Today, Benny Meyer at iPhoneSamurai.com published his latest post, titled App lets Users Plan Entire Vacation via iPhone.

http://iphonesamurai.com/app-lets-users-plan-entire-vacation-via-iphone/
In his latest post, Benny introduces readers to CheapOAir, a new iPhone app that allows users to book flights, hotels and car rental directly from their iPhone.
The site even has a top 25 deals section and an area for vacation packages. Theres even a Hunger Games package he says.
Benny continues to explain that the company behind the app created a package which flies users to Charlotte and allows them to explore some of the filming locations from The Hunger Games.
However, as Benny points out, this may just be a sneaky marketing ploy.
Its important to note that CheapOair isnt offering a Hunger Games tour package as part of the deal. This was just a catchy way of promoting a trip to Charlotte. It worked, too, getting CheapOair mentioned in numerous publications and blogs and helping further increase the services visibility he writes.
It must have worked, though. The App already has a 5 out of 5 rating from its users.
The app is, according to Benny, perfect for the frequent business traveller. It allows the user to save selections such as flight meal preferences as well as a preferred seat.
Benny concludes his blog post by giving his users a polite reality check.
I may be glued to my iPhone, but there are some things I prefer to do on a full-blown computer. Travel apps are great for when Im already on my trip, but when Im booking my flight Im still at home. But since experts are saying users are increasingly choosing smartphones over computers for surfing, CheapOair is obviously on the right track he says.
