A no-stress, well researched, safe and fun trip can be rare. That's where you come in. While sending someone off can be a lot of pressure, it's important to remember to leave the passenger (and you) feeling confident in where he or she is going. TripSpot can help you and your traveler make it happen.
Flight Trackers
Whether you're in charge of dropping someone off at the airport, picking the passenger up or just want to make sure he or she arrives safely, flight trackers can really come in handy. Type in the flight number on websites like FlightAware, FlightExplorer and Flightwise and check out exactly where your passenger is located, thanks to clear digital maps.
Travel Journals
Lend a hand in helping your passenger figure out how to spend the time with various travel journals. Visiting destination guides is especially easy way to narrow down a location and search for fun and interesting events and must-see businesses. Take a look at TripSpot's Destination Guides for more information.
Safety Warnings
It's always vital not only to help your passenger figure out what's safe beforehand, but also to check frequently his or her safety while traveling. The vacationer might not be carrying around his or her computer all the time, so you better make sure he or she is under safe weather conditions. Travelers might need your help while on the road too, when it comes to road warnings or traffic updates. Check out various sites for the road with TripSpot's Road Warnings. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website's Preparing to Fly section has safety tips on everything from flying with children or pets to security regulations.
News Sites
Keep up to date on events and news going on in the destination spot with sites designed to let you search for a local newspaper, magazine or television station. Browse HeadlineSpot for useful websites like NewsLink and Kidon, media directories in which you can click on a region to find a local publication. 50states.com is another great news source site that lists all local newspapers after you click on a specific state.
Airline Phone numbers
To book tickets, or in case of an emergency, it's important to keep airline phone numbers handy. Check out TripSpot's U.S. and International Airlines sections for a list of websites to all major airlines and helpful sites to buy tickets.
