Travel planning involves a lot of browser-based research: flights, hotels, reviews, local information, currency conversions. Here are Firefox extensions that make the planning process more organized.
Organizing research tabs per destination
Tab Manager and Session Saver — save named sets of tabs per trip or destination.
A single destination might require tabs for: Google Flights comparison, hotel options, TripAdvisor reviews, local activity guides, currency exchange rates, restaurant research, and transportation information. Tab Manager lets you save this as "Tokyo Trip — October" and restore it across multiple planning sessions.
Quick currency and unit conversions
Quick Calculator and Unit Converter — currency conversion and unit math on the new tab.
For international travel: "what is 15,000 yen in dollars?", "what is 180 cm in feet?", "how far is 25 km?" The new tab calculator handles these instantly.
Weather at your destination
Weather and Clock Dashboard — before and during a trip, change your location to your destination to see current weather conditions and forecast.
Travel news and local events
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds for travel and destination news. Travel news publications, destination-specific blogs, and airline news are often available via RSS.
Capturing voice notes during planning
Voice Notes — speak your itinerary decisions or packing reminders. "Hotel check-in is 3pm, check-out is noon, nearest subway is two blocks south." A quick voice memo captures logistics before they get lost in browser tabs.
Planning and packing task lists
Daily Planner — the week before departure: "Book airport transfer," "Print boarding passes," "Pack medications," "Confirm restaurant reservation." Daily reminders on every new tab.
These are part of a series of 11 Firefox extensions I built — see the full series.
