After planning the vacation, book a ticket and pack your suitcases is the time to really travel. If you choose a fly holiday, you’ll find in this episode of the Holiday Special iCulture useful apps to arrive. At the right gate time There are iPhone apps that alert you to delays, which the retail and catering services at airports show or send push notifications when flight status changes.
iCulture advises: Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
General Airport apps show only departures, flight status and gate numbers. You leaving from Schiphol, it is useful to have some more information. The official Schiphol app provides the most complete information that you need as a regular traveler: information on arriving and departing flights, parking, shopping and maps of the arrival and departure halls. The app is suitable for travelers as well as fetch them and gives free push notifications for status changes. You’ll also find information on baggage, gate numbers and other useful info. Version 3.0 introduced a new side menu and a new interface for flight. Users complained that certain information is no longer displayed, such as aircraft type and encoding. This is information that is fun for plane spotters, but leisure travelers will not miss. Useful, for example, the fact that Schiphol app for departing flights shows how much time you have left to boarding and how much time you need to walk to the gate. You also get the weather situation at the place of destination to see, you can find out where the meeting point is located and can immediately book a taxi from the app. The only thing we would like to see is a notice once the bags appear on the baggage carousel. Then you can use information from this app look up the nearest place to smoke the fetch them to tell you. Trip adventures

Schiphol App
The unofficial Schiphol app Evolution Host sees himself embroiled in a strong competition with the official Schiphol app. Though the Schiphol Airport there are hardly worry about worry about: they do have to download the official app that travelers anyway. It is the unofficial app that slightly more features will have to face in order not to praise from the market. And that’s he doing well: for example, by showing how late suitcases on the baggage carousel flops and which runway to use the aircraft. Nice to know, but for 90% of travelers is not necessary info. With the free app you can follow two flights per month. People who can often fly for € 1.79 (was € 2.69) follow unlimited flights and receive push notifications. For information about parking, t ax-free shopping and other facilities at the airport, you are however in the wrong place: this app is focused only on flights: departure times, flight numbers, any delay and push notification when something changes in flight status

Flying for iPhone
Flying for iPhone is an app that is still in beta phase. You can install the app from the App Store and use air travel plans. Flying provides departure and arrival times, terminal information, gate and weather conditions. All practical information, but simultaneously Flying has another side: a social. In the message flow, follow the flights of friends. Are you both in the same city, you can speak to the app. Away You can earn stamps for performance, such as crossing the Atlantic or a certain number of air miles. This makes the app a bit more focused on the frequent fliers and less on the occasional vacationer. Not everyone works in a multinational company and is several times a week on the plane. The competition aspect is therefore not fun for everyone. The creators of Flying have pai d great attention to creating a beautiful, user-friendly app. They promise that they will add more features in the future
