During travel, I'm using TripIt much less these days.

The main drawback of JUST using Google Now is the lack of manual control... you can't take a look at an itinerary a week out, for example. Another big drawback is that Google Now doesn't seem to pick up on cancellations... I often make plans months out, especially hotels, and then change them multiple times in the time in between... this leads to 3 or 4 false cards on day-of-travel because it's displaying EVERYTHING I've booked, including EVERYTHING I've also canceled. This tends to be an even bigger problem with leisure travel as I book and re-book as I incrementally find better deals/values or refine dates/destinations/plans.
I've found that you need to delete any email that has changed or cancelled in order for it not to show in your cards.
