KAYAK Trips review

KAYAK Trips is the simplest free option for keeping bookings together. KAYAK says the tool is free and works no matter where you book, so flights and hotels bought elsewhere can sit next to anything booked through KAYAK search. Trips keeps bookings in one place, adds them automatically, and gives real-time updates on cancellations, delays and gate changes, which covers one of the main reasons people pay for TripIt Pro. You can share an itinerary with your group and set editing permissions, and you can plan and manage trips of any length. The limits are in planning depth. KAYAK's Trips page does not describe offline access, document storage, budgets, route optimization or exports, so for building a sightseeing plan you will want Wanderlog, Pilot or Tripomatic. If you already compare flights and hotels on KAYAK, Trips is an easy, free way to hold the results.
