\r\n TripIt is one of many similar travel planning apps. However, it\u2019s a standout because of its comprehensive features and user-friendly functionality. Instead of giving TripIt access to your inbox (which is the case with many comparable apps), you just forward your confirmation emails to them. TripIt will then use this information to create a detailed itinerary for you. This interactive itinerary includes the dates, times, confirmation numbers, maps, weather forecasts, and everything else you need to stay on track while you travel.<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
