Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

[AuSammy]

I suppose it is an appropriate homage to tripWaffle to add the W to rapt.

Wondered if someone with click to that

Quick question: does @tripwaffle recognise Monaco as a country?

Quick question: does @tripwaffle recognise Monaco as a country?

Fun one and upon further consideration: Monaco, Vatican City and San Marino are now (mostly) treated as seperate countries.
Stuff like visa rules for Monaco are still pinned to France, but otherwise seperate flag, stats, etc.
Cheers!

Thanks this updated my stats but the trip "Europe, North Africa and Bali 1987" still looks weird/
It still shows me as staying in Nice for the night of 15 January when I was in Monaco.
I made sure the train times - which of course I don't remember - were tweaked to make the stay more than 24 hours.
I mention this only in case it's useful for debugging purposes.

On another note, the name coming up for the airline with IATA code SB is "AIr Caledonie Interational".
This is historically (1983-1996) and technically correct. However it was rebranded in 1996/7 and it is now marketed and much better known as AirCalin.

This is the silliest thing ever! But man was this a depressing thing to see at the end of an epic trip (almost as depressing as ending with a JQ flight but that's another story). Maybe could be more cheerful like "time for your next trip" or something? I dunno I love this app and I'm struggling to make any suggestions to improve!

Maybe "credit card recovery period"?

Thanks, this is useful.
A hotel night just over a border was being lumped in with the town next door if it was close enough.
SB now shows as Aircalin too

Hey @tripwaffle, I found an issue. I'm booked on QF420 on 8 April 2027, which departs at 8:55 from MEL to SYD. However, the app updated the departure time not long after the trip was uploaded to depart at 8:15am. I note that currently QF420 departs at 8:15, but the schedule adjusts to 8:55 from late March 2027 onwards, which might be causing the issue.

This should be resolved now thank you. Ordinarily we wouldn't let our schedule overwrite an explicit airline email so soon, but the gmail forward tripped us up in this case.

I would find that useful, especially if you can tie it into the Pre-trip Summary. Trawling through Booking.com/Tripadvisor reviews can be a pain as you're not sure of the background of the reviewer

I understand and like the intent.
However, have you considered the potential moderation workload?
I have only one more word to add: "tripadvisor".

Just noticed this useful feature thanks, I normally go into FlightAware to check this.

However, this is actually the penultimate flight before mine: VA1530 is SYD-HBA. Then it will do 1533 HBA-SYD, before my flight departing SYD. So maybe a tweak the words and, if you can, include the current flight as well as any subsequent. So, in my case, list both 1530 and 1533.

The card now lists every flight your plane still has to fly before yours. On VA531 it reads "has 2 flights to go before yours", with VA1530 and then VA1533 underneath.

If we can't be sure which flights the plane will fly, the card just shows the one it's on right now rather than guessing.

Cheers for the suggestion!

Have completed a fairly complex 2 month trip, and here are some of the features I love:
* Proactive alerts for weather or potential disruptions in upcoming cities (e.g. demonstrations, blocked roads)
* Identifies any festivals or events happening in the city which is great if you have spare time and like to wander around like I do
* I haven't really cared too much about gate updates at the airport, but it is interesting sometimes to see who updates first - airline / airport signage / tripwaffle / other
* Insights on the aircraft type, atmosphere (cabin pressure), WiFi etc.
* After a flight is completed, the map updates with the actual flown route of the plane. A neat graphic!

A feature request if I may - as I am trying to track all my flights on tripwaffle instead of FR24, is there a way to view all your flights across all trips in one table or page, and edit the same fields as you might see on: https://my.flightradar24.com/<user>/flights
* Comments / Notes (post-flight)
* Edit Seats & Class (Seat Number, autocompleted with Window/Aisle/Middle)
* Reason for travel
* Aircraft Type & Rego (if not already filled)
This could also be a place to add new flights quickly to new trips (i.e. you add the date + flight number to a new row, then link it under a drop-down to an existing or new trip?

And also things like local strikes and events that are going to disrupt traffic, like the Athens marathon for me recently

Great detailed feedback thanks.

Just to be clear on the feature request: I assume you're reviewing past flights and want to be able to quickly view and make edits to the core details?

New flights we tend to gently steer users towards forwarding their booking emails as it allows for extraction of finer details such as baggage allowances and frequent flyer programs.
