When I schedule trips, I often end up with reservation confirmations from airlines, hotels, and car rental companies. I then have to put all of that information together to keep track of when I am supposed to be and how I am getting there.
TripIt is a website that offers you a way to organize your travel plans. You simply forward your reservation emails to your account at TripIt and TripIt automatically organizes your travel plans. In organizing your plan, TripIt also automatically adds common maps that people use. Additionally, TripIt shows you typical weather based upon historical patterns. It also includes a cool feature to give you one button access to flight check in and flight status on your airline’s website.
As long as you don’t mind uploading your travel information to the website, TripIt looks like a useful tool for traveling.
Thanks for checking out TripIt.
I just wanted to let you know that we think uploading all that travel info is a pain too, so that’s why you can just forward your travel confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com and we’ll automatically add all your info to your itinerary. It’s pretty cool! Details at http://www.tripit.com.
And regarding “lawyers” we’re seeing lots of business professionals and their executive assistant using TripIt to organize their business trips and meetings. Details at http://business.tripit.com.
Take care,
Peter at TripIt
