Building the days
✓TripBaddieFull day-by-day plan from a few answers
–TripItBuilds a timeline from bookings you forward
A TripIt alternative that plans the trip for you
TripIt starts once you have booked. It takes your confirmations and lines them up into an itinerary. TripBaddie works the other way around: it builds the days first, so you know what you are booking and why.

What TripIt is good at
TripIt is very good at what it was built for. Forward a confirmation and it lands in a tidy, reliable itinerary with your flights, hotels and cars in order. Pro adds flight alerts, loyalty point tracking and entry rules for your passport. For keeping the paperwork of a trip straight, especially on business travel, it is hard to beat.

Questions
- Can I keep my existing bookings in the plan?
- Yes. Mark flights or your stay as already booked so they drop out of your booking list, and keep every confirmation number, document and cancellation term in the bookings manager.
- Who does the booking?
- You do, right from the plan, using the links on the stops you want to lock in.
- Is there a free plan?
- Your first trip plan is free and does not need a card.
