How to use Claude to find cheap flights
Blog post from Firecrawl
Firecrawl’s Claude connector enables users to access Skyscanner tools through the Firecrawl Alexandria catalog to identify cheaper travel dates, check live flight prices, compare multi-city itineraries, and receive booking links without making purchases directly. The suggested workflow moves from monthly price comparisons to daily fare calendars and then to a live search, helping travelers narrow flexible plans before paying for current quotes; Skyscanner’s place lookup, price calendar, monthly prices, and flight search tools each cost five Firecrawl credits per call. Calendar and monthly results are estimates based on fares observed in recent searches, while live searches provide current itineraries with filters for stops, airlines, layovers, cabin, passengers, and sorting, though quoted prices may still change on the seller’s site. The text contrasts this approach with unaided Claude, whose information may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate and cannot reliably provide real-time fares. It also notes practical limitations, including incomplete calendar data on thin routes, absent baggage details, default US market settings, and the need to verify final fare rules, availability, and booking terms with the airline or agency.
