The new MySaga Holiday App includes the features:

- Excursions.
- Flight information, including baggage details.
- Ship information when on an Ocean or River cruise.

Andrew Strong, chief executive of Saga Travel businesses said “Three-quarters of the over 50s have a smartphone or tablet these days and over one in eight of those are using a holiday company’s app, so we know how important it is for the savvy traveller to have up to the minute, easy access to their holiday or cruise details while they’re away.
“Our customers are now able to enhance their holiday whilst away by making changes and booking exciting excursions.”
