How many of you carry around a manila folder with printouts of your electronic airline tickets, hotel confirmations, and rental car receipts when you travel? Be honest…I work in the travel industry, so you would think I have this down, but I still carry my leather document holder (just a more classy manila folder) when I travel. Well, TripIt aims to simplify our travel documents and make it easy to forward these details to family members, friends, co-workers, and pet sitters.
I gave it a try and am pretty impressed. Once you create an account you just email your confirmations to plans@tripit.com, no matter where you booked. They put together a master itinerary from which you can email, print, or view on your mobile phone. You can also sync your itinerary with your Outlook or Google calendar and share your travel calendar with friends and co-workers, add maps and directions, and post special notes.
Take a look at their sample itinerary and watch their online demo.
