Trip review checks a saved itinerary in two layers: deterministic checks find concrete schedule and route problems, while broader planning feedback looks for pacing, meal, lodging, and experience concerns. Together, they help you spot problems before you share, book, or travel from a plan.
Trip review lives in Planning health, alongside the notes Platix recorded when it built the trip.
Open Planning health
Open a trip you can edit, open Trip settings, and select Review trip. When Platix built the trip, the trip overview also shows a Planning health button that counts what is waiting, such as "1 to arrange · 1 to check · 2 notes".
Planning health has up to three tabs:
- Initial plan lists what Platix noted when it built the trip. Only the trip's owner sees it.
- Current review checks the trip as it stands now.
- Original Trip Check appears when the trip came from a Trip Check, and keeps that review as it was written.
Notes from the initial plan
The Initial plan tab groups its notes by what they ask of you:
- Arrange before you go lists the permits, tickets, reservations, escorts, ID checks, and health requirements you mentioned in your request. Platix keeps each one on its stop, but it cannot apply for, book, or pay for any of them.
- Worth checking lists details Platix could not fully settle, such as a light day or a requested stop it could not fit into a reliable schedule.
- Good to know lists assumptions and small gaps that are often fine as they are, such as a flexible dinner. A long list opens with the first few; select Show more for the rest.
Select the stop or day under a note to open it. These notes describe the trip as Platix first built it, and your later edits do not change them. To check the trip as it is now, run the current review.
Run the review
On the Current review tab, select Review current trip. Platix evaluates the current saved itinerary, so save day and stop changes before running it.
The review opens with a plan health score, a summary, severity counts, and detailed findings. The score is a quick signal; the findings are where the work happens.
Understand severity
Findings are grouped by severity:
- Critical means the trip may not work as written, such as overlapping stops, a day that cannot fit its scheduled time, or a missing overnight stay when the day needs one.
- Warning means the plan deserves a closer look, such as rushed pacing, an accommodation label without a mapped accommodation stop, or a meal that may be missing.
- Note means Platix noticed something worth considering, but it may be completely acceptable depending on your travel style.
Each finding may include a category such as lodging, meals, schedule, pacing, routing, logistics, or experience. Use the severity buttons and the category list to narrow a long review. When Platix can identify the affected day or stop, select it under the finding to jump directly to the part of the trip that needs attention.
What Platix checks
The rule-based part of trip review can identify issues such as:
- A day with no accommodation when an overnight stay is expected.
- An accommodation label without a mapped hotel or accommodation stop.
- Missing lunch or dinner coverage on full travel days.
- Activities whose start time and duration overlap.
- Stops without a usable start time or duration.
- Scheduled activity time that cannot fit within the day before travel buffers.
- Too little time between stops based on estimated travel time and transition buffers.
- Duplicate explicit meal roles, such as two stops both marked as dinner.
- Activities scheduled after a departure stop.
- Morning, afternoon, evening, lunch, or dinner labels that do not match the scheduled time.
- Stops that appear to be scheduled on a closed weekday when opening-day data is available.
- Overnight route shapes that suggest avoidable backtracking or inefficient pacing.
Meal review is intentionally practical. Arrival days only need dinner coverage, full days usually need lunch and dinner coverage, and departure days are skipped. Not every trip requires a restaurant reservation for every meal. A travel day, overnight flight, staying with friends, or flexible meal plan can make a warning acceptable.
Contextual feedback
Platix can also look across the trip and point out route, pacing, meal realism, rest, or experience concerns that one schedule rule might miss. This review uses a sanitized trip snapshot. Booking numbers, private booking notes, detailed costs, and chat history are not sent into the review context.
If the AI portion is unavailable or only partially completed, the dialog will say so. The rule checks still run across the saved days and stops, so the review can remain useful even when the qualitative layer is limited.
Work through findings
Open the relevant day, make the change, and run the review again. You can also use trip chat to ask about the current trip, day, stop, or visible map area.
Some findings can show a Help me decide action. Use it when you want Platix to compare possible remedies, such as keeping the route as is, changing a stop, or accepting a warning because it matches your intent. If the recommendation is useful, apply it from the review dialog. If the recommendation misses your preference, adjust it or handle the item yourself.
Verify critical facts separately
Trip review is planning support, not a live operating guarantee. Opening hours, prices, availability, transit schedules, weather, visa rules, and entry requirements can change. Confirm critical details with the provider or an authoritative source before travel.
