How to keep your travel itinerary on your phone

Short answer

Put the trip’s flights, stays, and trains in its Plan on Trips. Forward each confirmation email to trips@roamwellapp.com from your booking email, and it lands in the Plan. You can also add items with Add to plan or import a calendar file.

If you forward confirmations to TripIt today, this is the same habit: one forward, and the booking shows up in the trip.

Set up forwarding once

  1. Sign in to Roamwell.
  2. In Settings, tap Booking email. Under Forward bookings it shows trips@roamwellapp.com and the email you signed in with.
  3. Book from another inbox? Enter it under Forward from another email and tap Verify address. When Roamwell asks you to “Send a message from that inbox” with a Roamwell-claim subject, send it. That proves the address is yours.
  4. Forward a confirmation from your email to trips@roamwellapp.com.
  5. “Hide My Email” won’t work as a sender. Add your real email, or use your private address.

Booking email also shows Your private address. Tap the copy button next to it and give it to the airline or hotel as your email when you book. Use it when you book with Hide My Email, or when you want confirmations to skip your inbox.

Where a forwarded booking lands

If it fits a trip you have, it goes into that trip’s Plan. If it doesn’t, Roamwell asks Create a new trip? Tap Create trip, or Keep unfiled to leave it under Unfiled on Trips until you file it.

Add the rest by hand

  1. On Trips, tap Create a trip. Give it a name and dates.
  2. Tap Add to plan and choose what it is: a flight, a stay, a car, a cruise, or an activity. Fill in what you know. The rest can wait.
  3. Got a calendar invite or a Roamwell plan file? Tap Import plan.

If a new item overlaps a trip you already have, Roamwell asks Same trip? so you don’t end up with two copies of Lisbon.

On the day

When today is inside the trip’s dates, Roamwell offers Start a Trip. Trips then shows what’s next and where you’re staying tonight. Around Me opens Apple Maps near you.

What Roamwell does with a booking

The forwarding address
trips@roamwellapp.com, from a booking email you proved in Settings.
A booking that fits no trip
Roamwell asks whether to create a trip. Keep unfiled leaves it under Unfiled on Trips.
After the planned dates
Roamwell asks before moving the trip to Past trips. It never files the trip away on its own.
