Burn the itineraries!

I guess we all have experienced the hassle of having all too many itineraries when travelling. Papers all over the place and never the right one at the right time. Does it sound familiar? If it does, then I now the cure - it's called Tripit.

Personally i hate the fuss with sorting out the right itineraries, when for example checking in. OK I have to admit it, I'm not the most well organized traveller around. However, a couple of months back I found an app that has made the old travel documents unnecessary, and me better prepared when travelling. Imagine no need of printing itineraries or booking confirmations before you head out on a trip. It sounds amazing, and so it is!

The use of Tripit is as simple as could be. All you have to do is to get an account on Tripit and download the app to your smartphone. When you've done that, your'e almost ready to rock. After this you can either allow Tripit to scan your mail for itineraries/bookings or mail them to plans@tripit.com. Either way you choose, you will have all your different bookings bundled together into one neat travel plan, like the one below.

   
All of sudden you have all the information regarding your trip on your smartphone's screen. Of course you can drill down for further details regarding for example confirmation numbers, terminals and so forth.

All in all, Tripit works like a dream either you choose the free version or Tripit Pro. Tripit Pro has one feature that I like in particular and that's the fact that it monitors flights on your behalf. E.g. it tells you when web check.in may be available or if there are any delays to expect.

This may sound like an advertisement for Tripit, but it's not. I'm just a very happy user, that can't imagine going back to the time when I had to print all my bookings.
