24 Jun   |   Author: Andrey Deriabin  |  Category: Air Travel, ArrivedOK News, Flight Trackers, Travel Apps

Dear beta testers,

As you know, we’ve cancelled the limitation on the number of tracking records for the public beta period. Now you can track as many your arrivals as you want (actually, there’s 20 tracking records limitation, but we think it’s quite enough even for frequent flyers).

We also decided to extend the public beta testing of ArrivedOK until 30 August 2009. Please don’t forget that 100 beta testers, who submit us most valuable from our point of view feedback will win 1-year free ArrivedOK subscription!

And one more thing: the long-awaited ArrivedOK US is coming soon!

Two great traveler’s tools work together: ArrivedOK integrates with TripIt

26 May   |   Author: Andrey Deriabin  |  Category: Air Travel, Applications, ArrivedOK News, Travel, Travel Apps, Web 2.0

  • “Can I import trips from TripIt so I don’t have to fill everything in?”
  • “Linking to tripit.com – that would be really magic.”
  • “I use www.tripit.com for all my travels. Please use their RSS feed to create records for me.”

These are quotes from our beta-testers’ emails.

Following these requests we want to announce that ArrivedOK has just integrated with TripIt and made the import of flight records stored in TripIt available to its users. You can find that option at ‘Create event‘ page. It is really a one-click feature. Please check it out and let us know what you think about it.

Now ArrivedOK can import flight information from your TripIt

About TripIt

With today’s myriad of travel sites, even the most experienced traveler has their hands full managing all the details of a typical trip. Booking airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and restaurants leaves you with lots of separate pieces of paper. Throw in maps, directions, things to do, and weather and the chaos multiplies.

TripIt turns chaos into order by making it easy for anyone to:

  • Organize trip details into one master online itinerary — even if arrangements are booked at multiple travel sites
  • Automatically include maps, directions and weather in their master itinerary
  • Have the option to book restaurants, theatre tickets, activities and more right from within the online itinerary
  • Safely access travel plans online, share them, check-in for flights, or print an itinerary
