When I came across the Tripit website, my initial thought was that they were just another one in the plethora of travel related sites that all did just about the same thing.

The difference with Tripit though is they are not a travel booking site. Their primary goal is to help you organize your trip and itinerary and then share it with those people that you need to share your travel schedule.

Tripit turns chaos into order by making it easy for anyone to:

• Organize trip details into one master online itinerary — even if arrangements are booked at multiple travel sites
• Automatically include maps, directions and weather in their master itinerary
• Have the option to book restaurants, theatre tickets, activities and more right from within the online itinerary
• Safely access travel plans online, share them, check-in for flights, or print an itinerary

One of the frequently requested features of the online booking tools I managed was the additional of destination information, weather and other resources that made the trip easier, and all of which wasn’t dependent on what airline you’re flying or hotel you’re staying in for the night. This is information that’s always important, no matter where you go.

So, stop being disorganized and leaving people up in the air with when and where you’ll be arriving on your trip. Use Tripit to organize your upcoming travel.
