Step by step

1. This is a Private Group Trip. It's how you plan a trip with friends, all in one place.
2. To start one, go to the Plan tab, tap the plus button, and choose Private Group Trip.
3. For example, Ava is planning a ski week in Niseko, Japan, with three friends. Type where you're going, and pick it from the list.
4. Next, pick your dates. Tap the day you leave, then the day you come back. Ava's going December twelfth to the nineteenth.
5. Choose the vibe of the trip. Ava picks adventure and food.
6. Set your group size, and tap Create Trip.
7. Your trip is ready. Now invite your crew. Tap the invite button, and send the link by text or any app. When your friends open it, they join the trip.
8. Next, fill the Idea Board. Open the Discover tab, and pick a partner, like Booking.com for hotels.
9. Booking.com opens right inside the app, already set to Niseko and your dates. Ava opens the Hilton Niseko Village, and taps Add to Trip.
10. It's saved to the Idea Board as a card, with the booking link, so anyone on the trip can open it and book.
11. You can add your own ideas too, like a ski lesson at Grand Hirafu.
12. Then everyone votes. Tap a thumbs up, a heart, or a fire on the ideas you like. The ones with the most votes rise to the top.
13. Tap Add to Itinerary on the winners, and they're marked On Itinerary.
14. Use the trip chat to talk it through, without leaving the app.
15. Then open the Itinerary tab. Tap a day, and add the winning ideas. The Hilton on day one, the ski lesson on day two.
16. When the plan is set, everyone books their own stops, and the whole group sees the trip come together.
