Questions, answered straight

The checklist is free forever. A $19 Trip Pass adds a cloud document vault, an offline copy of the checklist, and multi-traveler checks for one trip. Traveler Annual is $39 a year and covers every trip you take.

97 countries and regions, each with the cities travelers actually search for — so "Dublin", "Dublin, Ireland", or just "Ireland" all land in the right place. Nineteen passport nationalities are supported for entry and visa answers, with the US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand covered in the most depth.

More get added regularly, and the list grows from what travelers actually ask for — so if somewhere you're headed isn't there yet, send us a message at hello@triphappenstravel.com and we'll add it.

TripHappens installs straight from your browser — no app store, no update to forget. On iPhone, tap Share then "Add to Home Screen"; on Android, your browser will offer to install it. It then opens like any other app, full screen, with its own icon.

The app itself opens offline — the shell, your checklist, and everything you've already ticked are stored on your device, not fetched fresh each time. Live pieces like the weather forecast and link health checks need a connection to update.

If you want the whole trip — official links, entry rules and all — saved deliberately for a flight or a country with expensive data, that's the offline pack, included with Trip Pass and Traveler Annual.

If you have one big trip this year, buy the Trip Pass for that trip. If you take more than two trips a year, Annual costs less than two passes and covers everything, unlimited.

Nothing upgrades you automatically, and buying a pass never signs you up for anything recurring.

No. It stays attached to the trip you bought it for, before, during, and after. It just doesn't carry over to a different trip — that's what Annual is for.

No. If you bought a Trip Pass within the last 14 days and haven't subscribed before, what you paid for it comes off your first year of Traveler Annual automatically — you'll see the discount on the Stripe checkout page before you pay anything.

It applies once, to your first Annual subscription, and only inside that 14-day window. There's no code to enter and nothing to ask us for.

Open the account menu and choose "Manage billing" — that opens Stripe's own billing portal, where you can cancel Traveler Annual yourself in a couple of clicks. No email to write, no one to talk out of it. You keep access until the year you've paid for runs out.

A Trip Pass is a one-off purchase, so there's nothing to cancel.

Payment goes directly to Stripe, which handles card details for a very large share of the internet. Your full card number never touches our servers — we only ever hear back that a payment succeeded.

No. On-device documents never leave your device at all. Vault documents live in a private bucket where only your own signed-in account can reach your own folder, served exclusively through expiring signed links. There is no browsing interface on our end, and "Remove" deletes the actual file, not just the listing.

Anything stored only on that device — your on-device documents especially — goes with it. If you're signed in, your trips and checklists are mirrored to your account and come straight back when you sign in somewhere else. Documents you backed up to the cloud vault come back too.

This is the honest reason a free account is worth thirty seconds of your time.

A link that carries your whole trip inside the address itself, so you can open your checklist on another device with no account at all. Treat it like a boarding pass: anyone you send it to can open that checklist. Documents stored on your device don't travel with it.

No analytics trackers and no advertising scripts run in this app, and we have never sold data to anyone. You can ask for a copy of everything we hold on you, or ask us to delete all of it, any time, for any reason.

Because a countdown reminder is a convenience and an advisory change is a safety warning. Gating the safety one behind a signup would be indefensible, so we didn't. The reminders need an account so they can follow you across devices and so we know the address belongs to you.

Every single one has a one-click unsubscribe link. Saving that trip again re-subscribes you, and you can ask us to delete your data outright at any point.

There's an optional travel deals and tips list, offered as an unticked checkbox when you save a trip and kept entirely separate from your trip alerts. You're only on it if you tick that box yourself, and it has its own unsubscribe link. We never move addresses from one list to the other.

Treat it as a strong steer, not a ruling. For passport and destination combinations we're confident about, you get a direct answer with a note. For everything else the app says so plainly rather than guessing, and points you at your own government's page. Always confirm at the official source before you book.

Within about 15 days of your trip it's a real forecast. Further out, it's the average of the last three years for those dates — the vibe, not a promise. The app tells you which one you're looking at, and the packing list adapts to it either way.

On some of them, yes, and they're marked where they appear. It never changes what you pay. Commercial links only ever sit on the everyday cards — packing, money, crowds, local quirks — and never on the safety-critical ones. Entry rules, advisories, health, and safety stay commercially untouched, deliberately and permanently.

A free call that walks your existing travel stack end to end — booking, approvals, documents, duty of care — and points out where it leaks. It's useful whether or not you end up buying anything from us, which is rather the point.
