Before You Land

Landing somewhere new? Before You Land tells you what's different from home: the plugs, the voltage, the time, the money, which side of the road they drive on, the emergency numbers and whether to tip. Compared with home Choose your home country once. Every destination then says what that means for you: "Adapter needed: Type G", "120 V here vs 230 V at home", "8 hours ahead of you", "They drive on the left, unlike at home". One page per country • Plugs and voltage, with drawings of each socket type • A live local clock, and every time zone for big countries • Current weather for the capital or another major city, plus typical highs, lows and rain for every month • The currency and today's rate against yours, with a converter that works offline • The country calling code, and emergency numbers you can call with one tap • Driving side, tap water and tipping in restaurants, taxis and hotels Packing lists Make a list for each trip. It starts with the basics and adds what this destination needs: the right plug adapter, some local cash, a warm jacket if your dates are usually cold. Add your own items, tick them off, drag them into order and save a list as a template for next time. Passport check Add your passport's expiry date once (it stays on your phone) and choose your travel dates. The app checks the common 6-month rule and the Schengen area's rules, then opens the official entry requirements from your government (GOV.UK, the US State Department, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland or Hong Kong) or the IATA Travel Centre. It never guesses at visa rules. English and 繁體中文 Switch between English and Traditional Chinese with one tap. Country names, tips, packing lists and dates switch too. Works offline Everything is on your phone except the current weather and rate updates, so it works on the plane and without roaming. The last rates are saved and dated. Free and private No account, no ads, no tracking. Your lists and passport dates never leave your phone. Country facts come from open data and official sources, reviewed by hand. Rules change, so always check official sources before you travel.
