Let TripIt help plan your next adventure
All of us could use a personal assistant every now and then, especially when it comes to planning your itinerary for a trip where you have to put together reservations for restaurants, entertainment, and rental cars into something you can follow once you reach your destination.TripIt is a site designed to take confusion out of trying to organize all your reservations by doing it for you. The service takes all the plans you've made for your trip such as plane reservations, rental cars, and restaurant reservations and organizes them, adding important things like directions to get to where you're going and a projected weather forecast for your trip. Your TripIt itinerary can then be printed out and taken with you as well as forwarded to friends in email, synced with your personal calender, or viewed on your mobile device.
TripIt allows you to add information to your trips manually or if you schedule events with one of TripIts supported websites you can just forward your reservations to the site via email and have them added to your itinerary for you. Currently TripIt supports a slew of airline websites, restaurant reservations through OpenTable.com, and they just added support for a variety of event sites such as Ticketmaster.

I love tripit... its import system is just awesome. I've set up filters in my gmail so that whenever i get a travel itinerary from my company's travel agency, it automatically gets forwarded from my gmail to tripit, where its automatically imported, and I can see it in my outlook.
Now if only I can figure out a way for the travel details to move from the calendar to my Exchange calendar so I can see it on my pda...that would be PERFECT!

Saurabh,
I'm so glad you're enjoying TripIt! As you already discovered, you can automatically sync all your TripIt travel plans to your personal calendar. Did you know that you can also access those plans from a mobile device or PDA at m.tripit.com? If you're hoping to sync your travel plans to the calendar on your handheld, you have a few options. I'd love to help you get this set up, so please email me at support@tripit.com.
Thanks, Kristin at TripIt
