TripIt review

TripIt is the organizer for people whose trips are mostly bookings. You forward confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com, or connect Inbox Sync for Gmail, Yahoo or Microsoft, and TripIt files flights, hotels and cars into one itinerary that you can also edit on the web and in the app. The free version covers the itinerary, sharing and a map view. Pro is where TripIt pulls ahead of most rivals for frequent flyers: alerts for delays, cancellations, gate changes and baggage claim on any airline, Alternate Flights for rebooking, Seat Tracker, Fare Tracker for refund eligibility, Point Tracker for loyalty balances, Go Now reminders, risk alerts and interactive maps for 103 airports. Inner Circle gives a partner or assistant automatic access to every trip. TripIt is weaker at the inspiration side of planning, so pair it with Wanderlog or Tripomatic if you still need to pick sights. TripIt's pricing page did not load from our location, so its price is marked pending.
