TripIt

USed an interesting site launched 10 months ago that organises your travel itinerary wherever you book it. Typically for a holiday one might book air tickets from one site, hotels from another, transfers and sightseeing from a 3rd and get myriad confirmation eMails. One simply needs to forward these mails to TripIt and they create one single itinerary with all the details in addition to providing info on maps, weather, city guides etc.

Also different trips are sometimes booked on different sites and TripIt then becomes useful to aggregate all the trip information for posterity. A traveler doing a multi-day and multi city trip will find it most useful.

TripIt can process eMails from all leading OTAs (including MakeMyTrip), reservation systems, car rental sites, hotel websites, restaurant reservation services like Open Table etc and present it in a very user friendly itinerary that can be accessed online or even the mobile. Calendar Sync is possible too. They have elements of social networking built in too where you can track trips of friends or even share your trip itinerary. The user interface is highly intuitive and tasks like accessing one’s address book to view other TripIt users or invite people is enabled very simply.


It also has some basic meta functionalities that one can use for bookings too, but I would rather use a specialist site like Kayak or mobissimo for this. Also it cannot process mails from each and every supplier for eg Air Asia or Disney Hotels.
