Using the TripChill iCal feed on an iPhone - get real-time travel changes automatically updated to your device calendar

The iPhone OS 3.0 makes it very easy to subscribe to external calendar feeds, such as the TripChill feed for viewing your travel information on your device calendar.  Our feed includes all of your itinerary information such as flight, hotel, car, rail, limo, etc.  You can configure your calendar information to get updated in real-time when a change occurs with your travel itinerary, such as a flight delay.

First go into TripChill Account Settings and click on the Sharing tab, and then click on the iCal button to copy your personal iCal URL.













Paste this URL into an email and send it to yourself so that it loads into your iPhone email inbox.  Click on the URL from your iPhone and choose to Subscribe to the feed:



The calendar feed will get registered by your phone after a few seconds:


You'll then have multiple calendars active within your calendar application.  You can choose to view your standard PC calendars or your TripChill calendar or both:
