Instead, travelers have all trip details at their fingertips on their smartphone, calendar or online – for free. To get started, travelers simply forward travel confirmation emails from anywhere they book to plans@tripit.com. TripIt automagically creates a simple, smart itinerary, combining travel plans with maps, driving directions and more – which can easily be shared with others.

The TripIt for Windows Phone app also supports TripIt Pro, the premium service which acts like a personal travel assistant while traveling. With all the benefits of TripIt – which makes it easy to organize and share travel information from one place – TripIt Pro goes much further by keeping the traveler in the know with status alerts and fare refund opportunities. The Windows Phone app provides TripIt Pro users with access to all their frequent traveler points in one place. Greater peace of mind while traveling is available for$49/year.
