CheckMyTrip is a trip and flight tracker app that tracks flights and itineraries you have already booked rather than planning the trip or booking your stays.
Pilot is a trip booking and planning app: build a flexible itinerary, map it, keep notes, and book your hotel at private rates straight from hotels. Where CheckMyTrip tracks the flights, Pilot plans the whole trip around them and books your stay.
Yes, CheckMyTrip is the consumer trip tracker from Amadeus, pulling in flight details with gate and delay alerts, though its Trustpilot sits around 1.6. Pilot is rated 4.7 by 50,000+ travelers and lets you reach a real person if anything goes wrong.
Yes, CheckMyTrip is free, mainly organizing trips you already booked, with flight status, gate changes, and delay alerts. Pilot is also free and does more: a flexible planner with AI itineraries and in-app stays at private rates straight from hotels.
CheckMyTrip imports your booking confirmations through Amadeus, then shows your itinerary, flight status, gate changes, and delay alerts, to track a trip you already arranged. Pilot works the other way: you build a flexible itinerary, plan with your group, and book your hotel.
No, CheckMyTrip tracks bookings you made elsewhere but does not book hotels for you in the app. Pilot books over 3,000,000 hotels right in the app at private rates straight from hotels, so the booking lives with the rest of your trip.
CheckMyTrip is free and operated by Amadeus, the travel-technology company behind many airline booking systems, rather than charging travelers directly. Pilot earns from hotels when you book, which is why the whole planner stays free with no sponsored results.
CheckMyTrip is worth a look for tracking flights you already booked, with gate changes and delay alerts, but it does not plan flexibly, generate AI itineraries, or book hotels. Pilot does all that planning and books your stay at private hotel rates, free.
Use Pilot to plan and book the trip: a flexible itinerary, AI that builds a first draft, group planning, in-app hotel booking at private rates, and your whole trip in one place, free. Use CheckMyTrip if you only want to track flights you already booked.
Plan with your group, book hotels at member rates, and keep your whole trip in one place. Completely free.
