Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

[SeatBackForward]

TripIt's lack of development is disappointing, and the lack of calendar synchronisation is causing me issues. But I think I've finally found an alternative that seems to do the things I need, is much easier to use, and (for now at least) is free to use!

Your Free Travel Itinerary Manager - TripWaffle

For me, the features I've liked:

1. email to import itineraries
2. Calendar sycnhing with Google/Outlook
3. Drag and drop trip plan management
4. And there's a whole bunch of other neat little Ai driven features, like a "jetlag" calculator!

Was able to download all my historical trips from TripIT into it in a few mins also!

The historical upload produced this - neat, can zoom around to see desintations

Can TripWaffle import your data ftom Tripit? Also is the former free?

Seems to be only apps and I also like a web based version when doing lots of bookings. These old eyes struggle with the phone

Yep I just did it. You visit your TripIt page (after logging in). You need to enter your browser console (F12) and run a script that TripWaffle provides you from Your Free Travel Itinerary Manager - TripWaffle. This then downloads a JSON File onto your computer, this took about 10mins for my trips going back to 2010. Then in Tripwaffle you just upload the JSON file and it does it all including all the stats.

I haven't paid anything yet, the developers engaging on reddit, but it's free for now.

I've done everything on my desktop so far. I've downloaded the app also, but and all it did was notify me when I emailed an itinerary that was added.

The developer added in a suggestion within an hour of me making it - to be able to add buffers to calendars before and after flight (for transfer/security/check ine tc). They even allow different buffers for international vs domestic flights by comparing city pairs!
