Extended Travel Planner

TRAVEL TOOLS BY JAMES & ROB

Plan the trip before you go. Keep using it while you travel.

Planning a longer or multi-stop trip means keeping track of far more than flights and hotels.

Routes, bookings, budgets, payment dates, activities, restaurant reservations, tasks and everyday travel details quickly end up spread across emails, spreadsheets, notes and different apps.

We created the Extended Travel Planner to bring those pieces together in one place.

Built for longer and multi-stop trips

The Extended Travel Planner is designed for trips with more moving parts.

  • Build a route across several destinations
  • Keep accommodation, transport, activities and restaurant bookings together
  • Track what you planned to spend and what you have actually booked
  • Manage bookings in different currencies
  • Keep an eye on unfinished tasks
  • See what is happening each day
  • Keep key trip details available offline while travelling

Keep the bookings that make up your trip together

Instead of digging through confirmation emails or trying to remember where you saved something, ETP keeps your booking details connected to the relevant part of your trip.

Add accommodation, flights, trains, buses, transfers, car hire, cruises, activities and restaurant reservations, along with dates, times, providers, costs and booking references.

Know what is happening today

Once you are travelling, the Daily Schedule brings your plans together by day.

See transport, hotel check-in and check-out, activities, restaurant reservations and other timed plans in the order they happen.

This is where ETP moves from being a planning tool to something you can actually use during the trip.

Take the important details with you

You will not always have reliable internet when you travel.

ETP lets you keep key trip and booking information available offline on your phone, including dates, times, providers and the details you are most likely to need while you are out and about.

Why we built it

We built ETP while planning our own long-term travels.

Our route, bookings, costs and travel details were spread across spreadsheets, emails and notes. We wanted one place that could help us organise the trip before we left and still be useful once we were on the road.

That became the Extended Travel Planner.

Is ETP right for you?

ETP could be a good fit if you:

  • are planning a longer trip
  • are visiting several destinations or countries
  • want bookings, money and planning tasks in one place
  • want something you can keep using while you travel
  • prefer a guided online planner rather than building your own system

Prefer a spreadsheet?

If you would rather manage everything yourself in Google Sheets, take a look at the James & Rob Ultimate Travel Workbook.
