I just booked a flight home to visit my mother next month. I’ve been procrastinating on it for a while, and finally did it.
I’m trying something a little new: I got an account at Tripit, and forwarded the booking confirmation to “plans@tripit.com”, after setting up an account there. They parsed it, and stuck it into a calendar that I can point iCal to. And that I can point their mobile app to. I’ll be playing with that on my next trip, and comparing it to Gate Guru, which does much the same sort of thing. It’ll be interesting to see what it feels like to have a purpose-built app to aggregate all the information one wants when taking a flight, versus my usual habits of “manually create stuff in iCal, swearing as I convert times for cross-timezone flights, and throw stuff into Evernote as well”.
