It’s almost Christmas Day; the presents are wrapped, the bags are packed, and you should have the family travel all sorted by now. I feel your pain. There is nothing worse than the whole schemozzle of balancing travel itineraries with family over Christmas. After one disastrous year, I am now relieved to say “There’s an App for that.” And it’s called Tripit.
We have three spawnlings to tow around and extended family stretched over a very large expanse of land. We’re talking interstate travel, covering a total distance of almost 1300 miles, across six different cities along the way. It can be done—it HAS been done, but it takes some fine tuning and the organizational skills of a Drill Sergeant. Or a decent app to take care of it for you.
Man, I wish I had Tripit last year. It would have made my life much easier. It does the usual things of noting your flight details, recording your booking numbers, and even sending you a reminder when check-in opens. But there are certain little extra details that really stood out for me.
My first test of the app was for my trip to PAX in November of this year. Given it was a solo trip, it still gave me enough of a taste for me to keep it for future travel planning.
The guys at TripIt gave me a free one-year membership of TripIt Pro to test and review. I am so impressed with it I’m signing everyone else up too: grandparents for the Big Roadtrip to Queensland in April next year, Sinister for his overseas school trip, and a whole bunch of other travel happening in 2017. This is going to make my job as EG Travel Agent sooooooooo much easier. I’ll let you know how I go with the future use.
You still have time to prep it on your phone for Christmas. One less hassle to interfere with your present-opening.
