Open the companion tool →Why automated travel booking requires explicit policy constraints
Travel search algorithms prioritize lowest price by default, which often selects basic economy fares with zero refund or baggage rights.
Instructing the AI agent to select only 'refundable' or 'changeable' options prevents costly booking mistakes.
The protocol
- Include explicit constraints in your prompt: 'Select refundable/changeable options only.'
- Require the AI bot to present flight times and fare rules for human review before payment execution.
- Check airline and hotel cancellation windows directly on the official carrier site.
- Use credit cards that offer built-in trip cancellation and protection benefits.
What the tool does
Audit AI travel agent booking prompts for non-refundable fare risks. Runs in browser.
Limit first: This is a booking prompt checklist. It does not sell travel tickets directly.

If an AI bot books an incorrect flight, contact the airline directly within 24 hours (US Department of Transportation rules mandate 24-hour free cancellation for most flights booked 7+ days in advance).
