Another travel app tries to ease frequent flyers’ airport woes
Skift Take
iFly Airport Guide may have one of the largest selection of airports, but this thoroughness has come at the price of good design and a smart user experience.
Smart business travelers keep an arsenal of apps at their fingertips to help with any situation. Here's one more to add to your travel folder: Airport Guide - iFly. True to its name, the app provides information for over 700 airports worldwide—ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time schlepping through terminals.
Airport Guide's primary function is, well, an airport guide. Choose any airport from the list to see options like status (ground, departure, and/or closure delays), a terminal map, a list of airlines that service that airport, parking info, ground transportation options, airport amenities and food/bars/shops, and even layover ideas.
