Your whole trip on one calendar.

Every flight, hotel and taxi in the right time zone — and a warning before anything clashes.

No card needed. Your first trip takes a few minutes.

A week of a South America trip on the Big Trip Planner calendar: a flight from Sydney to Santiago drawn across the night, then hotels, taxis and outings in La Paz and Uyuni, each day on its own clock.
How it works

Three steps, and the calendar does the rest.

You type in what you have booked. Big Trip Planner puts it on the right day at the right local time, and tells you when two things cannot both happen.

1

Add your bookings

Flights, hotels, trains, taxis and the things you want to do. Type a flight number and the form fills itself in.

The Add Journey form with Flight chosen: a flight number box, a date, and a button that fills the form from that flight.
2

It lays them out in the right time zones

Each day runs on the clock of the place you are in. A flight is drawn at its true length, and the clock changes the moment you land.

Three calendar columns: a Sydney morning, an overnight flight with a minus 14 hours capsule, and the arrival in La Paz on local time.
3

It warns you before anything clashes

When the next booking is somewhere else and nothing takes you there, an orange warning shows the distance. Click it to add the taxi, walk or bus.

Orange transfer warnings above and below a morning market visit, each showing the distance to cover.
Time zones

Leave on Friday night. Land on Friday morning.

A flight from Sydney to Rarotonga crosses the date line, so you land before you took off. Big Trip Planner draws the flight at its real length and starts a new clock when you land, so 09:00 on the calendar is 09:00 on your watch.

Overnight flights are drawn across the night, not squashed into one day. You can see how long you are in the air and what time it will be when you get there.

SYD 21:30 → RAR 06:35 · −21h on the clock
A Friday in Sydney next to the same Friday in Rarotonga: the Jetstar flight leaves at 21:30 and the capsule reads minus 21 hours, lands 06:35.
The gaps between bookings

It knows where you will be each hour.

Your hotel is on one side of the island and the market is on the other. Nothing on the calendar gets you there, so Big Trip Planner shows an orange warning with the distance. Click it, choose a taxi, bus, walk or cycle, and the journey goes on the calendar with its travel time.

If the taxi takes 35 minutes and you only have 20, it says so in plain words — before you are standing on the kerb.

Travelling together

One calendar for everyone on the trip. Plus

Invite the people travelling with you. You send the link yourself, by text or WhatsApp. They see the same calendar you do.

When someone wants to change the plan, it becomes a proposal and everyone votes. Two days of silence counts as a yes. Trip news keeps the record, so nobody wonders who moved the beach day.

Invite · propose · vote · Trip news
The Invite someone box: a one-use link to copy and send yourself.
Trip news: four proposals from Trevor, three agreed and one declined, each with a place to reply.
On paper

Print the whole trip as a list.

The inventory page is your trip day by day: every booking with its times, the sunrise and sunset, and the travel between things. One button prints it or saves it as a PDF, so the plan is in your pocket when there is no signal.
