This is the time of year where the airports are busier than usual due to holiday travel. But do you know where your travel itinerary is? Do you scramble to find it at the last minute? Well here is a way to organize your travel itinerary in a snap and you will not have to scramble to find it. While I like living in Queens NY, I also like to get away from Queens to explore new places and yes even see some of my favorite places again. If you like to travel like I do, you want some way to organize your air, hotels and any other reservations you have made. Tripit is a good way to organize your travel plans. Not only is my travel itinerary stored on its website for me to view but I also can export it to my calendar as well. I can keep track of past and future hotel reservations, flights, etc and easily view them on my smartphone as well. Tripit is that one spot to manage my trip itinerary and a convenient way to share my travel plans with others. It takes the details of my trip and puts it into an easy to read itinerary.
When I get an email confirming my reservations I simply forward it to plans@tripit.com and Tripit does the rest. I also can allow Tripit to scan my email account and Tripit will scan it several times daily for any trip related emails. I also can manually enter something if need be on my Tripit account. So the golf date I scheduled or reservations at the restaurant a friend recommended during my visit to Florida can manually be entered on Tripit by me.
There is both a free and paid version. The paid version which costs $49 annually has such features as real time alerts about your scheduled flights and tracking your reward program points and miles. If you are a frequent traveler you may want to consider the paid version.
