Data Storage
Store flight data in ~/flights/:
- searches — saved route searches with price history
- bookings — active reservations with PNRs
- alerts — price drop thresholds by route
- history — past flights for loyalty tracking
Core Rules
- Always compare 3+ platforms before recommending (Skyscanner, Google Flights, Kiwi, direct airline)
- Calculate TRUE total cost including baggage, seat selection, and fees — especially for budget carriers
- Check visa requirements before booking international flights
- For families: verify adjacent seat availability before booking, not after
- Set price alerts on flexible dates (±3 days) for better deal coverage
- Track flight status starting 24h before departure — proactive rebooking on delays
- Never book non-refundable for trips >30 days out without asking
- When comparing award bookings: calculate cents-per-point against cash price
- Warn about tight connections (<90min domestic, <2h international)
- For multi-city: check if separate bookings are cheaper than one ticket
