As I head into yet another week of travel, I thought I would share my favorite app for making travel easier. I only travel about once a month of average, but even that can be a nightmare to keep track of. From flights to hotels and rental cars, it's easy to forget whether I've made all of the necessary reservations.
That's where TripIt saves the day. With TripIt, you just need to forward your confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com and it automatically creates and organizes travel itineraries for you. Based on location and date, it knows where you are going and how long you will be there. You can even share travel plans with team members making traveling with coworkers a breeze.
On my recent personal trip to Arizona, I couldn't remember if I had reserved a rental car. I had made several rental car reservations in the past several weeks, but could not remember if I had made one for this trip in particular. While I couldn't remember, I knew TripIt would. I save every confirmation into TripIt without fail - it is my travel lifeline. A quick check in the app confirmed that I had not made the necessary reservation and saved me the headache of searching through my email for a non-existent confirmation email.
TripIt is free to get started. If you travel more than twice a year, I highly recommend you try it today.
