Top 10 Mobile Sites for Holiday Travel


 Hotel Tonight App

Every year many of us travel long distance to reach friends and family during the busiest travel time – the holidays - and the worst travel conditions of the year - winter. During this time travelers often experience increased traffic, flight delays and terrible storms and rely heavily on their mobile devices to stay in touch, informed and entertained. The last thing travelers should be concerned about during these times is their phone bill, but with the end of unlimited mobile data plans, this is top of mind.

Now travelers can breathe a bit easier knowing that by using Opera Mini, the web's most popular mobile browser, they will not be wasting their traveling bucks on excessive phone bills. Opera Mini is the only mobile browser that compresses websites data allowing for a faster browsing experience and less data consumed. With more browsing capabilities, Opera has put together a top ten list of must use sites that will help travelers get to where they are going and pass the time until they get there.
