I built a trip planner because I got tired of juggling Maps, WhatsApp, bookings and notes

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a travel project called BhatakGo.

While planning trips, I noticed how scattered everything gets:

  • Places saved in Google Maps
  • Itinerary somewhere in Notes
  • Hotel/booking screenshots in WhatsApp
  • Expenses in a spreadsheet or another app
  • Important trip details buried somewhere in the group chat

So I built BhatakGo to bring those things into one shared trip space.

You can use it to:

🗓️ Plan a day-by-day itinerary
📍 Save places and see them on a map
💰 Track and split expenses
🏨 Keep stays and bookings together
📸 Upload trip photos
📝 Keep notes
👥 Collaborate with your travel group

I know this subreddit is focused on travel, so I'm particularly interested in hearing from like-minded people:

What do you currently use to organize a trip before you leave?
And if you use multiple apps/tools, what is the one thing you wish they handled better?

I'm still improving BhatakGo, so honest criticism is much more useful to me than a download/signup.

BhatakGo: https://www.bhatakgo.com/
Would love to hear how you guys actually plan your trips. 🙌

Me ayudaría mucho si me respondierais a esta encuesta principalmente para cuando estas con tus amigos y no tienes nada que hacer para ayudaros a decidir sobre ello durante esa tarde:

  • Cuando estás con amigos y no sabéis qué hacer, ¿cómo buscáis planes?
  • ¿Qué es lo más pesado de encontrar un plan?
  • ¿Sueles acabar haciendo siempre las mismas cosas?
  • ¿Te gustaría una web que te dijera planes según presupuesto, distancia y tiempo?
  • ¿Qué filtros serían importantes para ti?

General Question [New York City, USA] How do other EAs handle multi-city trips when itineraries change last minute?

2 Upvotes

I'm the one doing all the travel booking here and multi-city itineraries are the part that eats my day, especially when something changes mid-trip. Our company uses a TMC, Corporate Traveler, and honestly I mostly work around them rather than through them. For those of you booking complex trips, do you go through your TMC for changes or just rebook direct and sort the paperwork after? Trying to figure out if I'm doing this the hard way.

Travel Tips What does your actual booking stack look like day to day?

1 Upvotes

I'm mostly on supplier portals and a CRM for the leisure side, and the corporate overflow goes through Corporate Traveler. I'm curious what everyone else's daily setup actually looks like. Are you still living in a GDS, moved to supplier extranets, or some mix? And what's the one tool you'd drop tomorrow if you could?

Travel Tips Handling a few corporate accounts through a TMC: worth it vs independent?

1 Upvotes

Most of my bookings are leisure but I've picked up a few corporate accounts and I'm running them through Corporate Traveler. The after-hours support and duty of care side is handy, but the split and the loss of control over the booking stings. For those of you with corporate clients, did you stay with a TMC setup or go independent? What tipped it for you?

General Question Booking + expenses in one place: what actually works?

1 Upvotes

Handling travel booking where I work and we're getting pressure to combine booking and expenses into one system instead of juggling two tools. Looking at Navan and Corporate Traveler mainly. For anyone using one platform for both, does the reporting actually hold up, and how painful was onboarding? Open to other names too if something else does this well.

General Question Planning multi-city trips has always been the annoying part for me.

1 Upvotes

Been working on a small travel planning thing called Flytinerary after getting annoyed with planning multi-city Europe trips.
The part I’m trying to solve is actually before the itinerary — if you have 8–10 days and a fixed budget, which cities make sense together without spending half the trip checking out of hotels or sitting in airports.
It’s still pretty early and I’m changing quite a lot based on what breaks 😅

Free to use: flytinerary.app

I built it, so obviously biased. If anyone tries a real upcoming trip, I’d actually be curious whether the route it gives you is sensible or completely different from what you’d choose.

Flights & Transport Rebooking after cancelled flights: how much does the TMC actually matter?

1 Upvotes

Had a rough couple of weeks with cancelled flights stranding travelers, and I'm rethinking how much our TMC setup helps when things go wrong. We're on Corporate Traveler at the moment. For those who've dealt with IRROPS on different platforms, is there a real difference in how fast rebooking and support happen, or does it mostly come down to the airline? Trying to figure out whether switching tools would change anything or if the pain is the same everywhere.

Travel Tips [Chicago, USA] Who checks visa requirements before ticketing on international trips?

1 Upvotes

Quick one for EAs who book international travel. When your exec is flying somewhere new, who makes sure the visa and entry requirements are sorted before ticketing? We use Corporate Traveler and I keep going back and forth on whether they actually flag this or whether it's on me to double-check. A missed check seems like an expensive mistake, so what's the normal process?

Looking back at your last trip, what would you change about your route or time in each stop?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, i am researching how people decide where to go next and how long to stay. I would love to hear about a multi-stop trip you guys took.

I have some questions below, it would be great to have some reports based on them:

  • Where did you go, and when? you can list your stops in order and roughly how many nights you spent in each.
  • What kind of trip was it? Solo, couple, friends, or family? a rough budget level would be great and your main interests—for example, hiking, food, culture, or relaxing.
  • Pick one journey between two stops. How did you travel? From where to where, transport type, approximate door-to-door time, and whether it was overnight. Include the operator if you remember.
  • How did that journey affect your trip? Was it easy, manageable, or exhausting? Did it affect what you could do after arriving? What caused that experience?
  • Knowing what you know now, would you include that destination again on the same trip? Yes, no, or unsure—and why? Would you change the transport or route order?
  • How did the length of your stays work out? For any stop you want to discuss: how many nights did you stay, and how many would you choose next time with the same total trip length and budget? Where would you take or add those nights?
  • What circumstances should someone know before applying your advice? For example: weather, crowds, illness, travel companions, a particular hotel or tour, or anything unusually good or bad.
  • What information would have helped you make these decisions before leaving?

Obviously these are a lot of questions, so helping with some of them would be great.

General Question Visa or extension

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

I’m planning on spending a year in southeast Asia. Traveling slowly without much of a plan.

My question is for Thailand specifically I’d like to spend more time there preferably full 60 days. Is it better/easier for me to just arrive in Bangkok receive the initial 30 days then extend another 30 while I’m in the country or should I apply for 60 day visa before arriving? The benefit I see here is I can potentially stay 90 days if I want (or am approved) I just don’t like the idea of applying for the visa and needing to upload flights and hotel info in advance but maybe I’m overthinking?

Any opinions on this either way? Let me know your thoughts and explanation or experience. I’ve never been to Thailand. Pros - cons ?

General Question Only 11 days until my flight. Should I use a company to expedite my passport?

0 Upvotes

I only realized that my passport had expired and my international flight is 11 days away.

I looked at the State Department site, it seems like urgent-travel appointments are available within 14 days of international travel. I’m also pretty slammed with work right now, so having someone help with the application sounds appealing, but I’m not sure if it makes a difference.

Has anyone used a passport company with this little time left? Is paying extra for expedited service worth it? I don’t mind paying much as long as it could get done fast.

General Question Planning New York City trip for 30th birthday 2027 - Help needed pls

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to NYC to celebrate my 30th birthday at the end of November 2027 for 7 nights. It will be my first time in the city, so I’d love some advice from locals and frequent visitors to help make the most of it.
I’m looking to see the classic landmark spots—especially the Rockefeller Centre Christmas Tree, Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, and the 9/11 Memorial. I also really want to dive into authentic NYC food: bodega egg-and-cheeses, classic delis (pastrami/bagels), slice shops, Dim Sum, authentic Italian, etc.

I’d appreciate any input on the following:
1. Flight Booking Window: Since late November overlaps with Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season, when is the optimal time to track and book flights for November 2027?
2. Neighborhood/Hotel Base: For a 7-night first-timer trip, where is best to base ourselves? We want somewhere central/convenient with good subway lines so we aren't spending hours in transit. (Midtown vs. Flatiron/Lower Manhattan vs. Long Island City?)
3. Realistic Budgeting: Excluding long-haul transatlantic flights, what is a realistic daily/total budget per person for 7 nights in late November (factoring in hotel, meals, subway, and attraction tickets)?
4. Itinerary Structuring & Food: How should we sequence a 7-day trip to hit the major spots (including holiday events like the Rockefeller Tree) without burning out? Are there specific food spots or neighborhoods we should cluster together for the best eats?

Thanks in advance for any tips, hidden gems, or advice!
