A confirmation email. We love them.
Here at Trippything (when I say "here" I mean a virtual space incorporating Elliot's house, my house, and some server space) we need confirmation emails from travel service providers (airlines, hotels, car rentals, trains, B&Bs, etc.) We can't get enough of them. Send them through to trips[curlysymbol]trippything.com any time you book something new. We'll respect your travelling privacy, of course, but we'll gratefully use your confirmation email and any PDF attachments it might have to write, test and tweak our growing library of parsers
.We soooo can't get enough confirmation emails that we recently put out an email to a bunch of friends around the world, asking them to send in as many old and new confirmation emails as they could dredge up from their email archives. We offered some prizes - iTunes Store gift vouchers and an iPod Nano - for the people who sent us the most, and most-useful, confirmation emails.
Elliot had the canny idea of purchasing the Nano duty-free to save some of the personal savings we're using to power Trippything at the moment, so I took the opportunity to snag one duty-free in Singapore on my way home from Ila and Maury's wedding in Bangalore last week.
I can't quite announce the grand Nano prize winner and the minor gift voucher winners just yet because Elliot's too busy coding to send me their names and contact details, but whoever you are, here's your lovely shiny Nano. It's softly calling your name... I just can't quite make it out... Oh wait, it's calling Elliot's name. Huh...
