Why it matters
Trips involve lots of searching, forms and waiting on hold. This is an example of an agent handling that busywork so the traveller only has to approve the result. It is one of 68 sightings filed under Travel & Booking on Agent Sightings (number 68 by interest), and one of 1 involving Opty (Optifly).
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Opty (Optifly) or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Explain why this airline schedule has weak connections on Tuesdays, suggest changes, and compare the trade-offs between two alternatives.
Tip: Have the agent list options with prices and cancellation rules, and only book once you have said yes to one.
