Concur Says TripIt Now Makes It Easier For Travelers To Share Trip Details

(RTTNews) - Concur Technologies, Inc. (CNQR) Monday said its all-in-one travel organizer TripIt now makes it easier for travelers to share specific trip details and flight status alerts on the go, with family, friends and colleagues.

TripIt's update coincides with the first in its new series of 2014 travel and technology trends research, which shows an increased demand for mobile devices on the road.

More travelers plan to buy smartphones and tablets than laptops in 2014, which correlates with the FAA's ruling allowing gate-to-gate use of mobile devices.

To easily communicate travel plans and stay connected on the go, TripIt users can select an individual trip item - such as a flight, hotel, restaurant reservation, meeting or other activity - and share it via email or text message from their mobile device.

Messages are pre-populated with vital travel details, and users can add personal notes.

Dan Hoffer, Head of Product, said, "Nobody wants to be stranded on an airport curb at the end of a long trip. Now, you can easily text your arrival time, so your ride is waiting when you land."

TripIt Pro users can now share their flight status alerts with others to keep them instantly informed about delays, cancellations or on-time arrivals. Travelers can easily notify a colleague and adjust plans if they are going to be late for a meeting, the company noted.
