LOOKING for a flight deal just got a whole lot easier with a simple prompt and the power of artificial intelligence.
With a short message, ChatGPT can now find cheap tickets, filter your preferences, and even help you book a flight, all in seconds.
The tool, called Operator, works with Bing Travel to help users skip hours of browsing and comparing flight prices.
TikTok user Adam Stewart previewed the useful AI agent in a post with over 5,000 likes.
Stewart posts videos about AI and automation on his TikTok account, where he boasts over 105,000 followers.
Earlier this year, the creator shared a video where he tested Operator by looking for a five-passenger flight to Hong Kong.
He tasked Operator with finding a direct, daytime flight from Melbourne on April 7, with checked baggage included.
“I am trying to book a flight to Hong Kong for five people on the 7th of April, try to find me a direct flight,” he said.
“I want it to be a daytime flight as I don’t sleep well on planes and make sure baggage is included.”
The two-sentence prompt simply asked Stewart, “How many passengers?” and “Morning or afternoon?
ChatGPT immediately got to work, showing that it had filtered results to include only morning and afternoon departures.
The user noted, “Now we have got some options. Cathay, very nice.”
It bypassed the login page and pulled up a flight option that matched the user’s request.
“Now it found us a flight, this is perfect, it includes check-in,” the user said.
Once the flight was selected, the system asked if they wanted to go ahead with the booking just by clicking one button.
“One thing is you can turn off the notifications, so you don’t have to see how it works in the background,” Stewart added.
The only step left was to enter passenger details.
Operator is a research preview tool that uses its own browser to complete tasks like searching, filtering, and even booking flights.
It’s currently available to Pro users in the US, giving them early access to hands-off travel planning powered by ChatGPT.
The entire process takes seconds and doesn’t require switching between multiple websites or tabs.
ChatGPT and its rival, Claude, are becoming go-to travel tools for finding affordable routes.
Travelers can ask for flight suggestions by season, date, and price range.
ChatGPT can also find low-cost airline options and hidden flight tricks.
