TripIt

For the busy exec, or householder this tool is indispensable. Collating pertinent information in one place ensures that trips are less painful, and that I am on time to pick up tickets, arrive at the airport etc...
I travel a lot around the UK by train ordering tickets for code pickup at a machine at the train station and having these codes clearly listed against dates makes travel far easier. It's ensured I have made my train on more times than one as I am often running late and being able to grab a ticket from the machine in a minor panic without searching through thousands of emails for a train ticket reference is invaluable.

Perfect for organizing personal travel information. Not ideal for group travel management.

TripIt is great for reminders, alerts, navigation, and directions to things like airports, car rentals, hotels, fuel, and restaurants. It will even give you places to eat or shop that are close to your gate at the airport. It copies your flight info to check-in using airline apps, which is one of the biggest bonuses using TripIt. I love the receipt capture for travel expenses. It's just really helpful.

It works extremely well when we need input from one or more people but also when you want to allow people to see you trip and what your time will be looked at. It can be a bit tricky since you cannot hide specific segments but the workaround is to have multiple destinations within the same trip but that can get a bit messy.

For individual personal and professional use, TripIt works really well. It keeps all necessary travel bookings in one place and is easy to access. If there are multiple people that have varying itineraries, it can be a little confusing to keep track of them all (family trips, large professional groups for conferences and such).

TripIt works exceptionally well for those people that travel frequently and have multiple documentation in their emails. It's the best way to get all the travel data in one place and not having to find confirmation emails. In any case, I wouldn't recommend it for those people that don't often travel, especially the Pro version, which I find a bit too expensive.

If you travel, TripIt is needed. Unless you like to print out all of your flights, car rentals and hotel reservations and put them in your briefcase. So for anyone who travels, being able to forward a confirmation of your reservation and have TripIt take care of the rest...is absolutely brilliant. It is like having a travel assistant help get your ready for your trip. You could be at your kid's soccer game and wonder when your flight is later that afternoon and you KNOW that TripIt has the flight information in your phone app. For those of us who don't like traveling by the seat of our pants, this tool is a huge relief. All easily readable from my phone or laptop for my entire trip. And done so easily with just a few keystrokes to forward a confirmation email.

IF I want to add my meetings, that is my choice. I may enter 1 or 2 meetings that I needed to know the time they started, otherwise I wouldn't enter those since entering meetings was a manual process.

TripIt is one of those business apps that, while not strictly required, represents a huge quality of life improvement for those of us who travel regularly for work. Capturing your itinerary information in one place, so you have one point of reference is a great benefit. When you couple that with relevant notifications about your itinerary, and an Apple Watch app for quick at-a-glance information about your travel plans, you really can't beat it. Highly recommended.

TripIt is great for the business traveler, but also very good for families or groups. One person can make all the reservations, and then share the details from within Tripit vs. having to send individual booking records to everyone. Tripit is not good if you don't manage your circles closely or those you have given permission to in the past. There needs to be more reminding to check those permissions, access, etc. That whole functionality is in need of a major update.
