How Lez plans a trip, start to finish
You type one sentence. About a minute later there are days with real places, opening hours and travel times. Here is what happens in between, and what doesn't.
Most AI trip planners are a chat window with a list on the other side. The list looks great and falls apart on a Tuesday, when the museum is shut and lunch is forty minutes uphill from where the plan says you are. LezPlanIt was built around that Tuesday. This is what Lez does with your sentence, in the order it does it.
What you type
Something like “a week in Lisbon in late September for two, mid-range, we care about food, one day trip”. That is enough. If a detail that changes the shape of the trip is missing, Lez asks for it before drafting, and only that: roughly when, your style, who’s going, where you’re leaving from and how you’ll get around. Then it shows you a short brief to confirm, so the week it builds is the week you meant.
I’d rather ask one question now than draft seven days for the wrong month. If you already said it all, I don’t ask anything. I just start.
What Lez checks before anything reaches you
This is the part that separates a plan that looks good from a plan that works, and it is the part most planners skip.
Every stop is a real place with a listing, not a name the model remembers. Lez looks it up, pulls the rating and the opening hours for each day of the week, and drops anything marked closed down.
A stop is only placed on a day when it is open that day. The tile museum that shuts on Tuesdays goes on Thursday. The market that closes at one goes in the morning.
Walking, driving or transit time between each stop and the next, so the day doesn’t ask you to be in two places at once. You can change the mode later, or type your own minutes.
A forecast for near dates, a seasonal average for far ones, so a rainy afternoon gets the indoor stop and the park gets the sunny one.
Journey bookends show the trip to and from home and where you’re staying each night, so day one starts after you land, not at nine in the morning.
A 2024 study by a travel marketing agency ran the same two-day brief for ten cities through a general chatbot and found that half the itineraries sent people to places outside their opening hours, and a quarter recommended somewhere that was closed. Those are exactly the checks above. They are boring, and they are the whole point.
What comes back
A day-by-day plan where each day is a timeline of stops with times, lengths, the place, its category, a price estimate, real opening hours and the weather. Here is one, unedited, from a Lisbon trip drafted in September.
Up early for the viewpoints before the heat, a long lunch in Graça, down to the river by evening.
Every stop has a map pin, and the whole trip has a map with every day on it. There is one checklist per trip, with documents and border rules for your passport, packing, and to-dos, and a budget ring that tracks what you spend in your home currency.
Shaping it
The draft is a starting point, and the point of LezPlanIt is that you reshape it in plain words. “Make day two easier.” “Swap the castle for something with fewer stairs.” “Add somewhere great for dinner near the hotel.” Lez proposes the change as a card you can see before anything moves, you apply it or dismiss it, and every applied change has undo.
Easier days, a later start after a big night, one more dinner near the hotel, and swapping a stop for the thing a friend recommended. All of them are one sentence. None of them break the hours, travel-time or closure checks, because Lez runs them again on the changed day.
What Lez doesn’t do
Honest list, because the gaps matter when you’re choosing a planner.
Lez does not book flights, hotels or tickets yet, and does not take payment; booking inside LezPlanIt is coming soon. For now, Bookings has Find flights and Find hotels links to partner sites, and once you’ve booked you tell Lez and it logs the reservation on the trip. There is no live flight status, only schedules. There are no push notifications or emails about your trip. And a trip’s destination can’t be changed after drafting; that is a new trip.
If booking inside the same app today matters more to you than hours being right, there are planners that already do that. Our comparison says which.
What it costs
Free to start: a few new trip plans a month, trips up to five days, view-only sharing. A one-off Trip Pass unlocks a single trip to any length. Passport is the subscription for people who travel a lot: unlimited plans, longer trips, inviting friends to edit, photos on stops. Purchases go through the App Store on iPhone and by card on the web.
Questions people ask
Does LezPlanIt use real opening hours?
Yes. Every stop is a real listing, and Lez pulls its hours for each day of the week before placing it. A stop only lands on a day it is open.
Can I plan with friends?
Yes. Share a trip with a one-use invite link or QR code. Viewing is free; inviting people who can edit is part of Passport.
Does it work offline?
On iPhone, the trip stays readable with no signal and edits sync when you’re back. Lez itself needs a connection.
Can Lez book things for me?
Not yet; it’s coming soon. For now it gives you partner links for flights and hotels and logs the booking once you’ve made it.
One sentence. About a minute. Days that hold up.
Type the trip the way you'd say it to a friend and see what comes back.
