Tips for using TripIt at work

February 2008


TripIt now supports travel confirmation emails from business travel sites like Expedia Corporate, Orbitz for Business, Travelocity Business, Cliqbook, GetThere, Travelport, Sabre VirtuallyThere, and major corporate travel agencies. Note that some companies also have corporate-specific travel confirmation formats, which we’re adding quickly as we receive them.

Please help us spread the word about TripIt in your company by having your business colleagues visit http://business.tripit.com/ to learn more about using TripIt at work.

Tips for Business Travelers 
Here are some quick tips to help business travelers get the most from TripIt…

  • Be sure to add your business email address to My Account so TripIt can recognize travel confirmations that you forward from that email address to plans@tripit.com
  • Invite your business colleagues as TripIt Connections so you can get alerted when your travel plans will overlap in different cites, or even when they come through your home location
  • Share your TripIt itinerary with fellow business travelers, your travel arranger, and your family so they have access to your full itinerary and how to reach you
  • Sync TripIt to your personal calendar and automatically get all your trip details directly in your personal calendar (see TripIt Blog for tips)
  • Access TripIt on the road from your mobile device by emailing commands like “get trip” or “get hotel” to plans@tripit.com and getting that information sent back to you

 “As a frequent traveler, I love love love TripIt! And, our Tradeshow Coordinator at work does too. She books things for me and just sends it to TripIt and adds to my trips! It works great as an individual or on a team. Big thanks to you! You've made my life easier!”
- Betsy Weber, TechSmith

Tips for Travel Arrangers 
If you organize travel for other people, here are some tips to help you…

  • Have your travelers share their TripIt itineraries with you as a “collaborator” so you can edit and finalize their plans—no more manually creating itineraries in Word!
  • Invite all your travelers as TripIt Connections so you can see their travel plans on one master trip calendar
  • Use OpenTable.com to book restaurant reservations for your travelers and then just forward those restaurant confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com to automatically include them in the itinerary
  • Use the new Meetings option to add client meetings directly in the TripIt itinerary, and include maps and driving directions as needed, along with the daily weather forecast

“I've been using TripIt for about two months to plan itineraries for corporate travel. I like the site a lot and it has helped make my job a little easier. Keep up the good work!”
- Kelly Jessup, Stewardship Investment Advisors

Happy Travels!

About TripIt
TripIt is an online service that helps travelers organize all their travel plans—no matter where they booked. To get started, travelers just forward their travel confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com. TripIt processes these emails and automatically creates a master itinerary with travel plans, daily weather, local maps, restaurant reservations, city guides and more. With TripIt, it’s easy for travelers to print or access their trip plans from anywhere—and to share itineraries and see when their trips overlap with friends and colleagues in their TripIt social network.
