Hi guys! The last two years have set a new era of travel upon us, and travelers' needs have changed in turn. What features could travel apps offer that you would find relevant and useful?

In 2015 I built a platform for people to hunt cheap flight tickets across many travel agencies.
The feature that users liked the most was searching flexibility, i.e. not specifying a city and dates, but writing something like "take me to Europe next summer". Then, the platform showed cheapest trips to Europe during summer.
Our conclusion was that people sometimes had specific requests, but other times they were just looking for "the travelling experience".

@danifernandez really nice function! as we are almost back after covid times and able to choose derections again
@arina_aparina yes! In the end we were just saving our users "price-hunting time" or even providing them with cool destinations unknown to them.
Map of the visited countries and favorite places )
@sergeychik oh great idea! Always used excel for that lol
A map where you can mark countries (like Mark O'Travel, which is my fav) & cashback
Wheel of random places to go (with real tickets ofc)
Some useful info about the airports would be great. Like, is there a sleeping pod, is there free water, where's a nice coffee place, etc...
Cashback, of course!
I spend 30 minutes to find a place with good breakfasts in every town. I search guides on Google and go through Google Maps. And it's exhausting.
But I don't know how to solve the problem)
@mbachinskiy Hey! There is a decision of this problem with https://www.producthunt.com/post...
it would be cool if it was possible to look for flight/train/bus tickets on a map. For example I'm in Phuket looking for nearby destinations to celebrate the New Year — it would be great to see all my options on a map with prices for my dates and travel restrictions for all destinations
I guess some form of inspiration for me to choose where to go – articles, blogs, guides. That and perhaps information on what events are going on in various cities for my chosen dates.
Travel Journal, navigation services and translation functionality. I know its a lot but I feel it'll be very useful. 😅
By the way, the most useful travel features have been already included in this app: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
So grateful for the opportunity to try this product in my upcoming trips to US national parks.
I think a travel journal would be great, if the app would just save all the places you've visited, maybe even attaching pictures from your phone gallery to the places you've been to. It'd be so great to go through it when we grow old :) Like a modern photo album our parents and grandparents used to have!
@anastasia_sharples Or get the tracks of your fligths, paint it with lines on the map and find some well known pictures that match your fligths graphics )))
I would love to see the map of my travels-visited countries, that would be so cool!
@alena_gudz Any Travel app should have travel features such as Flight tracking, Itinerary Planning information, Destination travel recommendation, Map and navigation, Flight booking and local attractions.
I've thought of a tab where you could find all the records of your past trips, it's just fun to remember what places you've been to so far))
For me it is travel advice and support. I'm really scared of all problematic situation I can imagine, from getting lost in an airport to air companies not answering my requests. I would love to have access to sufficient amount of information that I can count on
