Stop Flying blind with 'Amadeus' great Travel Tools
You know how it feels to arrive in a strange place or rather one unknown to you and not have a clear idea on how to reach your hotel, your new digs or your meeting from the airport.
Amadeus came up with great tools to fight that feeling of disorientation.
What they offer runs the gamut from Local Weather to Airport Guide (Car Rental, Bus and Taxi options) and Airport Map, Driving Directions, Subway Map and Subway Planner if needed.
For international travelers, I would recommend the phrasebook with commonly used words translated from your language to the one used at your destination. The currency converter is a godsend as well as the other conversion tools for temperatures, weight and the like.
I tested Amadeus by using my upcoming trip to Austin for South by Southwest.
After logging in to Amadeus you need to pick the Travel Tools option, then indicate your Departure Country and Airport as well as the date and do the same for your Destination.
Getting a hold of these details all in one place, you will not feel antsy upon arrival whether you are jet lagged or just tired after rising too early to catch your flight.
I paid a visit to Amadeus after seeing their subway maps mentioned on Lifehacker.
