The new solutions to efficiently prepare for a plane trip

Each year, millions of travelers choose the airplane as their means of transport. Many solutions have been implemented thanks to new technologies to facilitate the organization of air travel and ensure peace of mind. In this blog, you will discover solutions that can help you best organize your plane trip.

Booking your flights

Today, there are a large number of companies offering unbeatable prices for all destinations around the globe. In fact, you can find quite significant price differences for the same flight. That is why, for several years now, many flight comparison sites have emerged to find the cheapest deals. These comparison sites redirect customers directly to the site selling the flight, thus saving them time and money on their booking.

Anticipating your trip

After purchasing your tickets, you will have the opportunity to personalize your trip thanks to the many partners of the airlines. They offer you additional services to improve the course of your journey. To optimize your waiting time at the airport, they offer "Sky priority" services that allow you to avoid queues at the airport and during boarding. You also have the option to book access to airport lounges to wait for your flights in the best conditions. Most airlines also have preferential rates for hotel bookings. Finally, they provide you with additional insurance that reimburses you in case of cancellation, as well as 24/7 assistance services.

Getting to the airport

Once the flight is booked, several solutions are available to ensure your transfers from the airport to your destinations. In the era of "uberization", ride-hailing services are often the most popular option. Using taxis also remains a solution that endures over time despite the emergence of new services. For example, you can find car rentals directly at airports. New parking companies are also emerging near terminals to compete with the high prices of airport parking. They are often accessible on foot or via shuttles directly connected to the airport. You can also benefit from valet services who will take care of parking and ensuring the security of your vehicle during your stay and until your return.

Preparing your trip thanks to digital technology

The expansion of digital technology has improved information applications. Today, you have the possibility to know everything about your flight directly from your smartphone. Indeed, you can access your flight bookings online and check in. It is also possible to add options to your flight. This can be extra luggage, transfer or vehicle bookings, etc. Some applications allow you to track your plane's status live. This gives you all the necessary information about your departure and arrival airport. You will find your boarding gate, check-in location, and any flight delays. New technologies have also emerged to track your luggage. Luggage brands are developing connected suitcases which, linked to an app, allow you to track their movements live and avoid any loss. There are also AirTags that can act as trackers for your luggage. By leaving this device in your suitcase, you can track it from your Apple devices in real time.
