From a different perspective, Trips was surprisingly annoying for me! I had a team we're I'd need to approve other people's trips which would automatically show up as my own in calendar etc. This was especially annoying when our trips would overlap to the same destination. Unfortunately, it didn't have an easy way to mark what was my trip and what wasn't in any sort of repeatable fashion.

I hope they'll include a "not my trip" option if they port the feature, (which I hope, it's a godsend when travelling).

Or since they are already parsing the email's contents to create the trip, they could also pay attention to the traveler's name.

Alternatively, you can try Tripit[1] which has more features, but there is definitely more friction involved as you either need to grant access to your email account or manually forward emails.

I don't know if its just me, but TripIt feels like a polished iPhone app that was begrudgingly ported to Android.

That being said, I'm on Android and do use it to manage all my trip data. Prior to that, I was using various versions of Worldmate.

WorldMate was nice. Another nice alternative — at least as far as apps go — is TripCase.

Everything that tripit does, Kayak does too. I just email all my bookings to [email protected] and it does the rest. (They offer direct email integration, but giving access to my inbox feels icky, and I wouldn't want other people's trip info to end up in my itinerary anyway)

Well, there are alternatives like TripCase, Kayak and many others. TripIt just happens to be the one I’ve used for actual trips.

I use TripIt a lot (manually forwarding emails). I don’t trust them with my email credentials. :-)

I do love the service. Their website design feels aged and worn, but the functionality is great. I love trying out confirmation emails from new travel services to see if they can parse them. And they usually do a good job.

They will almost certainly use oauth to access your email account.

They get given a key to act on your behalf they would never get your actual login details.

Tripit is a fantastic service. One great thing about having my last 8 years of flight data logged there is that I can import it to do cool visualizations like: https://openflights.org/user/dankohn1

Click Analyze to see that I've flown 297 flights to 83 unique airports for a total of 539365 miles, which is 2.258x to the moon.

Love tripit- the best feature is the calendar feed, I don’t even use the app or website because all of my travel details are always in my calendar.

The Google Trips app accomplishes the same.

Perhaps Google Trips is what you're looking for: https://get.google.com/trips/

I've used Trips for years without Inbox. It's an app you can download on the app store/play store and it still automatically creates trips based on your Gmail inbox

Try Google Trips

Why use Google Trips? So that they can get you hooked and then close it down? Much like Inbox and many products before that..

It's as if those open source people had a point

Okay, what's the URL?

I think it’s iOS/Android only — which is a pity because a lot of people still prefer a laptop/desktop — although it works well enough for me.

https://get.google.com/trips/

I don't mean to be too sarcastic here but what's the point? Google will just shut that down in a few weeks too.

Yet, sadly, accidental sarcasm occurs alarmingly often... :-)

In all honesty, feel free to use something like Tripit — see my response to the parent.

If I can't access my trips from my pc, it's as good as dead for me.

See my comment about Tripit — and there are other alternatives I haven’t tried.

But then I have another company knowing my personal information (dob, etc. etc.).

Don't you can just forward your booking/flight ticket emails to trip it? I don't think you have dob in those type of emails?

you can use google trips app or search for label:trips in gmail client which have same list. but combination of these is basically the feature in inbox

Why not just use a label for a trip and then delete it later (or keep)?

Why do that when Inbox did it automatically for me with no effort on my part?

It's not that I can't organize things myself, it's that it is nice when Inbox does it for me.

Same features in an app from Google too. Google trips https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
