TripIt Pro Takes the Hassle Out of Getting to Your Gate

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TripIt® from Concur®, the world's highest-rated travel-organizing app, released interactive airport maps that give travelers everything they need to quickly and easily find their way through the airport. The new TripIt Pro feature allows travelers to search for what's available at the airport and get step-by-step walking directions that include an estimate of how long it'll take to get there.

"Airports can be overwhelming, especially when you're rushing to board a flight," said Jen Moyse, director of product at TripIt from Concur. "Whether you're trying to make a connecting flight or looking for something to eat before you take off, TripIt Pro will make sure you never wander around lost in an airport again."

With TripIt Pro's newly enhanced airport maps, travelers can pull up easy-to-follow directions between any two points in an airport. This includes navigating a terminal, finding a departure gate, and airport amenities -- such as restaurants, charging stations, ATMs, restrooms, and more. The maps also show walking times, and other useful information that makes it easier for travelers to:

    --  Go from security to gate: Quickly find the fastest route to the
        departure gate after getting through security.
    --  Make a tight connection: See how long it'll take to get from gate to
        gate, or from one terminal to the next, with directions that show the
        most direct route.
    --  Find the best dining options: Search for restaurants, bars or cafes, and
        TripIt Pro will show what's available, what's open and exactly how much
        time it should take to get there -- taking the guesswork out of deciding
        where to go.

Airport maps are shown for each leg of a trip, including departure, arrival and layover airports, and can be found within the flight-details screen in the TripIt mobile app. The new interactive airport maps are available for more than 50 airports worldwide and require internet access.

While TripIt organizes travel plans in one place for free, a subscription to TripIt Pro ($49/year) is required to access the new feature. To learn more about how TripIt Pro can help you stay one step ahead, visit www.TripIt.com/pro.
