Plan travel between places

Use Journey planner from the trip's ⋯ menu to see travel in route order, including getting to and returning from the holiday. You can also plan the journey to the next place from Edit trip.

Save a journey

  1. Choose Plan travel or Edit services and times.
  2. Select the travel mode and departure and arrival places.
  3. Add a service reference, such as a train number, if known.
  4. Enter the available dates, local times or estimated duration.
  5. Use Add leg for connections, then save.

Different legs can use different modes. A flight followed by a train can be one journey. A successful save closes the popup; validation errors keep your entries available to correct.

Times are local to their departure and arrival places. Check the named timezones in the editor, especially across midnight or daylight-saving changes. Reading views hide timezone names when their offsets match at the travel times, and show next-day or previous-day indicators where needed.

A route estimate is a planning aid. Apply it explicitly and save the journey; it does not confirm a service, seat, connection or timetable. Manual entry remains available when an estimate cannot be obtained.

Match the first place to your arrival

For travel to the first place, use Getting to in Edit trip or open the journey in Journey planner. Enter every connection before saving. In Plan, saving active travel with a final arrival date moves the dated first segment to that local arrival date. For several flight legs, it uses the last leg's arrival.

The first segment keeps its duration. Its accommodation and itinerary dates move with it where permitted, along with following segments that were directly connected in the schedule. Intentional gaps remain. Pinned dates can block the save; review the named dates before editing or unpinning them. Missing final arrival or an undated first segment does not automatically set its dates.

If an existing trip still starts its first place before your flights arrive, check the final arrival and save the incoming journey again, or edit the first segment's start date. You do not need to reset all transport just to correct this.

Change the route after saving transport

Reordering segments can remove their linked journeys after you confirm the warning, including incoming and outgoing travel. Accommodation and itinerary entries are kept, but check their revised dates against your bookings. Use Journey planner or Edit services and times to plan the affected journeys again. See segment ordering and gap repair before using the whole-trip reset.

Keep service research together

Use Add research or Edit research for timetable and operator links, preparation notes and an optional Check booking on date. That date is a reminder on the page, not an email or push notification.

Search links open external services using your saved route details. Check the service and date yourself before booking. Nothing to plan lets you set a journey aside without deleting its saved research or financial history.

Add an optional cost

From Plan, Owners and Planners can expand each leg's Cost section:

  • No estimate leaves it outside financial tracking.
  • Own estimate records an amount and currency, either Overall or Per traveller.
  • Covered by an existing purchase shares a ticket or pass already in the budget.
  • Covered by previous leg uses the preceding leg's purchase when it has one, including a cost entered in the same form.

A shared purchase counts once across all its legs. Its booking and payments also stay together. Edit the shared price in Trip budget; the app does not split it between journeys.

A blank Own estimate means the price is unknown. Zero means free. Per traveller uses the checked travellers on the trip. Saving travel saves its cost changes too. A changed price updates an existing unpaid agreement; any payment history protects that agreement. Blank estimates and cancellation decisions are left alone, and recorded payments never change.

Protected bookings or payment history can prevent removing a leg or changing its cost association. Review the booking record rather than trying to hide its history.
