The TripIt app is your new travel bff who remembered to bring all your relevant travel docs, and arrange them in an easily accessible and collated order. How does it do that? Well, one of its features is to trawl through your email inbox and pull out all the information relating to your travel: flights, hotels, car rentals—and then lay it out and present this to you as a mobile reference point in one master document. It’s the ultimate travel planning and itinerary sharing network tool, and can be used on the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, and Android.   

All the smart Canadian business travelers have this free app, or pay the $49 annual fee for the TripIt Pro (you can get this free with a Samsung Galaxy handset). 

TripIt members get to share their personal and business travel itineraries through their networks, meaning they can exchange business travel tips and advice on great hotel discounts in Canada, discounted car rental in Canada, restaurants and city attractions. TripIt creates a collective travel network to maximize Canadian business travel discounts and offers, and make Canadian corporate travel more seamless and less stressful and timely. 

With TripIt, get rid of all those separate pieces of paper littering your bag and your pockets. TripIt has maps, directions, up-to-the-minute airline boarding details and delayed flight information—all in the palm of your hand, automatically without even asking for it. TripIt does the thinking for you, and formats anything you might possibly need in one master document taken from numerous online and offline sources. It will give you weather details as you move, on the fly, and suggest the best options for booking Canadian flights, hotels, car rentals, activities, recreation and dinner. It will do this for you at any point, and every point throughout your business travel in Canada without you even knowing you might need it. How’s that for intelligent travel technology?

TripIt was created by frustrated business travelers who wanted a solution to the diffusion and storage of travel information on any given episode of business travel. Because so many more business travelers are booking their own business travel in Canada and worldwide through the Internet, the many confirmation emails begin to stack up, as does the time it takes to find them when you need them. The solution is to have a travel itinerary management app that does this for you. Welcome to TripIt—another travel essential for the Canadian business traveler.
