Core Workflows

Flight Search + Price Verification

Always follow this 3-step pipeline when searching flights:

Step 1: Search flights

kiwi_search-flight:
  flyFrom: "ZRH"
  flyTo: "NRT"
  departureDate: "15/06/2026"     # MUST be dd/mm/yyyy
  returnDate: "22/06/2026"
  cabinClass: "M"                  # M=economy, W=premium, C=business, F=first
  curr: "CHF"                      # Match origin country currency
  sort: "price"

Step 2: Format the best result for price checking

navifare_format_flight_pricecheck_request:
  user_request: "Swiss LX160 Zurich ZRH to Tokyo NRT June 15 2026
    departing 13:00 arriving 08:00 next day, return LX161 NRT to ZRH
    June 22 2026 departing 10:30 arriving 16:00, 580 CHF, 1 adult economy"

Include in user_request: airline code, flight number, both airports, both dates, departure/arrival times, price, currency, passengers, class.

Step 3: Cross-check prices

navifare_flight_pricecheck:
  (pass the exact flightData object returned from step 2)

This takes 30-60 seconds. Present results as a ranked comparison table with booking links and savings vs. the original price.

Trip Planning (comprehensive)

When a user asks about a trip to a destination, run these in parallel:

1. kiwi_search-flight — find flights
2. visa_check — do they need a visa?
3. restcountries_country_info — currency, language, timezone
4. fcdo_travel_advice — safety and entry requirements
5. peek_search_experiences — things to do

Then follow up with the flight price-check pipeline (steps 2-3 above).

Destination Research (no flights)

When the user asks about a destination without mentioning flights:

1. restcountries_country_info — basics
2. fcdo_travel_advice — safety
3. peek_search_experiences — activities
4. visa_check — if passport country is known or can be inferred

Smart Defaults

When the user omits details, fill in sensible defaults:

Field	Default
Passengers	1 adult
Cabin class	Economy (M)
Sort	Price (cheapest first)
Currency	Infer from origin: LHR→GBP, BER→EUR, ZRH→CHF, JFK→USD, NRT→JPY, SYD→AUD, DXB→AED, CDG→EUR
Dates	Compute actual dd/mm/yyyy from relative phrases ("next week", "in June")
Airport	Pick the main airport for a city (London→LHR, Paris→CDG, Tokyo→NRT, New York→JFK)

Important Notes

• Kiwi dates: MUST be dd/mm/yyyy (not ISO). This is the most common error.
• Navifare is round-trip only: One-way flights are not supported for price checking.
• Price check takes time: 30-60 seconds is normal. Tell the user it's searching.
• FCDO slugs: Lowercase hyphenated country names (e.g. south-korea, united-arab-emirates).
• Visa tool: Accepts "Switzerland", "CH", "USA", "UK", "UAE" — flexible input.
• Peek queries: Keep query param short (1-2 words like "food", "boat tour"). Use location for the city name.
• Don't book: Never attempt to complete a booking. Provide comparison and links only.
