Travel Info On The Go
Lonely Planet is the go-to guide for many budget and independent travelers. They’ve now teamed up with oneworld alliance (an multi-airline partnership) to offer travel information in select airports.
This concept is new, so can currently only be accessed in the Amsterdam, Milan and Brussels airports. Since it is still their implementation period, they’ll be there for a trial three months. The Travel Stations plan to offer up-to-date, information on cities that the oneworld group airlines fly to. Tips on accommodation, restaurants and sightseeing, language guides and audio content can all be accessed, and then downloaded to your phone, laptop or other such device. For free. Yep, the information, which includes texts and photos can be accessed and downloaded for free. Twenty-eight destinations are included, as well as information on the oneworld partner airlines and their services.
The plan is also to roll out Charging Stations as well (currently in Amsterdam and Brussels) for those whose computers (phones, pda’s, etc.) may need a little mid-travel juice. If you happen to be in any of these airports, see if you can find a Travel Station and let us know what you think!
