Samsung has announced a new “Trips” feature for its Wallet app, which is intended to make travel planning easier.
The feature places any flight bookings, hotel reservations, car rentals, bus tickets, planned events and any other bookings into a single easy-to-follow timeline, with time and location the key organising factors.
Your entire itinerary will be placed before you on your smartphone screen in a linear, easy-to-parse fashion, preventing the need to dip in and out of various apps when you want to figure out where you should be or what you should be doing next.
While the new Trips function automates this timeline feature, pulling from the necessary sources, you can also add your own plans and notes manually.

“Travel plans are often scattered across confirmations, apps and messages, and that creates friction at the exact moments people need clarity,” said Woncheol Chai, EVP and Head of Digital Wallet Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.
“By bringing Trips to Samsung Wallet, we’re giving Galaxy users a single place to keep their trip details organised and stay one step ahead as their plans unfold.”
Naturally, all of this is protected by Samsung Knox, which employs encryption and biometric authentication to keep your itinerary private.
Samsung’s new Trips feature will commence rolling out in the UK, US and Korea this month.
It’ll work with any Samsung device that can run Samsung Wallet version 6.4.98 or higher, so you won’t need to be packing a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to take full advantage of it on your next holiday.
