>From University of Oregon TripIt Pro Users:


The Trip It app has made me so lazy.  I just look at it to see what I should be doing/where I should be going next when I'm traveling out of town.  It always reminds me to check in for my flights (which I love because I fly Southwest most of the time).  The Trip It app spoils me - in fact, it notified me of my cancelled flight due to inclement weather.  The airline never reached out to notify me of the cancellation.  Since the app alerted me to the cancellation, I was able to reschedule and get out on an earlier flight and not impact my trip.



"I flew in and out of Portland for a personal trip and used the TripIt Pro mapping feature for my drive home.  There was an accident in Salem and the app suggested I exit off I-5 to detour around it. I saved between 20 min - 2 hours after a long travel day with this information."



" I never stop at the airport monitors anymore for gate information.  The TripIt Pro app provides gate information updates faster than the airport monitors."



" I just started using TripIt Pro.  I was in a new city and was not sure where to get dinner.  I went travel info in the app and located a map with restaurants which also provided links to their websites for menus and pricing and found a great place close by.  I used the GPS for walking directions."



            " TripIt Pro practically packed my bag for me!  When I got my alert for my upcoming trip, TripIt gave me the weather forecast so I knew to take an umbrella!"


"I love Trip it Pro! All of my itinerary information is in one place and I receive alerts for flight delays, gate changes, and when I need to check in for my flight. The app allows me to view airport maps to know what services were available to me.   Trip it Pro is a game changer when it comes to busy business travel, when you have to make quick decisions to avoid delays and ensure you reach your business location on time, fueled,  and ready to work."
