Internet tools for travel

I recognise there's a handful of individual threads around on similar, more specific ones but I was hoping people could post all the different tools that they are aware of that aid travel. For example, those to do with checking seat availability, flight delays, online itinerary planners, status of flights, etc. Sites might include checkmytrip.com, flightstats.com, etc. There seems to be a wealth of them out there but finding them can be a bit of a problem.

Re: Internet tools for travel

Here's a great website for finding cheap domestic fares within the USA and Canada: Orbitz: Cheap Travel, Flights, Hotels, Vacations, Car Rentals, Cruises
Be sure to tick the "nearby airports" check box. This site produced amazing savings when it substituted Buffalo airport (BUF) for Toronto (90 minutes away) for flights to and from San Francisco, New York and Vancouver.

It even tells you how many seats are left on each fare it finds.

Re: Internet tools for travel

A few more from my collection - this is a useful thread

Currency Converter for 164 Currencies - useful feature: can convert on dates up to a decade or more in the past

Amadeus.net - the power behind your travel agency is now at your fingertips - links to several converters (time, length, temperature...), worldclock etc

Help for World Travelers -- Steve Kropla's page: especially useful for electricity system and plug guides.

CalendarsThatWork.com - How Everyone Ought to Do Printable Calendars - useful for drafting itineraries and meetings

cheers

Prof Henry
