WHAT IT DOES The app for Android and iPhone puts information on amenities at more than 120 airports in your pocket. This app will help you find dining options, plus deals to satisfy bargain hunters. Spans the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, with 50 more airports to be added soon.
WHAT'S HOT The food section of this app is handy if you're looking for nonfast-food options or want to avoid restaurants with slow service. Join the High Flyers social media feature and earn points for writing reviews and sharing on Twitter and Facebook. Top scorers can win prizes.
WHAT'S NOT Security checkpoint times are reliable only if users update them. At the Los Angeles International Airport, for example, the comment on a checkpoint wait time was 2 days old.
WORTH IT? Coupon users will love hunting for deals -- recent finds include 22 percent off a one-time pass to United's Red Carpet Club at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
