01Why half-bot

  • Fares change constantly, and AI chat answers may be out of date.
  • It's useful for strategy: flexible dates, nearby airports, one-way combinations.
  • Paste real options in and it compares the true total cost, including bags.

02The prompt

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
