TripIt

While for some, travel is a time for relaxation or exploration, for others it provides the inspiration to innovate their activities. If you're a frequent traveler, whether for business or pleasure, you need to be well organized if you're going to succeed. Here's what you need to know about the TripIt application.

TripIt, for keeping track of your travel plans

Powered by a company of the same name, TripIt is a useful mobile software application for organizing and planning travel. The application classifies the user's reservations. To do this, users can manually enter information for each reservation. They can also import them automatically from their Outlook, Gmail or Yahoo mailboxes. TripIt will take care of collecting important data such as flight landing time, itinerary and even confirmation number. It's also worth noting that with TripIt, users can enter any type of reservation (accommodation, flight, vehicle, etc.). When adding bookings, they can also add documents such as photos, PDF files, etc... What's more, TripIt users can add useful information (tours, conferences, activities, etc.) to each booking.

The application also features instant sharing and synchronization of travel programs. These enable users to send essential booking data directly to friends and family, or to a phone calendar. Equipped with an alert system, the TripIt app keeps users informed at every stage of their flight (departure time, arrival time, baggage check-in, etc.). Accessible even in offline mode, the app is available on iOS, Android, macOS, iPad, Apple Watch. Of course, it is currently impossible to download TripIt to a Windows PC. However, it can be accessed via all existing web browsers.
