A:

TripIt
The more disorganized you are, the more you’ll appreciate this app. You forward TripIt all of the reservation confirmation e-mails you receive from airlines, hotels, and car rental companies, and it automatically creates an itinerary and updates your phone’s appointment calendar. It tells you the departure and arrival gates of your flights, and will give you directions from the hotel to the airport. There even an option for it to read your e-mails and automatically identify and organize the ones with travel confirmations (that’s a little too Big Brother for me).
Price: Free
