4. Last-Minute Flights Are No Longer Exorbitant

It’s one thing to put a big-ticket, last-minute flight on a corporate card; it’s another entirely to book a spontaneous trip that’s just for fun. Now you don’t need to think twice about it. A new feature from the fare-predicting app Hopper will alert you when there are breaking fare sales from your home airport to destinations you may be interested in. It also looks at where you’re interested in going and suggests similar, alternate destinations where the flights are more affordable.

For the really impulsive, the year-old, $10-a-month subscription service DealRay sends text message alerts when there’s a notable fare drop—think $294 round-trip tickets from the U.S. to Europe or $355 return trips from various U.S. cities to Hong Kong, Taipei, or Seoul. (You can set your home destination to ensure that deals are relevant to you.) They’re not always last-minute fares, but they require you to act fast and can often be booked for nearly immediate travel.

5. Last-Minute Restaurant Reservations Are No Longer An Impossibility

If you snagged that last-minute flight, the rest of the trip is just as easy to plan. Apps like HotelTonight will get you a place to stay on the same day you’d like to check in—and have been gaining traction for years. Last-minute restaurant reservation apps are newer. The largest is Table8, which works in 12 U.S. cities. Internationally, you can use DINR in several Canadian cities and Velocity in London.

6. Lost And Delayed Luggage Are (Almost) A Thing Of The Past

Lost luggage hit an all-time low in the U.S. in 2015 despite overall passenger growth—an impressive feat. Chalk it up to the expansion of self-checked bag drops, which ensure that the right tags go on the right bags, and pioneering programs by Alaska and Delta Airlines that guarantee you won’t wait for your bag at the carousel for more than 20 minutes. (On the off chance that you do, you’re handsomely rewarded, usually with miles.) Also helping: Smart bag tags from British Airlines, AirFrance, KLM, and Qantas help track bags around the globe, and smart luggage with built-in GPS tracking (such as the models from Bluesmart).

7. You’re Guaranteed Not to Get a Dud Rental Car

Booking a rental car is a painfully opaque process—you never really know what you’re going to get. But Avis has just launched a program that makes the shopping experience far more transparent. Sort of like Tinder for rental cars, the company’s new app lets you swipe through the available cars in your destination until you find one you like. It also lets you bypass the rental counter by putting all the paperwork right on your phone. Once you’ve decided on a car and e-signed the rental agreement, the app also unlocks your car.
