We always love seeing people from all around the world using TripIt, but this one is a special treat. A friend who was connecting in Singapore airport recently saw TripIt mentioned in the airport’s glossy lifestyle magazine, Changi Class, so he picked it up and sent it to me. There we are, right up front on page 7, described as a “Wow Travel” site.
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, as Singapore is a hub for international travelers who can surely benefit from TripIt’s abilities to keep you organized, particularly when visiting foreign lands. But still, it’s pretty cool to see that they are writing about TripIt on the other side of the world!
Hi,
I'm a user from India and I thought I couldn't send email to plans@tripit.com because Jet Airways is not listed in the supported airlines list. However, when I entered the information manually, to my surprise, the software understood the airline and gave departure and arrival stations for the flight number, which I assume would mean that you do support the airline, then why not mention it in the supported airlines list.

Hi, Sachendra. Good question, so thanks for asking it. They really are two different things. TripIt needs to build support for each airline's booking confirmation email format individually. But there are centralized databases where we can access all airline schedules quite easily. So that's why you see us automatically retrieve info when you manually enter a flight -- as long as it's included in our schedule database, it's easy for us to find.
