more helpful for travellers seeking authentic experiences around the globe.

XE Currency:

XE Currency is your ultimate currency converter, providing up-to-date exchange rates for over 180 currencies. Whether you’re budgeting for your trip or making purchases abroad, XE Currency ensures you always know the value of your money. With offline access and customizable conversion settings, this app is indispensable for international travellers.

Google Maps:

Google Maps remains an essential companion for travellers navigating unfamiliar terrain. With its detailed maps, real-time traffic updates, and transit information for over 200 countries, Google Maps makes exploring new destinations a breeze. Google Maps recently introduced AR navigation. This allows users to overlay directions onto the real world, making navigation even more intuitive and immersive. Simply type in where you want to go like before but now with AR, you can raise the phone camera to view signs, and buildings etc in front of you. Google Maps then recognises your surroundings and points an arrow in the direction you need to go based on what you can see, rather than a drawn map. Very handy

Trip Plans:

And lastly, Trip Plans is the APP WorldLee Journeys clients can receive quotes, itineraries, and travel documents in, keeping everything related to their trip in one central place. The APP can be accessed live or offline for times when WIFI connections are not available. Clients receive messages directly from airlines in the case of schedule changes. And if our clients need to ask us a question before or while they are away, there is a message function within the app that sends the message directly back to us as well.

Our clients who have used it tell us that they love it because it has made travel much easier without a bunch of paperwork to carry. And for those who like a paper copy, there is a link to a PDF version that condenses the same information into a few pages that can be printed. Access to the trip on the APP can also be shared between multiple phones and non-travelling family and friends as well.

There is no such thing as a silly question. If you are thinking about it, chances are someone else is too. Lee@worldleejourneys.com.au

What Our Clients Say

Fabulous Travel Agent, Always Has A Solution For Our Travels, And Now Particularly Through These COVID Times.

Lee-Anne has been our agent now for many years. She helped us evacuate out of Buenos Aires when there was a national strike. Lee-Anne reorganized our bookings on Emirates for us to leave NZ in March 2020 just before the world locked down. She enabled us to fly into Paris (no rules broken) in September 2020 and since then as the European world has gradually reopened helped with our bookings for flights, cruises and even a private tour to Petra in late November this year. Even though we’re in France, still, Lee-Anne is also enabling us to support other small travel businesses in Australia. We wouldn’t consider using any other travel agent for our journeys. We feel that Lee-Anne understands our needs and works with us always for the best travel options.

Anne B

We have had the pleasure of working with Lee-Anne planning trips and itineraries to various destinations of the past 18 years. Her knowledge has been invaluable to us. She has consistently taken care of every travel detail imaginable and is currently working on an extended European holiday for us. We have recommended Lee-Anne’s travel services to a number of family and friends who are now also her clients.

The Francis Family

We’ve only recently started working with Lee-Anne for our family holidays. She made the whole process so easy. Several recommendations on how to put our holiday together were made based on her experience and we would never have thought of these on our own. The USA/Hawaii package she put together for us suited our teenage family perfectly. Lee-Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was looked after. She will be the first call we make when we are ready to plan our next holiday.

The Christensen Family

Lee-Anne Talbot is more than just a travel agent. Her knowledge and advice is invaluable, thinking of everything so you don’t have to. In times when Covid can change everything at any time. Having Lee-Anne on top of our travel plans has been invaluable. Thank you Lee-Anne, you will be my first call every time I travel.

Mandy Giddings

Lee-Anne was recommended to us by our accountant after a bad experience booking online. Best decision we ever made. Lee-Anne encouraged us to do our own research online to compare with what she was able to offer us. Not only was she able to offer similar prices, hers were often better or included extras like breakfast or resort fees for the same price. The myth that online is cheaper for booking travel is completely untrue not to mention the financial risk you take with online travel companies not governed by Australian consumer protection laws. International holidays are expensive. Do yourself a favour, call Lee-Anne when you are planning your next trip. She will save you so much time and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your hard earned money is safe.

Julie McCarthy

I’ve been booking group holidays for 30-75 people with Lee-Anne now for the past 8 years. We’ve been to Fiji, Perth, Hawaii, New Zealand, Thailand, Vanuatu, The Cook Islands and a cruise from Singapore. She is a trusted travel advisor, great listener and professional in everything she does. Not sure where I’d be without her assistance with my groups. Can thoroughly recommend.
