Tripit – Travel

Tripit – Travel

We tweeted earlier about UK business travellers spurning the potential of mobile apps but what about apps for leisure travel?

We decided to investigate some of the best mobile apps on the market and are delighted to say that TripIt is our Travel App of the Week. Want to know why? Read on…

“If you ever travel, you should be using @TripIt (pro if you travel a lot) to keep all your stuff in one spot. Can’t imagine trips without it,” tweeted TripIt follower @ryanfitzgerald recently – and with good reason: he’s right.

We reviewed TripIt and now must confess that it’s become an essential in our daily lives. The thing is, TripIt isn’t only great for travelling abroad. Yes, it has guides covering just about every destination under the sun, from Disney World and the Grand Canyon National Park to the likes of Spain and South Africa, and you can track flights, but it’s also brilliant just for getting from A to B in Britain.

It has the facility to plan driving trips by allowing you to create maps and generate directions, route details and more so you can access online on the move or by printing out before you travel. The online route planner is free and you can combine travel times, flight and hotel details too.

But this app offers so much more than that. As its websites states, TripIt drags travel kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

It has a fantastic online team ready and waiting to answer your queries on Twitter and is incredibly responsive at suggestions for all your techy problems.

Perhaps the best bit about TripIt, however, is that you can combine all your travel plans into a single itinerary which you can then access anywhere in the world.

Check out the website for more features but we rate it our Travel App of the Week – great for both leisure and business travellers.
