Supports one-way and round-trip searches with flexible passenger counts and cabin class. Returns price-ranked results grouped by number of stops, showing the cheapest options from multiple airlines and booking platforms.

Flight prices are determined through a real-time bidding process and are not guaranteed beyond this window. If a user wants to book, they should do so promptly. For stale results, run a new search. ### Error Responses The server returns structured errors with suggestions: - **`airport_not_found`** -- airport could not be resolved. Try an IATA code, city name, or airport name. - **`disambiguation_needed`** -- multiple airports found (e.g. "New York" returns JFK, LGA). Pick one and retry. - **`invalid_date`** -- date format not recognized. Use YYYY-MM-DD, DD.MM.YYYY, or similar. - **`no_results`** -- no flights available for the given criteria. Try different dates or a nearby airport. ## Example Prompts - Find me the cheapest direct flight from New York to London in August - Compare flights from Frankfurt to Munich on July 15, round-trip returning July 22 - I need a one-way flight from LAX to Tokyo next Friday, economy class - Search for 2 adults and 1 child flying from Barcelona to Paris on September 1 - What's the cheapest business class flight from Dubai to Singapore this month? ## Privacy This server does not log IP addresses, search queries, or any user-identifiable data.
