TripCase Shut Down: The Best TripCase Alternatives (2026)

Sabre shut TripCase down on April 1, 2025 and deleted its trip data. What still works, and the apps that replace it: TripIt, Tripsy, Flighty, NomadPoint.

By Elad · Nov 12, 2026 · 7 min read

TripCase is gone. Sabre turned the app off on April 1, 2025, and after June 30, 2025 it deleted the trip data that was left. You can't get old trips back from it now. The good news is that the emails your travel agency or airline sends still arrive, so any app that reads forwarded booking emails can take TripCase's place.

The quick picks:

  • TripIt if you're on Android or just want the closest free replacement. It builds the trip from forwarded emails at no cost.
  • NomadPoint (we make it) if you're on iPhone and want the whole journey, live flight changes and the next step in one app.
  • Flighty if all you want is the flight itself, tracked closely.
  • Tripsy if you like a polished iPhone itinerary and don't mind paying to forward emails.

Everything about the shutdown below comes from Sabre's TripCase sunset FAQ (archived copy; Sabre has since taken the page down). App prices and features come from each company's own pages, checked on 12 November 2026.

Why did TripCase shut down?

Sabre's answer is short. It wanted to make sure "our investment is focused on the products that bring the most value to our customers", and its customers are travel agencies and airlines, not travellers. It retired both the app and the web version of TripCase. The timeline, from the same FAQ:

DateWhat happened
Before April 2025App pulled from Google Play; no more updates or support
April 1, 2025App turned off for everyone and removed from the App Store
April 1 to June 30, 2025Old trips could be downloaded from TripCase.com
July 1, 2025Trip data deleted; TripCase.com redirects to a Sabre page

Sabre also said the date would not move and that it has no preferred migration partner. When people asked which app to use instead, Sabre's FAQ answered: "You are free to choose the option that best supports your needs."

What still works after the shutdown

One part of TripCase lives on: the emails. Sabre kept its Sabre Traveler Communication and Custom Messaging products, which agencies and airlines use to email itineraries, tickets and invoices. People sometimes call these "TripCase Messaging". So if your agency books through Sabre, you'll keep getting the itinerary email.

What you lost is the app around it. Sabre's FAQ says you won't get flight delay and gate change alerts through that messaging any more. To share a trip, it suggests forwarding the itinerary email by hand.

So a TripCase replacement has two jobs:

  1. Turn those emails into a trip on your phone.
  2. Tell you when a flight changes, since nobody else will.

TripIt: the closest free replacement

TripIt does the TripCase job almost one for one. You forward a confirmation to plans@tripit.com, or let it add plans from your inbox, and it builds one itinerary with flights, hotels and the rest. It syncs to your calendar and works on Android too. All of that is free, according to TripIt's pricing page.

The flight alerts TripCase users miss are a TripIt Pro feature: $49 a year after a 30-day free trial. TripIt has a page for TripCase travellers. It says a TripCase subscription can't be converted to Pro. Its suggestion is to forward future confirmation emails, and to send it PDFs of past trips saved with TripCase's Print Itinerary option. Since the data was deleted in July 2025, that only helps if you saved those PDFs at the time.

NomadPoint: the whole journey, and what comes next

NomadPoint is the app we make, so take this section with that in mind. It's a trip planner for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, and it goes further than TripCase did. Flights, stays and activities sit in one journey, day by day on a map, and the app shows what comes next and when.

What's free:

  • Unlimited journeys and multi-city routes, with your whole itinerary offline
  • The first booking email you forward, and a one-time import from your calendar
  • Entry rules, visa status and days left for one destination, including the Schengen 90/180 count
  • Expenses you record, with totals per journey

NomadPoint Pro is $34.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $7.99 a month in the US (see pricing). It adds every forwarded booking email after the first, and live delay, gate and cancellation alerts. It also gives you a Live Activity on your Lock Screen on travel days, plus entry rules for every destination. If you moved to TripIt or Tripsy after TripCase closed, Pro can import those trips too.

Where it falls short: NomadPoint has no Android app, so on Android pick TripIt. Its email reading is newer than TripIt's, which has been doing this for years. For a side-by-side, see NomadPoint vs TripIt.

Flighty: for the flight, not the trip

If what you really used TripCase for was knowing your flight status, Flighty is the specialist. The free version tracks flights with live data. Pro is $59.99 a year or $4.99 a month billed annually. It adds disruption alerts that Flighty says can arrive "up to 1 to 2 hours before the airlines", along with email, calendar and TripIt import and a Connection Assistant. It doesn't organise hotels or activities, and Flighty says it has no plans for an Android version. We compared it with TripIt in TripIt vs Flighty.

Tripsy: a tidy iPhone itinerary

Tripsy is a neat, well-designed itinerary app for Apple devices. Forwarding booking emails, real-time flight notifications and storing documents all sit behind Tripsy Pro. Pro is $29 a year at the current 50%-off price on Tripsy's site, or $225 once for lifetime. There's no native Android app yet. Android users get a web version at my.tripsy.app. More in Tripsy vs TripIt.

How to switch from TripCase in 10 minutes

  1. Pick the app from the list above. On Android, that means TripIt.
  2. Find your next trip's itinerary email from your agency or airline. Sabre-booked agencies still send them.
  3. Forward it to the app's import address. Each app shows the address when you set up email import.
  4. Turn on flight alerts if you want them. On TripIt, NomadPoint and Tripsy that means the paid plan, and Flighty Pro adds its early alerts.
  5. For trips already booked, forward every confirmation you still have, not just the agency summary. Hotel and car emails fill in what the agency itinerary leaves out.

If a flight has already moved since you booked, what to do when an airline changes your flight time covers your options. For a wider look at organiser apps, see the best app to organize a travel itinerary and our list of TripIt alternatives.

Frequently asked questions

Is TripCase still available?

No. Sabre turned off the TripCase app and website on April 1, 2025. The app was removed from the App Store, after being pulled from Google Play before that, and Sabre's FAQ says no paid version is offered either.

Can I still get my old TripCase trips?

Not from Sabre. Downloads were open from April 1 to June 30, 2025, and Sabre deleted TripCase trip data from July 1, 2025. If you kept itinerary emails or PDFs, forward those to your new app.

Will my travel agency still email my itinerary?

Yes, if they use Sabre. Sabre Traveler Communication and Custom Messaging were not part of the shutdown, so agencies and airlines can keep emailing trips to travellers.

What is the best free TripCase alternative?

TripIt, for most people. It builds trips from forwarded emails for free on iPhone, Android and the web. On iPhone, NomadPoint's free plan includes unlimited journeys, offline access and entry rules for one destination, but it reads only the first forwarded email for free.

Which TripCase replacement sends flight delay alerts?

All four, on a paid plan. Flighty also gives you every Pro feature free for your first flight. TripIt Pro is $49 a year, NomadPoint Pro $34.99 a year, Flighty Pro $59.99 a year and Tripsy Pro $29 a year at its current discount.

Your whole trip, and the next step, in one place. NomadPoint builds the journey from your bookings, watches your flights with Pro, and already knows what comes next. Free to download.
