Trip it App
If you’ve known me for any amount of time you know that I used to travel a lot and I enjoy technology quite well. These days I don’t travel quite as much as I’m chasing my toddler more however, my clients do. Which is why when I came across this little App I thought I would further investigate and review.
Business travel in general usually means lots of flights,
lots of hotels,
lots of rental cars,
and LOTS of confirmation numbers to keep track of…
This app is all about keeping you organized.
It will help you keep all my trips in one place, then breaks them down so you can see your plans and confirmation numbers for flights, hotels, rental cars. It even gives you maps from each place, weather wherever you are, and suggestions for things to do while you’re there. As soon as you get a confirmation email when you’ve booked a flight or hotel room, just forward it to plans@tripit.com and it goes right to your phone. If you add a car or stop along the way, it automatically updates.
You can pay a little more for the PRO version (’cause your such a travel pro) and it will send you reminders to check in for your flight, let you know if your flight is delayed or cancelled, and offers details on other flights to take if that occurs. (This is the bomb because if you have a cancelled flight it just pops up a screen with all your other options and the phone number to call and switch your flight. It taks about a minute and half to have a new flight. ) And, if that weren’t enough, it also keeps track of all your frequent flier miles and hotel points. Boom.
Trip It is like my new travel personal assistant.
…makes me feel somewhat fancy and important.
This is what my Trip It home page looks liked as of a few days ago:
(no I’m not traveling at the moment, I just loaded up some info for testing)
I have no doubt you’ll be loving this app as soon as you grab it. Please let me know if you find this is making your life simpler.
