7. Trip It
Get peace of mind while traveling, by having all your plans in one place.
No more frantic searching for confirmation emails in your inbox - or worse
yet - hunting down that pesky manila folder. TripIt is an easier way to
organize and share travel.
TripIt “automagically” takes all your trip details and creates one truly
helpful itinerary that’s there when and where you need it – on your iPhone
or iPad, sync'd with your calendar, and online at tripit.com.
When you receive a confirmation email from anywhere you book, simply
forward it to plans@tripit.com. TripIt instantly recognizes reservations from
3,000+ booking sites including cruises, restaurants, concerts and more.
You can easily share trip plans with family or colleagues directly, or let
Facebook and LinkedIn contacts know when and where you’re headed.
