- Love Blackberry Travel. I have had Blackberry travel update my gate number before the update even showed up on the airport monitors. The first time it happened I thought BB Travel was showing bad info and could not be trusted. But I was then very impressed when I saw the airport update to the same info a few minutes later.

I've also been able to get one of the last rental cars on one trip for the same reason. I was at IAD waiting for a flight to LGA that kept getting delayed. At about 9:30 BB Travel notified me the flight was cancelled and I headed to the rental car center. About 10 minutes after I got there, the center was flooded with people because the airline/airport finally announced the cancellation. They ran out of cars shortly after I got there. I got home that night (granted at 2:30 am) but nobody else did.07-28-12 02:43 PMLike 0 - Love Blackberry Travel.

- Ajst, my last trip, to the Philippines, involved a 15hr flight to Tokyo, a 4hr layover, and another 5 hrs on to Manila. 24 hrs total to get there. I made sure I booked seats with charging ports, and brought a spare battery for my BB - Primarily for BB Travel which I pretty much consider indispensible for travel now. EVERYTHING was in that app. Flight confirmations, Hotel confirmations, all contact info for Hotels and various forms of transportation. It updates flight info. It reminds you to confirm, it even warns you if you seem to be missing accomodations for a night. I had 8 flights on that trip, 5 hotels and then some various other forms of transport. Of course I made prints of everything God forbid something happened to my phone, but it didn't, and my phone handled everthing. When you book something, BB Travel scans the confirmation email and automatically adds the info to your trip. My ONLY complaint, is that it is not yet available for my PlayBook.

BlackBerry travel links with BBM groups, making GROUP travel with BlackBerry travel better, BlackBerry Travel activates my phones vibrate when my gate changes, WorldMate pro doesn't seem to do that on my iPhoneFMB8900 likes this.07-28-12 06:16 PMLike 1 - In my opinion, all of the RIM's apps(blackberry protect/travel/traffic...) should come preloaded, and one of the marketing ads should focus on how many things you can do with a blackberry out of the box. Then people may come to realize that blackberry is the richest out of the box smartphone, and by picking blackberry they don't have to look for apps for these many things.geoffsdad likes this.07-28-12 08:42 PMLike 1

- My favorite thing about it is sharing trips and group emails. So instead of sending messages or calling someone to say you've landed safely here and there they just get the same "Welcome to...." emails you get each time you land.

I just download it on my buddy's iPhone last night and played around with it alittle. And as far as I could tell it looked very similar to me, but I forgot about the BBM integration.07-28-12 10:23 PMLike 0
