Flights in one email, the Airbnb in another, the train ticket in an app. Here's how to gather every booking for a trip into one itinerary, and how RPlan reads them straight from your confirmation emails.
Overnight flights, clocks that change mid-trip and calendar apps that "helpfully" convert everything. Here's how to stop time zones scrambling your itinerary, and how RPlan keeps every time local.
Group trips fall apart in the group chat: lost links, double bookings and nobody sure what's actually planned. Here's how to plan a trip together, and how RPlan's shared trips keep everyone on one plan.
Too much on one day and nothing on the next. Here's how to plan realistic days, with time to get between things, and how RPlan's Suggest a day plans an empty day around what you've already got.
Most packing lists are rewritten from scratch for every trip. Here's how to build one you can reuse, keep under the airline's weight limit, and adapt for each trip, and how RPlan's packing library does it.
How RPlan compares with Wanderlog, TripIt and Roadtrippers on price, on planning the days, and on what the AI actually knows about your trip. Plus who each one suits best.
Wanderlog and RPlan both plan trips with the people you're going with. One has a free plan and a yearly Pro; the other charges £5 a trip. Here's how they differ, and who each one suits.
TripIt is excellent at gathering bookings from your email. RPlan reads them too, then puts them on the days with your own plans around them. How they differ on price and purpose, and who each one suits.
Four nights in Lisbon, the train north, three nights in Porto. A sample week planned in RPlan, with where to stay, how to get between the two cities, and how to keep the days from getting too full.
An email when a new guide goes up, and nothing else. No account needed, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Your first trip is free, with everything switched on. After that it's £5 a trip, paid once. No subscription.
