Getting bookings in
Forward the confirmation email. Your personal forwarding address is on the home page and in Settings. Forward any flight, hotel, car, train or activity confirmation to it, from any email account. Tripperoo reads it, usually within a minute, and adds it to the right trip. If the dates don’t fit an existing trip, it starts a new one.
Forward automatically. You can set a rule in your email app to forward bookings to your Tripperoo address. A rule won’t catch every booking, so check your trips are complete. If Gmail asks to confirm the address, the confirmation shows in Settings.
Upload a PDF from the home page for tickets and vouchers that came as files rather than emails. You can open it from the booking, and only you and the trip’s owner can see it. Scans and photos of tickets can’t be read yet; forward the email instead.
Add something by hand: a booking with Add a booking on a trip’s Itinerary tab, a plan with Add to this day on its Day Plan tab, or an idea with Add to wishlist. New trip on the home page starts a trip before anything is booked.
Staying somewhere you didn’t book? When a trip says No hotel for some nights, choose Staying somewhere free? on that note and pick your own place, friends or family, or somewhere else free. It’s added to that trip for those nights, with an address if you want it on the map. Tripperoo doesn’t ask about nights in your home city. It guesses your home city from where your trips start, and you can set it in Settings.
When an email isn’t recognized
Emails Tripperoo couldn’t turn into a booking go to Unfiled, which appears in the top bar when there’s something in it. From there you can move an email into a trip or dismiss it. If a booking you expected is missing, forward the email again or add it by hand, and tell us which company sent it so we can teach Tripperoo to read it.
Fair-use limits
Tripperoo is free, with limits a normal traveler won’t reach: 20 forwarded emails a day and 300 in 30 days, and 20 PDF uploads in 30 days, each up to 10 MB. Past a limit, forwarded emails are still kept and appear in Unfiled with a note, so nothing is lost.
Tripperoo is free today. We may add a paid plan later for new features that cost us money to run.
Fixing a wrong detail
Tripperoo reads emails automatically and can get things wrong. Open the booking’s menu (···) and choose Edit to change any field. Always check times and dates against the airline or hotel before you travel.
Things to check on a trip
A trip lists what doesn’t add up yet under Things to check. Choose Show to jump to the booking it’s about.
- How do you get there? One booking ends somewhere and the next starts somewhere else, with nothing booked in between, like landing at the airport with a hotel across town.
- Was one cancelled or changed? One flight lands in one country and the next leaves from another, so they can’t both have happened as booked. Mark the old booking as cancelled from its menu, or forward the new confirmation.
Nights with no hotel are a note, not something to check. See Staying somewhere you didn’t book? above.
Merging and splitting trips
- Merge: on the home page, choose Merge trips and pick the two trips that belong together.
- Split: on a trip page, open the trip menu (··· Trip), choose Split this trip, and pick the bookings to move into a new trip.
Sharing a trip
On a trip page, open Travelers, add someone, then choose Copy invite link from their menu and send it to them. Once they sign in through the link they can see the trip’s itinerary, day plans and expenses. Set them to Can edit to let them change bookings, plans and expenses too; only you can share, merge, split or delete the trip.
On a flight day
From a day before a flight, its trip opens on the day as one line: when to leave, when to be at the airport, each flight and landing, how you get on from there, and the car or hotel you go to, with codes and addresses to copy. The time to leave gets you to the airport 3 hours before an international flight or 2 hours before a domestic one. It adds the travel time from the hotel you stay in before the flight. It uses the route you added, or an estimate from the distance. With no hotel before it, it shows when to be at the airport. Gates and baggage belts aren’t shown, because booking emails don’t include them. The “Time to leave” email reminder in Settings uses the same time.
Your calendar
In Settings, the calendar feed gives you a private link that keeps all your trips in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. It updates when bookings change. Anyone with the link can see your itinerary, so if it leaks, regenerate it there.
Your data
- Export: download everything tied to your account from Settings.
- Delete your account: also in Settings. Everything is permanently removed after a 7-day grace period.
- Forwarded emails are deleted after 60 days. An uploaded PDF stays with its bookings until 30 days after the trip. See the Privacy Policy for the rest.
