How to use ChatGPT to find cheap flights
Blog post from Firecrawl
Firecrawl’s ChatGPT plugin enables users to search Skyscanner data through Firecrawl Alexandria to identify cheap flight dates, compare live fares, filter itineraries, search multi-city routes, and receive booking links without allowing ChatGPT to book or pay. Skyscanner tools include place and airport resolution, monthly price comparisons, daily fare calendars based on recent cached searches, and live searches for exact dates that provide airlines, flight numbers, stops, duration, fare estimates including taxes and fees, flexibility information, and seller links. Each Skyscanner tool call costs five Firecrawl credits, while inspecting available tools and their prices is free. The recommended workflow is to use monthly or daily calendar estimates to narrow flexible travel dates before spending credits on live searches, with prompts able to specify cabin, passengers, stops, airlines, layover limits, sorting, currency, market, and up to six trip legs. The material contrasts this approach with ChatGPT alone, which lacks real-time fare feeds and may produce stale, incomplete, or fabricated information, while also noting limits such as changing prices, incomplete airline coverage, cache gaps on thin routes, and the need to verify baggage rules and final prices on the seller’s booking page.
