Cons
Con Not optimized for travel
Unlike travel-specific websites, Sheets won't be able to tell if one link is a flight, and another is a hotel reservation, nor will it be able to know which cells correspond to what leg of the trip.
Con Zero foundation
While there are sample layouts (see Travel planner), it's likely that each person's trip planning needs will be unique enough that it's better to start from scratch. Of course, once you use Sheets for one trip, it'll be easier and faster to set it up for future trips.
Con Limited offline functionality
Some of the tools are unavailable when editing presentations offline.
Con Just the basics
Google Slides often lack the tools for power users when editing presentations.
Con Files are stored in Google servers
In case the servers go down, your files will be inaccessible for the time being.
Con It is a Google product
Your data privacy at Google is debatable.
