this sounds fabulous – just need the time off to put it thru its paces – will revert for feedback before we venture abroad again. maybe that will be the trigger that swaps my beloved palm for a iphone.

It is good. I’ve been using it over the last few months to plan a somewhat busy 5 week business trip across the US, and it has worked very well. Understands timezones, can email it most flight, rental car and even hotel bookings and it is pretty good at translating them to its internal storage. You can export your itinerary in pdf and ical (so you can dump in a calendar) formats, and there is also an iPhone app available that allows you to sync itineraries to TripIt on the iPhone. All for free. Oh, another nice feature is sharing itineraries, so I’ve started using to for planning boys trips to Australia Of course I keep most of the trips private, and just share with either my contacts on TripIt, or specific people. I’m past the point of trusting travel agents to more complex flight arrangements – after continual cockups…

shame it doesn’t support jetstar or pacific blue. i tend to use all airlines about equally depending on who is cheapest, but it is a pain to have to put stuff in manually when you see how easily it takes the air NZ emails.

And – if you add your contacts and they use it you can see quickly and easily that they are going to be in Hong Kong say 2 of the days you are there.

In some instances I’m not sure it would be good security for me to put onto a website where I’m going. I don’t really like telling people beforehand that I’m off to do a spot of covert work in a wildlife smuggling hotspot.

Because I like to choose my own trips and accommodation and tours.

Looks cool, but why is it better than my travel agent who does all this for me anyway?
