Flight

What This Skill Does

The Flight skill is an advanced travel management agent for OpenClaw designed to automate the complexities of modern air travel. It handles the entire lifecycle of a trip: searching across multiple platforms like Google Flights and Skyscanner, comparing prices, managing booking details, and providing proactive flight status tracking. It integrates intelligence regarding loyalty programs, baggage policies, and seat selection to provide a 'true cost' analysis rather than just base fares. By maintaining a persistent memory in ~/flight/memory.md, the skill learns your home airports, airline preferences, and travel style to provide highly personalized recommendations over time.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/flight Ensure your agent has the necessary permissions to access file storage for memory persistence and network access for API connectivity.

Use Cases

• Cost-Effective Trip Planning: Search for flights between specific cities while considering±3 days of flexibility to uncover the best value.
• Loyalty Optimization: Compare the value of using cash versus points by calculating the 'cents-per-point' ratio for award bookings.
• Risk-Aware Booking: Automatically flag tight connections (e.g., <90 minutes for domestic) and ensure family bookings prioritize adjacent seating before purchase.
• Proactive Management: Set price alerts on specific routes and receive automated monitoring of flight statuses starting 24 hours prior to departure, allowing for rapid rebooking during disruptions.

Example Prompts

1. 'I need to fly from JFK to LHR next month. Find me the best premium economy options for a family of four, keeping in mind we need adjacent seats.'
2. 'Check if it is cheaper to book a return flight to Tokyo or two separate one-way tickets on different carriers, and set a price alert for any drop below $900.'
3. 'Should I use my 50,000 BA Avios for this flight to Madrid, or is it better to pay the $600 cash price? Calculate the point value for me.'

Tips & Limitations

• Memory: Always update your ~/flight/memory.md file to ensure the agent understands your loyalty status and home airports immediately.
• True Cost: The skill prioritizes 'TRUE' cost. Always clarify if you have elite status, as this may waive baggage fees that the agent would otherwise include in its total calculation.
• Safety Warnings: The agent is trained to warn against non-refundable bookings for trips far in the future; heed these warnings to avoid unnecessary financial risk. Always verify visa requirements independently as the agent's data might lag behind real-time policy changes.
