TripIt
TripIt builds a master travel itinerary from forwarded confirmation emails, keeping flights, hotels, and car rentals in one clean timeline automatically.
What is TripIt?
TripIt solved a genuinely tedious problem for frequent travelers: organizing the scattered confirmation emails from flights, hotels, rental cars, and restaurants into a single coherent itinerary. Founded in 2006 and acquired by Concur (now part of SAP) in 2011, TripIt works by parsing forwarded confirmation emails and automatically building trip itineraries that are available across web, iOS, and Android. The Pro tier added real-time flight alerts, alternate flight suggestions during disruptions, seat tracking, and fare refund monitoring — tools that transformed the app from a simple organizer into a travel management assistant.
TripIt's email parsing pipeline is the technical foundation of the core product. When users forward confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com, or connect their email account for automatic forwarding, the parsing system must correctly identify the confirmation type, extract structured data, and integrate it into the appropriate trip. That parsing accuracy depends on recognizing the enormous variety of confirmation email formats across hundreds of airlines, hotel chains, car rental companies, and restaurant booking systems. The Pro flight alert system integrates with flight status data feeds to monitor departures and gate changes in real time.
Service disruptions on TripIt tend to be subtle before they become obvious. The most common early sign is confirmation emails that have been forwarded but whose contents do not appear in the itinerary — the parsing pipeline may be delayed or failing silently, and users only discover the problem when they open the app before a trip and find missing booking information. Real-time flight alerts may stop arriving during backend incidents, which is particularly impactful during weather disruptions when travelers most need timely gate change information. App authentication failures prevent access to itineraries entirely, which can be particularly stressful at an airport gate.
Outage.gg tracks TripIt platform status using real-time community reports from travelers and business users. If confirmation emails are not being parsed, flight alerts have stopped, or the app is not loading, the live status page shows current impact.
