When to use it

Once your main bookings are made

Step by step

  1. Find the confirmation emails

    Search your inbox for words like 'booking confirmation', 'itinerary' or 'reservation', and give each one a label or folder named after the trip.

  2. Build a summary

    Copy the key parts of each email (remove payment card details) into your AI assistant with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyHere are my booking confirmations for a trip to [destination]: [paste text]. Create a single trip summary in date order with: date and time (local time), what it is, booking reference, address, check-in or check-out times, what's included, cancellation deadline and contact number. Then list anything missing, like a transfer from the airport on [date], and anything with a tight connection.
  3. Save it for offline use

    Paste the summary into a Google Docs or Word file and make it available offline, or save it as a PDF on your phone.

  4. Check your calendar

    Gmail can add flight and hotel bookings to Google Calendar automatically if it's turned on in settings; otherwise, add the key times yourself.
