Airports are like mini cities ” they’re packed full of people, there are gift shops where you can buy anything, they have lounges and hotels, and there are restaurants where you can eat. All this commotion can make an airport hard to navigate. However, several apps are helping travelers save time and money at the airport. Take a look at these four apps you’ll want to have for your next airport adventure.

B4 You Board

Price: Free

OS: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android

Flying is stressful because you have to navigate a busy airport, deal with airport security, and worry about luggage delays. However, with the B4You Board app, finding a place to eat at the airport is easy. You don’t have to wander through the terminals to see all of your options because the app tells you everything that is available. You can order your food through the app and then go pick it up. However, there’s also a fun feature that allows you to choose “gate delivery” at select restaurants, so you don’t have to leave your seat once you find your gate.

Currently, the B4 You Board app is only available for the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Chicago O’Hare, and Phoenix International airports. However, there are plans to add more locations. If the app proves successful, you might be able to have your food delivered to your gate at any airport someday. Of course you will need a mobile device with a reliable data plan.
