Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, Orbitz has launched brand-new apps for both the iPhone and Android devices. The app allows you to search through flights, hotels, cars, and book full trips. And if you're in the middle of your holiday, you can use the app to check flight status, local deals, and other items of interest while you're on the road.
The apps use your phone's GPS system, so you're able to quickly find information about places nearest to you. Plus, one touch allows you to call for help if you experience trouble while booking or during your vacation. Apps for both iPhone and Android are free, and sure to help you breathe a bit easier during this busy season.
