Ask HN: Good travel planning app?

Posted by NTH on Monday April 30, 2012 @01:32AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm looking for an app to help me plan a trip around the U.S. and Europe in the next few months. I'd like it to be easy for me to paste in ideas for attractions / things to do / places to stay, and to see how changing plans changes the price. And, it would be nice if it were easily shareable and collaboratively editable.

I was just going to do a Google Spreadsheet, but that seems so dry.

I'm the founder of Pathwrangler and we just launched our web app which solves this exact problem. You can build, collaborate and memorialize your trips in a central place. No more spreadsheets, docs, pdfs, or non travel specific project management software.

We have people using it for everything from Everest expeditions to weekend camping trips, backpacking around Europe and diving in the red sea. Check us out at pathwrangler.com or email at [email protected] for more info.

I'm surprised no one mentioned http://tripit.com. I do find that they need improve adding activities but I use it for every trip I go on.
