Do you have any online travel tools you'd like to share that have helped you in planning for your trips, or online tools you used during your trips?

Here are a few that I'm sure most of you have already heard of these:

Universal Packing List

Seat Guru

Time Zone, International Dialing Codes, Distance Calculator etc.

If I come across any others, I'll post it here.

Airline flight schedule worldwide

Shows you different flights to get to your destination.

World Weather

Currency Converter

World Electricity

Measurement converter (i.e. inches to centimeters, liters to gallons etc.)

International Dialing Codes - I actually found a better site than this for Dialing codes, but I didn't bookmark it and have yet to locate it again

Map Tool - Great for making a little online map of places you've been, whether it's a map of all the cities you've visited or a local map with you fav coffee shops in your town. They can be shared too!


If we get some more responses, any way to make this a best of the boards thread, mods??

Heres a real Gem for helping plan a trip to/around Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.

This might be of use to some folk...

Round the world on low-cost airlines

This is great stuff! Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.

This thread contains some useful tips on using Google for currency conversion and some other tips.

Two useful sites:

http://del.icio.us - for bookmarks/favourite web sites
http://www.seat61.com - train information

Thanks, Steve. I actually just wanted him to copy and paste it, lol.

Alas, your link to Universal Packing List is dead.

Is this what you're thinking of? Universal Packing List

Time Zone Check

Static, that site isn't very accurate. It's telling me that it's 10pm here in Manila, but it's only 9pm. We don't do DST. Strange.

Are you sure that you are in Manila? Go over to the window and look around.
Can you hear voices? Are they speaking in Tagalog?

Ack!

phew yes I am in Manila, it's snowing outside!

google online maps

web-based, simple, fast, accurate, etc....
