From Skyscanner’s Savvy Search to Trip.com’s TripGenie, we are being promised perfectly curated, 1-click itineraries.

But I’m curious: How much are you actually trusting the bots?

I recently tried using an AI agent to plan a 48-hour layover in Tokyo. It was great at finding "vibe" recommendations, but it completely missed a major holiday closure at one of the shrines. It seems the "human touch" (and a quick search of this forum!) is still necessary.

Let’s talk about your 2026 App Stack:

  1. The AI Assistant: Are you using a dedicated AI planner (like Wonderplan or Layla), or sticking to manual research?

  2. The Connectivity King: Are you still hunting for local SIM cards, or have you fully switched to eSIMs like Airalo or Maaltalk?

  3. The Hidden Gem App: What is one "lesser-known" app that has saved your life recently? (e.g., Citymapper for transit, Wise for mid-market exchange rates, or Polarsteps for tracking your route?)

Drop your "Must-Download" list below! Let’s see which apps are actually worth the storage space this year. 📲💾
