Summer travel's under way and with it comes higher prices, more crowds and an overwhelming number of choices and decisions when it comes to choosing the perfect vacation.
With precious little time off to spend with family and friends, it's important to make the trip as pleasant as possible. Here are six sites, some new and some new-ish, that'll help make your dream of vacation ease a reality.
Launched in April, RouteHappy is a flight search site that grounds itself on the notion that "all flights are not created equal." In other words, it doesn't make sense to shop for a flight -- often a big-ticket item -- based on price and flight schedule alone.
The goal of any good traveler is to take direct flights whenever possible. Unfortunately, it's not always feasible, especially for travelers flying out of smaller airports. Smart Layover aims to "turn layovers into unforgettable adventures." If it can just make them bearable, we'll consider it a success.
Launched in March and reviewed on ABC News soon after, the core of GetGoing is "Pick Two, Get One."
It's a little more than a year old, but it's changing the way dog owners board their beloved pets when they vacation.
We've written about HotelTonight a few times, but it's still worth mentioning, if for no other reason than it offers what we consider to be the easiest to use app for booking a last-minute (read: same day, afternoon) hotel room.
Nothing can ruin a good old-fashioned family roadtrip like a traffic jam. The Waze navigation app has more than 30 million users and can simultaneously give you directions while monitoring traffic conditions as they're happening on the road.
