Search flights with airline constraints using Comet
Comet searched Lisbon-to-Taiwan flights across chosen airlines with no 737 Max and one stop max, pulling live prices and reaching the passenger info page.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- The prompt asked for a one-way Lisbon-to-Taiwan flight in August on KLM, EVA or Emirates only, with no Boeing 737 Max and at most one stop. Comet first returned only a summary table and opened no tabs. After a follow-up prompt, it opened background tabs on each airline's site, pulled live prices and best dates, and compared options.
- How it went
- It went through the booking flow as far as the passenger information page. The first attempt was only a table summary, so the airline-site search needed a second prompt.
- Worth knowing
- If Comet answers with just a summary table, tell it explicitly to search the individual airline sites. Comet was available through Perplexity's $200/month Max plan at the time.
