TripIt: Travel Planner

Verdict

TripIt's core trick — forward confirmation emails and it builds a clean itinerary automatically — is what reviewers keep praising, along with timely gate-change and delay alerts. The catch is that some of the higher-end features people pay for, like fare-drop alerts and full import accuracy, don't always work as advertised.

Best for

Someone juggling flights, hotels, and rental cars across a multi-leg trip who wants one itinerary built from forwarded confirmation emails instead of typing it all in by hand.

Dealbreaker

Several reviewers who paid for the Pro subscription say promised features like fare-drop notifications didn't work, and some report the app becoming unstable or hard to cancel out of.
