KLM offer one of the best apps when it comes to flying called “Tripshake”. You can view ticket prices and book or you can give your phone a shake until you find a match that suits your requirements and budget.

This app lets passengers manage their booking, change bookings if needed and even keeps them updated on the status of their flight. You also receive an e-boarding pass rather than the paper version, which speeds up the process of getting on the plane as you only have to remember your passport and phone and everyone always has their phones on them.
