I can't tell you how easy this app has made my life. As soon as I get the confirmation email from my travel service, all the info is automatically added to BB Travel. Super easy!

Hi @esbuenodun,

Alex from RIM here. You’re not kidding about BlackBerry Travel! It’s been a lifesaver for me many times with flight status updates. Another app I love and recommend when traveling is Poynt – a BlackBerry Super App that’s great for finding nearby restaurants, movie theaters, events etc. In fact, if you have a PlayBook, you can actually “push” a phone call from the Poynt app on your tablet to your BlackBerry smartphone – that means you can easily call and book a reservation at the hairdresser that Poynt just helped you find.

Check out this demo (http://bbry.lv/juIXiu) to see what Poynt is all about and then give it a try for yourself.

Cheers,
Alex, RIM Social Media Team

Rebooting my phone now. Looks like some solid improvements, I really wish I could cancel the hotel reservations all together sometimes since I might be staying at a friends home etc.

Another important area is that if you are a senior citizen, travel insurance for pensioners is something you should really look at. The elderly you are, a lot more at risk you're for having something awful happen to you while abroad. If you are definitely not covered by quite a few comprehensive insurance policy, you could have many serious troubles. Thanks for revealing your good tips on this weblog.
