TripIt organizes your travel itinerary

tripit-logoTripIt promises to organize your travel. Simply e-mail your flight itinerary, car rental info, and hotel reservations to TripIt and the service prepares all your information into one master itinerary.

How it works:

  1. You email all of your travel informations to Tripit.
  2. TripIt builds you a master itinerary with all your plans, weather, maps, restaurants and more.
  3. You can then print, access, or share your itinerary via paper, email, personal calendar or mobile device.

For those of you who travel quite a bit this looks like a helpful tool to keep your travel information in one place. The mobile feature can also keep all of this information in the palm of your hand without having to carry around the hard copies.

TripIt is compatible with over 250 websites, including airlines, hotels, rental car agencies, cruise lines, and travel agencies. And best of all the service is free so why not give it a try the next time you head out on the road.

    Tripit is a great site; I’ve been using it for almost a year, I think. The best part is that you can send various travel articles you find around the Web to your Tripit itinerary and then sort them through all in one place before you travel (and print out the ones you want to take).

    This sounds really cool. Thanks for letting us know about it.

    I am going to try it for my next business trip. That being said I am very skeptical about adding another tool to my life unless it offers a *significant* advantage over other methods. Frankly, this sounds like something you can do on your own. Add the trip to your calendar and keep URL links, PDF document links in the notes field. It’s already on your mobile as long as your mobile’s calendar syncs with your desktop (which I think most business people who travel already have set up). Is there anything more to it than that?

    After reading the reviews on the Trip-it site, the only truly unusual thing they can do is share your trip with others. And maybe adding links to the weather (which I always look up separately) And, getting the timezone changes right – that’s always tricky.

    We’ll see…

    TripIt is the most useful website I have found in past several years. You simply forward them your confirmation emails and it “magically” creates an itinerary that you can easily share with friends and print before your trip.

    Google Calendar is a great resource for planning travel, and I use it for everyday life as well. Your digital life can be as cluttered as your physical life. Unitasking software is no great bargain at any price.

    I’m booking a business trip tomorrow, and I will definitely be trying this service out! If nothing it might save me some paper instead of printing out all the separate confirmations.
