The best apps that organise your trips from booking emails

These apps turn the confirmation emails for your flights, hotels, trains and cars into a single itinerary, so you are not searching your inbox at the airport. Most give you an address to forward bookings to; some can read your inbox for you.

The differences are in what happens next: a plain itinerary, live flight alerts, group planning on a map, or a lasting record of where you have been. Prices and platforms were checked on each company's own site or UK App Store listing. TripStow made this page and is one of the apps listed, so every description is factual and cited.

The short answer

  • TripStow: best for an itinerary that builds itself from forwarded emails, then becomes a lifetime travel record.
  • TripIt: best for the long-standing all-rounder, with inbox syncing and paid flight alerts.
  • Tineo: best for a newer AI itinerary app with email-to-itinerary on its free plan.
  • KAYAK Trips: best for a simple, free itinerary if you already use KAYAK.
  • Wanderlog: best for planning a trip together on a map, with bookings forwarded in.
  • Tripsy: best for a polished itinerary app if everyone travelling uses Apple devices.

TripStow

Best for an itinerary that builds itself from forwarded emails, then becomes a lifetime travel record.

Forward flight, hotel, train, car and cruise confirmations, even PDFs, to your private TripStow address and it builds a day-by-day itinerary in local time, grouping bookings into trips. TripStow never connects to your inbox; it only sees what you forward. Every trip then feeds a flight log, lifetime stats and a scratch-off map. Pro adds live flight alerts.

TripIt

Best for the long-standing all-rounder, with inbox syncing and paid flight alerts.

Forward confirmations to plans@tripit.com, or let Inbox Sync add plans from Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Hotmail or Yahoo. The free plan builds itineraries and tallies travel stats; Pro adds more.[1][2][3]

Tineo

Best for a newer AI itinerary app with email-to-itinerary on its free plan.

Forward or paste confirmations and Tineo turns them into an itinerary; it says connected email import may be available for some accounts. Email-to-itinerary is on the free plan.[4][5][6]

KAYAK Trips

Best for a simple, free itinerary if you already use KAYAK.

Forward confirmations to trips@kayak.com and KAYAK builds the trip, with no need to sync your inbox. It is completely free and works across your devices, but it keeps no travel stats.[7]

Wanderlog

Best for planning a trip together on a map, with bookings forwarded in.

Wanderlog is a trip planner first: places, routes and a shared plan. Forward a booking to the trip's own email address to add flights, hotels and cars; linking Gmail is a Pro feature.[8][9][10][11]

Tripsy

Best for a polished itinerary app if everyone travelling uses Apple devices.

Forward booking emails or import plans from TripIt, and Tripsy keeps a record of countries, hotel nights, flight time and distance. Trips can only be created and edited in its Apple apps; there is no native Android app yet.[12][13][14][15]

Questions people ask

Which app organises my travel bookings from email for free?
TripStow, TripIt, Tineo, KAYAK Trips and Wanderlog all build trips from forwarded emails on their free plans. TripStow also turns each trip into a flight log, stats and a scratch-off map.
Is there an app that reads my inbox for travel bookings?
TripIt's Inbox Sync reads Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others, and Wanderlog Pro can link Gmail. TripStow deliberately never connects to your inbox: it only sees the emails you forward.
Which of these works on Android?
TripStow (as an installable web app), TripIt, Tineo, KAYAK and Wanderlog work on Android. Tripsy has no native Android app; Android users can only view trips in a browser.
Can I forward PDF tickets and train or cruise bookings?
TripStow reads flights, hotels, trains, cars and cruises, including PDF tickets and travel agents' documents. Check each app's own help pages for what it supports.
