Prompt Original prompt

Exact prompt as published in the source.

Hey, I need to book a flight from London to Clermont-Ferrand around Thursday 28th August. My dates are flexible +/- 1 day. Please could you search on Skyscanner and find me the three best options, then check-in with me before we decide which one to book.

Try this in:

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Goal: Find the three best flights from [ORIGIN] to [DESTINATION] around [DATE] on Skyscanner, then hold for my decision.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Origin and destination airports (e.g. London, any airport → Clermont-Ferrand)
- Target date and flexibility (±1 day)
- Travellers, cabin bags and checked bags
- Deal-breakers (overnight layovers, airports I won't use, max journey time)

Rules:
- Search each date in the flexible window, not just the target day.
- Rank by total price including bag fees, then by journey time; say which you weighted more.
- Prefer single bookings; flag self-transfer or separate tickets clearly.
- Open each option's booking page and confirm the price still shows there before listing it.

Checkpoint: Do not book, enter passenger details or pay. Show me the three options and wait for my choice.

If you get stuck: If Skyscanner asks for a login, shows a CAPTCHA or two-step code, or blocks you, stop and tell me; never guess or store passwords, and don't switch to an unvetted site without asking.

Verify before you finish: Re-check that each option's dates, airports and times match what I asked.

Output: A table: date, airline, departure/arrival times, stops, total duration, total price with bags, booking site, link.

Done when: I can pick one of three real, bookable flights without searching again.
