Travel Planners

A digital travel planner turns a trip into a clear plan: itinerary pages, packing lists, budgets, bookings and a place to note what you loved. Travel planner templates for iPad open in GoodNotes or Notability and stay with you offline, so tickets, plans and lists are always one tap away while you travel.

Travel Planner Templates That Keep a Trip in One File

Booking emails, a packing list in notes and an itinerary in a chat thread add up to a lot of searching at the airport. A digital travel planner pulls it into one GoodNotes or Notability notebook: itinerary, bookings, budget and packing list. Here I collect my roundups of trip planning templates and travel journals for iPad.

Itinerary first or journal first

Trip planning templates focus on the before: day-by-day itineraries, reservations and a vacation budget. Travel journals focus on the after, with pages for photos, tickets and notes on what you loved. Some files include both halves.

Pages I check in a trip planner

  • a day-by-day itinerary with time slots
  • a packing list you can duplicate for each trip
  • a travel budget with planned and spent columns
  • a page for confirmation numbers and addresses

Travel Planning FAQ

Can a travel planner template import my bookings?

No. It is a PDF, so bookings are written or pasted in by hand. You can drop screenshots of tickets onto a page in GoodNotes.

Will the planner work without Wi-Fi abroad?

Yes. The file lives on your iPad, so itinerary and lists open offline.

Is one planner enough for several trips?

Many people keep one notebook and duplicate the trip pages for each new destination.
