🤓 A few months ago I took the nerdiest approach to planning a trip to Italy. I built a web app to plan with friends and now it's in a beta release. All with the goal of making planning travel with friends easier.
🗓 You can create itineraries through an intuitive calendar interface. Saving all the important information about each destination / event in you trip you can access while planning and while on the trip.
🤑 You can track and maintain your trip budget. Track who's paid and who hasn't. Make settling the tab super easy.
👍 One of the hardest parts of trip planning is figuring out what to do or where to stay. Not everyone is always up for the same thing. Use the vote / like button on events to help make group decisions about the trip.
And so much more to come! 🎉

Apple and Google's latest moves in travel perhaps the final straw?
They were acquired by private equity a few years ago, so perhaps they are shutting down because the growth model didn't meet their targets?
It's a great app for keeping track of your flights. Way WAAAY better than TripIt. The leaderboard is also fun. I'm a lifelong customer 😢
Someone should acquire them, cut server costs, and keep it running!
A little infrastructure refactoring can go a long way in terms of "runway". I'm sure the operational costs need to get a mention, but someone with a half bit of cop-on could keep things running long enough to ride out a trend change or wait for the next market opportunity.
Oh no, this is bad. Any good alternatives?
For iOS users, Tripsy
Unfortunately, I am on Android. ;)
There's "Flighty", but the app I use myself is "Mileways" (IOS) run by a determined and scrappy team out of Munich
For the flight diary aspect of App in the Air, you may want to try LogMy.World which even enables import of your data through a provided template.
Thanks, it looks good! Are you involved in this project?
thank you :) yes, as co-founder.
That is shame, a great app to track travels
I used to keep my old boarding cards, even if the thermal print eventually faded to nothing, it was nice to keep something of a "logbook" to mark the locations visited, however "everyday" or exciting the trip was. In an era where an airline (should/can) remote-expire a passbook boarding card, there's little to remember the trip by. Except for tools like this.
(there is of course the option of just-another-screenshot in your phone's album)
