Can I mention my travel site or product?
Yes, if it genuinely helps with travel planning. The rule allows simple posts or links to gear or sites, and only asks you to avoid posting just for promotional or marketing purposes.

Rule summary
- No spam: While simple posts or links to gear or sites does not necessarily constitute advertising, avoid posting just for promotional or marketing purposes.
- Include a descriptive title: Include a descriptive title. This must include the "Itinerary" prefix, the destination, and the length. Use the following format: Examples: ``` Itinerary, Prague, 3 Days Itinerary, Portugal, 3 Weeks ```
- Use flairs to tag location: Use flairs to tag location
Works well
- A full trip itinerary with a title in the required format, like Itinerary, Prague, 3 Days, tagged with the matching location flair.
- A request for feedback on a draft travel plan, framed as advice seeking rather than promotion.
- A practical travel tip or a simple link to a useful site or piece of gear, shared as part of a genuine planning discussion.
- A show and tell post where you walk through your plans for a destination and invite others to discuss them.
Avoid
- Posting mainly to promote your product, site, or gear, because that falls under “No spam”.
- Titling your post something like “Help me plan my trip” without the required prefix, destination, and length.
- Skipping the location flair when you submit your post.
- Dropping a link with no real itinerary or travel planning context around it.
- Treating the community as a distribution channel instead of a place to share and discuss travel plans.
What r/itineraries Is For
This community is for people who want to share, plan, and discuss travel itineraries. The description says you can come here for advice, show off your plans, or look for travel tips, and that it is meant to connect people who love to travel. So the room is made up of travelers sharing real trip plans and asking for feedback on them.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules decide whether your post survives here. “No spam” says that simple posts or links to gear or sites do not necessarily count as advertising, but you should avoid posting just for promotional or marketing purposes. “Include a descriptive title” requires the Itinerary prefix, the destination, and the length, in a format like Itinerary, Prague, 3 Days. “Use flairs to tag location” makes a location flair a requirement, not a nice to have. The moderator one-liner confirms that posts get removed for being promotional spam, for missing the title format, or for skipping the flair.
What To Post
A good post here is a real itinerary with a title that follows the required format exactly, meaning the Itinerary prefix, the destination, and the length. Pick the location flair that matches where your trip goes. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to share a genuine travel plan or a genuinely useful travel tip, and let any connection to your work stay in the background. The rules allow simple posts or links to gear or sites, so a link can be fine when the post itself is useful travel content and not just advertising. Ask for advice or feedback on your plans, because the description says that is exactly what the community is for.
What To Avoid
The clear way to get removed is posting something that is promotional spam, meaning a post whose main purpose is marketing. The second removal trigger is a title that lacks the required format, so a vague title with no Itinerary prefix, destination, or length will not survive. The third is forgetting to use a location flair. If your post reads like an ad for a site or a product rather than a genuine travel plan or tip, expect it to be taken down.

Common questions about r/itineraries
What does a valid title look like?
Follow the exact format from “Include a descriptive title”, for example Itinerary, Prague, 3 Days or Itinerary, Portugal, 3 Weeks.
Do I really need a flair?
Yes. “Use flairs to tag location” makes a location flair a requirement, and the moderator one-liner says posts without one get removed.
Are AI-generated itineraries allowed?
The rules do not say. Nothing in the published rules covers AI content, so the safe read is to focus on real travel planning and follow the title and flair rules.
Are links allowed?
The rules do not say. Links are only addressed indirectly in “No spam”, which allows simple posts or links to gear or sites as long as the post is not just advertising.
