A family trip planner the whole family can see.
The train time, the people coming, the things still to do. Keep the moving parts of a family trip together so getting away feels a little less like a one-person operation.

Plan family holidays together.
There is the place you are going, of course. And then there is who is going, when you are leaving, what you hope to do and what still needs sorting out. It adds up quickly.
Trips gives those details a shared place: a trip with participants, an itinerary, tasks and linked files. The plan can be useful to the people travelling, not just the person who made it.
Keep travel details in one place.
Whether it is a long weekend or a visit across town, start with the details that matter.
Name the trip
Keep the destination and the people coming together in one trip.
Lay out the days
Use an itinerary for the places, times and ideas you want to remember.
Get ready to leave
Add items to the trip’s packing list, see what is packed, and keep related tasks and files nearby.
Shared packing lists for every trip.
Keep the useful parts in sight without pretending that organising the trip books it for you.
- Who is coming?Keep the trip participants together before you settle the details.
- What happens when?Put arrival, activities and departure into the trip itinerary.
- What still needs doing?Check the trip packing list, related jobs and useful booking files.
Pack together, one item at a time
Add raincoats, chargers and snacks to the trip’s packing list. You can assign items to people and mark them packed as you get ready. For other shopping or household reminders, use a separate shared family list.
The document has its own place, too
Keep a booking or travel document in Family Files, then link the relevant file to the trip. The itinerary answers “where are we going?”; the file answers “where is the booking?”
The bags are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Inside each trip, add the items you need to pack, assign them to a traveller and mark them packed as you go. That trip packing list lives with the destination and itinerary. Need a starting point? Try the free family holiday packing list; it stays in this browser and does not import into a trip. For groceries and other everyday needs, use shared family lists instead.
Keep the booking confirmation in Family Files and link it to the trip. Make a task for the jobs that need finishing before departure; no booking service or automatic packing is implied.
Jobs to do before you leave.
With the trip’s packing list, tasks and linked files together, the family can check what is packed and what remains without asking one person to recite the whole plan.
Family trip planner FAQs
Does each trip have its own packing list?
Yes. Add packing items inside a trip, assign them to people and mark them packed. The separate shared family lists are for other household needs.
What lives inside a trip?
A trip can bring together its participants, itinerary, packing list, related tasks and linked files.
Can I keep a booking document with the trip?
You can link relevant files to a trip, so a document in your family space stays close to the plan it belongs to.
Is Trips a booking service?
No. Trips is a place to organise your family’s plans and related details, not to book travel.
More looking forward. Less looking for the tickets.
