I asked chatbots to find me cheap flights over the holidays. The results were mixed
""I want you to find me the cheapest tickets for a round-trip flight for this Thanksgiving period. My departure city is New York City, and my destination city is Dallas." ChatGPT asked me a series of questions about trip specifics, including exact dates and preferred airports, or gave me the option for defaults it selected (all NYC → DFW/DAL airports from Wednesday, November 26, 2025 to Sunday, November 30, 2025)."
"OpenAI's chatbot then spit out a bunch of information, including which airlines and airports had the cheapest options, and asked me if I wanted to see further results on specific itineraries. It even offered to show me total landed cost options (which means it would let me know how much the flight would cost if I checked bags, too). It also offered to set up price alerts for me."
Holiday travel makes finding cheap flights difficult, prompting many to use comparison sites like Kayak and SkyScanner. Three conversational AI chatbots were tested to find the cheapest Thanksgiving round-trip flights from New York City to Dallas. ChatGPT requested clarifying trip details and offered default dates and airports. ChatGPT returned which airlines and airports had the cheapest options, offered total landed cost calculations including checked-bag fees, and proposed price alerts. ChatGPT provided three labeled "ABC" options and the ability to drill into specific itineraries for deeper results.
