If you still map routes in Excel, you’re missing out on quicker wins—today’s travelers prefer AI itinerary planners for accuracy and speed.

1. Centralised Booking Inbox

Auto-sync all flight and hotel confirmations to one dashboard and watch the planner build your schedule in seconds.

2. Distance Optimisation

The algorithm reshuffles your stops to minimise back-tracking—critical in sprawling places like Taupo.

3. Budget Visibility

Live budget meters keep you from overspending on last-minute taxis and overpriced tours.
