Departura review
A practical AI planner for mapped, timed itineraries with offline mobile access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Departura is an AI travel planner for solo and small-group travelers who want a structured trip plan. It supports destination brainstorming, chat-based planning, and Autopilot generation of complete itineraries. Plans are organized day by day with interactive maps, routes, timing, travel-time estimates, and budget estimates for activities and people. Travelers can share itineraries with a group, attach travel documents and bookings, and receive check-in reminders. Mobile access includes offline maps through a mobile experience, without requiring an App Store download.
Pricing is built around trip plans. The Free plan includes a first trip for everyone, while early users receive five free trip plans; no credit card is required. A Single Trip Plan costs USD 9 per plan for one additional trip. The 5-Pack costs USD 36 per five plans and states a 20% saving. The 10-Pack costs USD 63 per 10 plans and states a 30% saving. The free offer and five-plan promotion are presented as early-user pricing, and purchases are non-refundable.
Departura’s strongest fit is itinerary design that combines logistics with a map view and offline access. Route sequencing, timing, estimated costs, attachments, and reminders keep planning details together, while group sharing helps distribute the finished plan. Its scope is itinerary planning rather than booking, calendar export, or joint editing, so travelers seeking direct reservations or collaborative editing should choose another tool. The web platform paired with mobile access suits people who want one plan available on the go, and email support provides a direct contact channel.
