Trip planning features
Every tool you need to plan a trip with friends and family, from the first idea to the day you fly home — all of it completely free.
Plan every destination, night and stay in one place
Map out the whole journey on the Plan page. Add each destination, set how many nights you stay, attach accommodation, and watch the budget split itself per stop. Multi-city routes, transport between stops and a readiness checklist keep the big picture clear — then open any stop's day-by-day itinerary to fill in the details.

- Stays, transport and budget per destination
- Readiness checklist for the whole trip

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and plan by asking
LetsPackUp speaks MCP, so the AI assistant you already pay for can work directly in your trips. Paste one address into Claude or ChatGPT, tick what it may do and which trips it may see, then just ask. Hand it a booking confirmation and it fills in the flight, the hotel, the times and the cost; ask it to plan a day and it writes the itinerary your whole group sees. We don't supply the AI — you bring the one you already use.
- Works with Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP app
- Every permission is yours to grant or take back
- See everything it has done, and disconnect in one click
