But then my flights don't automatically show up on my calendar, and my android phone can't notify me when a package is delivered.
Why would I pay for something that gives me an inferior experience?
- minikites 7y agoHow long does it take you to add a flight to your calendar manually? A few seconds? Is your privacy worth those few seconds?

- UncleMeat 7y agoWhat loss of privacy? In both cases the contents of your email and stored on a disk and read into memory for processing.
- sib 7y agoI took 140 flights last year. I made a larger number than that of online purchases. Adding / tracking all that stuff manually is a pure waste of time.
- jeromegv 7y agoUse TripIt then. Looks like you’re nitpicking on small reasons.
- TheDong 7y agoOkay, so share my email with another company (fastmail + tripit now), and use a separate calendar (unless it integrates with google calendar?) I trust gmail's security more than tripit, thanks. I think I'd be more worried about the world learning of my trip history if I used tripit than if I used gmail for that. And also, the average user does not care. They don't want to think about it even to the point of researching a service, they get used to their phone telling them they have a flight the next day, and they want that to keep happening. They don't think about how it works and if they did, "oh no my privacy" is not something they'd think afterward.
- Lio 7y agoDon't most email clients make it pretty easy to create calendar events based on the content of emails? You have to do that yourself but personally I prefer being in control of that anyway.
