Travel plans can be meticulously laid out, but the unexpected still happens. From weather events, and airline labor strikes, to technical outages, unforeseen disruptions can significantly impact your trip. TripIt Pro App Risk Alerts for Travelers

TripIt Pro Risk Alerts aim to mitigate that stress, providing proactive notifications to help you navigate potential travel headaches and minimize the impact on your plans.

What are TripIt Pro Risk Alerts?

TripIt Pro Risk Alerts notify you when a potential disruption may impact your trip—even before it results in a flight delay or cancellation. These proactive alerts keep you in the know, so you can make informed decisions and stay agile as unexpected situations arise.

You’ll receive Risk Alerts as push notifications on your mobile device. Within the app, find them in the Alerts tab or as indicators next to the affected travel plan in your trip timeline and with your flight details. When you tap the alert, you’ll be shown more details about the alert, so you can learn more. This information comes from TripIt’s partner Riskline.

“TripIt will now be able to help travelers stay informed about relevant disruptions and empower them with the most up-to-date information during their trip.” – Suzanne Sangiovese, Director of Travel and Technology at Riskline

While other apps give you alerts about flight-specific details—like delays, cancellations, or gate changes—TripIt Pro Risk Alerts provides a fuller perspective, covering incidents in the bigger picture that may affect your trip. Other travelers may know that their flight is delayed, but TripIt Pro travelers may know the why, the how—and the details you need to respond.

How do the Risk Alerts work?

TripIt Pro’s Risk Alerts use sophisticated monitoring systems that track a wide range of factors, including:

• Weather patterns: Significant storms, snow, or other extreme weather events that could cause delays or cancellations.
• Airline operations: Potential strikes, staffing shortages, or technical issues with specific airlines.
• Airport disruptions: Ground control problems, security delays, or infrastructure problems at airports.

This information is analyzed to assess the potential impact on your flights and itinerary. You’ll then receive alerts through push notifications on your phone and in the TripIt app, often before the disruptions are publicly announced.

What events will I receive alerts about?

TripIt Pro Risk Alerts will monitor incidents that affect airports and airlines in your itinerary, over the dates of your flight(s), including:

• Weather events, such as thunderstorms, snowstorms, and tornados
• Political unrest and protests
• Labor action (e.g., strikes)
• Communication and technology outages
• Airport incidents, like scheduled runway maintenance or emergency closures

In the future, we hope to expand incident monitoring to other parts of your itinerary like restaurant reservations, meetings, and more.

“I’m thrilled to expand our partnership with TripIt and add real-time Risk Alerts to their product offering,” said Suzanne Sangiovese, Director of Travel and Technology at Riskline. “TripIt will now be able to help travelers stay informed about relevant disruptions and empower them with the most up-to-date information during their trip. I am certain that TripIt will continue to go above and beyond for its customers and keep helping travelers adapt to evolving world events. Being part of that is inspiring and aligns fully with our mission.” 

With timely information at your fingertips, you can be better prepared for the next step in your itinerary—whether that’s showing up to the airport early, rescheduling your flight, or doing more research into alternate plans. Risk Alerts might be the breaking news you need to keep your next trip on track.

Why are TripIt Pro Risk Alerts valuable?

• Time savings: Make informed decisions to reschedule or rearrange flights quickly, saving you time and frustration.
• Mental ease: Minimize the stress and uncertainty that come with unexpected travel disruptions by having early warnings.
