If you – like me are a frequent traveller then you know the pain that comes with remembering Flight codes, departure times, hotel names & addresses. Now think of when you forgot to print some important documents that have all that information on them. Or maybe you forgot your Frequent Flyer number…sounds familiar?
Welcome to my world! Fortunately all of that changed for me when I started using TripIt – by far my favourite iPhone application (though the same exists for Android and as a mobile site).
The way it works is very easy – every time you book a flight online you get an email confirmation: just forward that to plans@tripit.com and it will automatically recognize your email address and summarize your travel details for you. It will record everything from the passenger names, flight code, check-in time etc…
You can do exactly the same with hotels or certain trains. Unless you have a specific need to print out the email confirmation – you can just forget about it and bring your mobile device with you…all the information you need will appear in your TripIt profile (or App).
I can’t recommend this application enough – whether the basic version or the Pro version are really useful. If you are a frequent traveller it’ll save you a ton of time!
This really sounds like an advert – however it’s a completely spontaneous recommendation: my colleague showed this to me and I have used it ever since, it’s such a useful app that they deserve the free mention!
