Flight Tonight: A new app for the spontaneous traveller

TIME : 2016/2/27 11:08:04

Even if you can't commit to a vanishing act for the weekend, this app will make your dreams of a daring escape feel tangible. With Flight Tonight you can plan an out-of-town getaway in a hurry. Search for flights to anywhere, right now and pretend you can be spontaneous.

"What if?" might ultimately become "Why not?"

The app will find and book the best available roundtrip flights leaving from your location tonight and tomorrow morning. Ultimately, it's a great app for surprising a loved one, either by taking them someplace special or visiting them out of the blue, but app makers joke that you might just need to make a run for it. Stuff happens.

The app vigilantly monitors airfares found by travel agents for last-minute round-trips so you can take your 'Roman Holiday' excursion at a moment's notice. Flights are constantly updated, so results may vary throughout the day and become more tempting as your work day unfolds.

But even if you don't pull the trigger, it may be solace enough to dream of stepping into the parallel universe where an impulse vacation is a reality. Free for Apple devices, but don't forget the companion app Hotel Tonight.
