Itinerary Trackers/Consolidators
Since I book my own travel, I struggle trying to keep my various air and hotel reservations in on place.
I've recently found tripit.com and found it to be very cool and helpful. Does anyone have other similar tools or suggestions?

I have used mytrip.com before and find it very simple and quite accurate when deciphering United.bombs confirmation emails.

Adam-- I tried mytrip, but it looked like to much work to setup.
Frek-- This is the best that I've seen so far. Only takes a single email to start it and it reads every rez system that I use.
Only wish that I was using Outlook 2007 so I could stream the calendar.

Here's a thread from TravelBuzz with a long list of travel-related websites. If the one you found isn't already there, you may wish to add it. In the meantime, I'll send this over to TravelBuzz! since it's not specific to UA.

Ditto. Those travel itinerary trackers look nice but aren't easily accessible when I'm standing at a hotel check-in or needing to put my code into an airline or train ticket kiosk.
I carry each reservation printed out in a simple folder file that stays in my day pack. A second copy of everything is kept in my main bag. Then a PDF copy is attached to a GMail message, and/or I have PDF's on whatever laptop or PDA device I'm traveling with.
A tad paranoid, but that information easily accessible from multiple locations is good insurance. So in that respect, I suppose a site like those listed above where you can add all that info to a nice, printable itinerary would have some benefit. But I like my way, it works for me. As I finish with one reservation, I rip it up and throw it away and then I've one less document to carry to the next stop.
