Internet tools for travel

[Prof Henry]

A few new ones from my list:
Cheap flights: Find and compare prices for airlines tickets. - it's a aggregator fare-finder site, but I find it more useful for establishing the most connections on multiple-leg routes.
The Man in Seat Sixty-One... - The Man in Seat 61 is a fabulous guide to train travel in just about every country. You can't stay on the plane all the time.
Travel Guides, Hotel Reviews, Photos, Forums, Deals - VirtualTourist.com - it's an all-purpose travel site, useful for travel tips on particular locations provided by locals and recent travellers. Variable, but often very detailed and helpful.
Holiday Weather Guides for Worldwide Travel Destinations - Weather2Travel.com - the 5-day forecasts and the guides to monthly weather patterns are the most useful features. Also records altitude, which can be helpful to inhabitants of the flattest continent.
Home | Transport for London - Travel Guide to London, including live updates on status of Tube, etc.
Calendar of all legal Public and Bank Holidays worldwide, until 2070 - Public holidays around the world (you can download current year to your Outlook (or other) Calendar.
Global Sources Travel - Public holidays around the world - a similar but more limited tool
Time Overview - as well as time and date converters, a range of other travel tools
FlyerTalk Forums - View Single Post - Collection of Internet Bookmarked Travel-Related Websites - a huge compendium. Last update seems to have been Sept 2009.
Coffee & Cafe Reviews, Find Good Coffee - Beanhunter - where to find the all-important quality coffee. An Australian site but with a growing number of reveiws and locations of cafes overseas.
Restaurants, Dining & Restaurants Guide for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin & Hobart - Australia only but pretty reliable and informative
Mietta's Australian Restaurants, Cafes, Bars Food & Wine - ditto.

Use this website to create your own webpage consisting purely of your travel site bookmarks. The page is extremely simply, listing simply, for example 1. Australian Frequent Flyer. There are no ads, no graphics or anything to slow the site down. It's built specifically, for PDAs, I believe.
