A Free Travel Itinerary with ChatGPT and OpenAI

Planning trips used to be hard. You needed an idea of where to go and what to do before searching online. But now, chat AI, like ChatGPT, can help you plan your trip. This article walks you through how it all works, offering a template and introducing other Free AI Planners.

What Travel Itinerary AI Tools Do

In the past, planning trips was a challenge. You had to rely on guidebooks or seek advice from travel agents. Later, search engines and social media made it a bit easier, but creating a smooth itinerary, determining the best time to visit to avoid crowds, deciding how long to stay at each point, and figuring out what to do next still required a lot of effort.

Nowadays, things have changed. Travel AI tools have emerged, simplifying trip planning. They suggest activities for your journey using smart calculations to identify popular places, check prices, calculate distances between locations, and even recommend suitable transportation options with estimated travel times. These tools significantly save you time and effort in planning, allowing for a more streamlined and enjoyable travel experience.

How ChatGPT Helps With Itinerary Planning

If you are planning a travel trip, Chatgpt can assist in planning your itinerary. Here’s how and some prompt examples, when I plan my 5-Day trip to Calgary, Canada.

Initial Chat:

• 1st Prompt: I'm planning a 5-day trip to Calgary from Toronto. Can you create an itinerary in Calgary, considering traffic time and making it logical? Please ask for specific details like destinations, interests, transportation mode, departure and return times, and budget.

• ChatGPT will collect relevant details to design a day-by-day plan for your trip.

Suggestions:

• Based on what you tell Chatgpt, it will create an outline of your trip with a day-by-day plan based on your input.

Refinement:

• 2nd Prompt: Any essential spots missing from my itinerary?

• ChatGPT will suggest popular spots that are often visited to consider for inclusion in your itinerary.

• 3rd Prompt: Revise my itinerary to include spots A and B, removing spot C. Please ensure a logical schedule with sufficient time allocated for each spot, considering their respective opening and closing hours. 

• ChatGPT will modify the itinerary accordingly.

• 4th Prompt: Can you propose an alternative itinerary?

• ChatGPT will suggest a different itinerary with a rationale, allowing you to choose between the original and the alternative.

Dining and Culinary Experiences:

• 5th Prompt: Can you recommend dining options, including local specialties or popular eateries, that align with my culinary preferences? Consider factors like preferences for cuisine type (e.g., local, international), dietary restrictions, and desired dining atmosphere. The suggested restaurants should be accessible from the spots I am visiting in my itinerary.

• ChatGPT will provide tailored dining recommendations based on your preferences.

• 6th Prompt: Incorporate (Restaurants of Your Choice)  to my itinerary. Ensure a logical schedule with ample time for each spot. Consider also opening hours and closing hours of each spot.

• ChatGPT will update the itinerary accordingly.

Weather Considerations:

• 7th Prompt: Could you give me insights on the typical weather conditions during my travel dates? Also, suggest appropriate clothing and gear I should consider packing for the trip.

• ChatGPT will offer information on expected weather conditions and provide guidance on what clothing and gear to pack to ensure a comfortable trip.

Available Free AI Planner Tools

You can chat with Chatgpt and create an itinerary like consulting a travel agent. If you prefer a more straightforward style, you can also use other free AI planner tools. Try a few out to see which one works best for your vacation planning style.

Roam Around:

• To use Roam Around, you at least need a destination in mind. However, it’ll generate an itinerary in seconds, which you can then adjust based on your needs. It even provides links to websites and event booking pages so you can do more research.

Build AI Trip Planner:

• Build AI’s Trip Planner plans your travel itinerary using a basic set of information. Bear in mind, though, that there are only 1000 free uses per day, and they’re used up pretty quick. After these, you’ll need to pay or wait for the clock to reset.

Where To?:

• Where To AI asks you a few basic questions to filter down its results. For example, it’ll ask your budget and planned trip length before moving on to your desired continents and trip necessities. It then gives you a written explanation of its chosen destination along with an itinerary. However, its itineraries are a bit basic, so it’d be best to combine it with one of the other tools on this list.

Travel Moji:

• Travel Moji uses simple dropdown menus to help you plan for a trip. One feature it has over other AI platforms is the ability to set a busy or relaxed itinerary. You might find that other services really pack in events without considering travel time or how tired you’ll get! Travel Moji’s relaxed itinerary is great for those who like planning trips on the more easy-going side.

Trip Planner AI:

• Trip Planner AI is one of the most straightforward services. It asks how many people are going and where, along with the number of days you’re going for and your budget. Unlike other platforms, it allows you to put in a number rather than a general range. From there, it plans a fairly extensive itinerary for your destination. Of course, you can remove things as needed, but it gives you a details cost breakdown of everything it’s picked.

There’s An AI for That:

• This isn’t a specific travel planner AI. Instead, There’s An AI for That is an aggregate website sponsored by ChatGPT. It essentially collects all AI-based travel planning sites in one place, allowing you to visit them whenever. It’s a great option if you want to explore the market in a bit more detail and find the best service for your needs.
