What's New
Here's a summary of the new features recently added to TripIt.
TripIt Blog Badge

A New Way to Share
July 2008Many of you have asked for a way to share your TripIt itineraries with more people. Now you can create a public web link that you can email to friends, post on your blog, or promote however you want. Viewers don't even have to be TripIt users--anyone can visit the URL to view your trip details. To get started, click "Share This Trip" on your itinerary to see the option for making your trip public.
Events
June 2008If your next trip includes dinner and a show, a sporting event, or even a family night at the movies, you can now book those events in advance and forward the confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com to have them automatically added to your TripIt itinerary. TripIt automatically supports emails from many of the top ticketing sites like TicketMaster.
Alternative Transportation
June 2008In addition to Rental Cars and Trains, you can now add other transportation options to your TripIt itineraries. This is ideal for a limo, shuttle bus, taxi, ferry, subway or however else you get around town. TripIt automatically supports confirmation emails from SuperShuttle and we'll quickly add alternative transportation providers as you forward your confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com.
Profiles
May 2008You can now create a User Profile on TripIt like what you have on Facebook, LinkedIn or other social networking sites. Choose to display information like your photo, company name, trips taken, cities visited and much more. So instead of just showing up as a name in TripIt, you can now create a travel identity that lets friends and colleagues know what kind of traveler you are. If you're a frequent traveler, into social networking, or just like being organized, then you'll want to take a minute to update your user profile at the Profile and Privacy page.
Cruises
May 2008TripIt now offers users the ability to add a cruise to their TripIt itinerary, along with other details about pre and post-cruise travel, ports-of-call and other activities on their trip. Users can also forward their cruise confirmation emails from Travelocity and major cruise lines to TripIt and have all that information automatically added to their TripIt itinerary.

TripIt for Business
Feb 2008TripIt has always been designed for both your vacation and business trips.

TripIt now supports bookings from business travel sites like Expedia Corporate, Orbitz for Business, Travelocity Business, Cliqbook, GetThere, Travelport, Sabre VirtuallyThere, and the major corporate travel agencies.

Meetings & Activities

And if you include an address, it's also easier to add a Map or Driving Directions. Just visit MyTrips and click Add Plans to see the new options.
Closeness Alerts
Jan 2008Here's another reason to connect to friends and colleagues on TripIt. Now it's easy to find out when your travel plans will overlap, or when people you know will be traveling to your city. Our new Closeness Alerts are automatically displayed when you visit TripIt...you just need to have at least five TripIt Connections and your Home Location set...the rest is magic!
