Open the travel itinerary templatePut your trip dates at the top
Write your destination, travel dates, and lodging address. If you change hotels during the trip, note where you’ll sleep on each day.
Enter the bookings with fixed times
Start with flights, trains, hotel check-in, and anything with a timed reservation. Save each confirmation where you can find it and put a short reference beside the entry.
Give each day one main plan
Choose the activity you’d most like to do and place it near the other stops for that day. Add flexible ideas nearby if you have room.
Leave time between stops
Look at the route between your plans. Allow time for transfers, meals, and arrival delays, and keep a backup idea for outdoor days.
Share a copy you can open offline
Send the itinerary to your group and save a copy on your phone. Keep the bookings themselves in an offline folder if you might need them during the trip.
