A former colleague of mine has launched a travel aggregation website.

I've been using it for a few months, helping get most of the bugs out, and have found it to be helpful and easy to use. You send itineraries in for airline, hotel, car rental, iand it puts everything together on one itinerary.

It sends alerts if flights are delayed, and can suggest alternate flights.

It told me my CO flight from LHR was delayed before CO did.

Disclosure: I have no monetary involvement in this, was only an alpha tester.

The URL above is borken (too many i).
www.tripchill.com should work.

Thanks for posting the correct URL. I fixed it in the original post.

I've reviewed a similar product from TripIt recently, was solicited to try a competing product from www.poseeq.com and just tried reproducing the same itinerary with TripChill.

TripIt was, by FAR, the best solution out there. Poseeq had issues returning the calendar items to my Google Apps domain email address and managed to confuse JFK & LGA, which I've never done in real life (knock on wood), but I could see that being a problem.

I forwarded two airline and one hotel reservation to TripChill and it only got three of the five flights in the first air reservation and didn't respond at all to the other two emails. It also got details on two of the flights that it did read wrong.

I give them a lot of credit for integrating a booking engine within the site in an effort to actually make some money with the site, though I don't like the annoying reminder across the top of the page reminding me to give them my CC info. And the alternate flight search tool is pretty slick. VERY cool, actually.

I just noticed in the very fine print that they aren't supporting international travel completely yet, so that may be why mine failed.I am intrigued by the inbound flight tracking that they say they can do, and the overall concept is great, but I think that it is still a bit shy of being fully baked and usable.


ETA: it seems that maybe I was just impatient. It added my second set of flights just now, so it is processing things but slowly. And it doesn't seem to offer any real details or drill-down on the individual reservations, which is something TripIt does very well, but at least it eventually got most of my flights figured out.

ETA2: I actually got an email from a human that they couldn't process my hotel autmatically because it was an international city. A+ for effort, but still a B- on implementation so far.
