5 travel sites to bookmark as your favorites
Going on vacation any time soon? While on the go, you’ll need access to certain sites, whether to check your flight’s status or get tips on where to eat. But, the last thing you want is to waste time typing long URLs on your phone’s tiny keyboard. Instead, before you leave, add these sites to your favorites in Opera’s Speed Dial for fast and easy access on the go.
Track your flights
Flightstats.com provides real-time global flight and airport data. Check if your flight is on time and which terminal it departs from. If you are not familiar with the airport, the site also provides terminal maps so you don’t get lost and miss your plane!
Organize your trip
TripIt creates a master itinerary for your trip, including all your reservations, contact info, directions and more, in one spot. You can sync with your calendar, share the details with fellow travelers and access all this information from any device.

Did you know you can add as many sites as you want to your favorites in Opera’s Speed Dial? Save other local sites – like museums you want to visit or local train schedules – and group them in folders by topic. With Opera Mini, you can even save these sites for offline use so you don’t always depend on an internet connection. 🙂
