What it does

Search Google Flights for flight prices and schedules using browser automation. Use when user asks to search flights, find airfare, compare prices, check flight availability, or look up routes. Triggers include "search flights", "find flights", "how much is a flight", "flights from X to Y", "cheapest flight", "flight prices", "airfare", "flight schedule", "nonstop flights", "when should I fly".

Installed, it changes the agent in these ways.

What this skill changes about the agent is not written down here yet. The listing was collected from its source, and the description is in its own SKILL.md.

The skill itself

This is the whole product. A skill is instructions the model reads, so there is nothing behind the listing you cannot see first — the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

7# Google Flights Search

9Search Google Flights via agent-browser to find flight prices, schedules, and availability.

11## When to Use

13- User asks to search/find/compare flights or airfare

14- User wants to know flight prices between cities

15- User asks about flight schedules or availability

16- User wants to find the cheapest flight for specific dates

18## When NOT to Use

20- **Completing purchases**: This skill finds flights and extracts booking links, but do not attempt to complete a purchase on a booking site.

21- **Hotels/rental cars**: Use other tools for non-flight travel searches.

22- **Historical price data**: Google Flights shows current prices, not historical.

24## Session Convention

26- **Economy only** (default for domestic): --session flights

27- **Economy + Business comparison** (international or user requests): --session econ and --session biz

28- **Interactive fallback**: --session flights

30## Domestic vs International Detection

32**Domestic flights default to economy only.** Business class on US domestic routes is typically 3-5x the price and rarely worth showing unless asked.

34A flight is **domestic** if both origin and destination are US airports. Common US IATA codes: ATL, BOS, BWI, CLT, DEN, DFW, DTW, EWR, FLL, HNL, IAD, IAH, JFK, LAS, LAX, LGA, MCO, MDW, MIA, MSP, OAK, ORD, PHL, PHX, PDX, SAN, SEA, SFO, SJC, SLC, TPA.

36**When to show business class:**

37- International flights (always show economy + business comparison)

38- User explicitly asks for "business class" or "business"

39- User asks to "compare cabins" or "show all classes"

41**When to skip business class:**

42- Domestic US flights (economy only by default)

43- User explicitly asks for "economy" or "cheapest"

45## Fast Path: URL-Based Search (Preferred)

47Construct a URL with a natural language ?q= parameter. Loads results directly — **3 commands total**.

49### URL Template

51```

52https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+{ORIGIN}+to+{DEST}+on+{DATE}[+returning+{DATE}][+one+way][+business+class][+N+passengers]

53```

55### Default: Economy Only (Domestic)

57For domestic flights, run a single session - **2 tool calls total**:

59```bash

60# Open and wait in one call

61agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+MIA+to+SFO+on+2026-04-28+returning+2026-04-30" && agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

63# Snapshot results

64agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

65# Keep session alive for booking links

66```

68Then present results in **compact list format** (see Output Format section below).

70### Economy + Business Comparison (International)

72For international flights, run two parallel sessions to show the price delta:

74```bash

75# Open both and wait in parallel

76(agent-browser --session econ open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+BKK+to+NRT+on+2026-03-20+returning+2026-03-27" && agent-browser --session econ wait --load networkidle) &

77(agent-browser --session biz open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+BKK+to+NRT+on+2026-03-20+returning+2026-03-27+business+class" && agent-browser --session biz wait --load networkidle) &

78wait

80# Snapshot both in parallel

81agent-browser --session econ snapshot -i &

82agent-browser --session biz snapshot -i &

83wait

85# Close biz (only needed for delta); keep econ alive for booking links

86agent-browser --session biz close

87```

89**Matching logic**: Match flights by airline name and departure time. Not all economy flights have a business equivalent (budget carriers like ZIPAIR, Air Japan don't offer business). Show "-" when no business match exists.

91**Tip**: When an airline appears in business results but not economy (e.g., Philippine Airlines), it may operate business-only pricing on that route. Include it with "-" for economy.

93### One Way

95Add +one+way to the URL. For international, run both economy and business in parallel:

97```bash

98# Domestic (economy only)

99agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+LAX+to+JFK+on+2026-04-15+one+way" && agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

100

101# International (economy + business comparison)

102(agent-browser --session econ open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+LAX+to+LHR+on+2026-04-15+one+way" && agent-browser --session econ wait --load networkidle) &

103(agent-browser --session biz open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+LAX+to+LHR+on+2026-04-15+one+way+business+class" && agent-browser --session biz wait --load networkidle) &

104wait

105```

106

107### When User Asks for Business Only

108

109If the user specifically asks for business class (not a comparison), run just the business session:

110

111```bash

112agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+JFK+to+CDG+on+2026-06-01+returning+2026-06-15+business+class"

113agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

114agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

115# Keep session alive for booking links

116```

117

118### First Class / Multiple Passengers

119

120```bash

121agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+JFK+to+CDG+on+2026-06-01+returning+2026-06-15+first+class+2+adults+1+child"

122agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

123agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

124# Keep session alive for booking links

125```

126

127### What Works via URL

128

129| Feature | URL syntax | Status |

130|---------|-----------|--------|

131| Round trip | +returning+YYYY-MM-DD | Works |

132| One way | +one+way | Works |

133| Business class | +business+class | Works |

134| First class | +first+class | Works |

135| N passengers (adults) | +N+passengers | Works |

136| Adults + children | +2+adults+1+child | Works |

137| IATA codes | BKK, NRT, LAX | Works |

138| City names | Bangkok, Tokyo | Works |

139| Dates as YYYY-MM-DD | 2026-03-20 | Works (best) |

140| Natural dates | March+20 | Works |

141| **Premium economy** | +premium+economy | **Fails** |

142| **Multi-city** | N/A | **Fails** |

143

144### What Requires Interactive Fallback

145

146- **Premium economy** cabin class

147- **Multi-city** trips (3+ legs)

148- **Infant passengers** (seat vs lap distinction)

149- **URL didn't load results** (consent banner, CAPTCHA, locale issue)

150

151### Reading Results from Snapshot

152

153Each flight appears as a link element with a full description:

154

155```

156link "From 20508 Thai baht round trip total. Nonstop flight with Air Japan.

157 Leaves Suvarnabhumi Airport at 12:10 AM on Friday, March 20 and arrives

158 at Narita International Airport at 8:15 AM on Friday, March 20.

159 Total duration 6 hr 5 min. Select flight"

160```

161

162Parse economy + business snapshots into the **compact list format**:

163

164```

1651. JAL — Nonstop · 5h 55m

166 8:05 AM → 4:00 PM

167 Economy: THB 23,255 · Business: THB 65,915 (+183%)

168

1692. THAI — Nonstop · 5h 50m

170 10:30 PM → 6:20 AM+1

171 Economy: THB 28,165 · Business: THB 75,000 (+166%)

172

1733. Air Japan — Nonstop · 6h 05m

174 12:10 AM → 8:15 AM

175 Economy: THB 20,515 · Business: —

176

1774. ZIPAIR — Nonstop · 5h 45m

178 11:45 PM → 7:30 AM+1

179 Economy: THB 21,425 · Business: —

180```

181

182**Matching**: Pair economy and business results by airline + departure time. Budget carriers without business class show "—". Include "Best"/"Cheapest" labels from Google when present.

183

184## Booking Options Handoff

185

186After presenting the results table, **always offer booking links**: "Want booking links for any of these? Just say which one."

187

188When the user picks a flight, extract booking options by clicking the flight's link element in the snapshot. Google Flights shows a panel with booking providers (airlines, OTAs) each with a price and a "Continue" link to the booking site.

189

190### Workflow

191

192```bash

193# User picks flight #N — click the corresponding link from the results snapshot

194# Use --session flights (domestic) or --session econ (international comparison)

195agent-browser --session flights click @eN

196agent-browser --session flights wait 3000

197agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

198```

199

200The booking panel snapshot will show link elements like:

201

202```

203link "Book with Emirates THB 28,960" → href="https://..."

204link "Book with Booking.com THB 29,512" → href="https://..."

205link "Book with Teaflight THB 28,171" → href="https://..."

206```

207

208Extract the provider name, price, and href URL from each link.

209

210### Output Format

211

212```

213📋 Booking Options for JAL BKK→NRT (5h 55m, Nonstop)

214

215| Provider | Price | Book |

216|----------|-------|------|

217| Emirates | THB 28,960 | [Continue](https://...) |

218| Booking.com | THB 29,512 | [Continue](https://...) |

219| Teaflight | THB 28,171 | [Continue](https://...) |

220```

221

222### Notes

223

224- **Session lifecycle**: Keep the results session (flights or econ) alive for booking links. For international comparisons, close --session biz immediately after extracting prices. Close the results session after the user gets booking links or declines.

225- **If booking panel fails to load**: Re-snapshot and wait longer before retrying.

226

227## Interactive Workflow (Fallback)

228

229Use for multi-city, premium economy, or when the URL path fails.

230

231### Open and Snapshot

232

233```bash

234agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights"

235agent-browser --session flights wait 3000

236agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

237```

238

239If a consent banner appears, click "Accept all" or "Reject all" first.

240

241### Set Trip Type (if not Round Trip)

242

243```bash

244agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Trip type combobox ("Round trip")

245agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

246agent-browser --session flights click @eN # "One way" or "Multi-city"

247agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

248agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

249```

250

251### Set Cabin Class / Passengers (if non-default)

252

253**Cabin class:**

254```bash

255agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Cabin class combobox

256agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

257agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Select class

258agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

259agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

260```

261

262**Passengers:**

263```bash

264agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Passengers button

265agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

266agent-browser --session flights click @eN # "+" for Adults/Children/Infants

267agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

268agent-browser --session flights click @eN # "Done"

269agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

270agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

271```

272

273### Enter Airport (Origin or Destination)

274

275```bash

276agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Combobox field

277agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

278agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

279agent-browser --session flights fill @eN "BKK"

280agent-browser --session flights wait 2000 # CRITICAL: wait for autocomplete

281agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

282agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Click suggestion (NEVER press Enter)

283agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

284agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

285```

286

287### Set Dates

288

289```bash

290agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Date textbox

291agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

292agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

293# Calendar shows dates as buttons: "Friday, March 20, 2026"

294agent-browser --session flights click @eN # Click target date

295agent-browser --session flights wait 500

296agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

297# Click "Done" to close calendar

298agent-browser --session flights click @eN # "Done" button

299agent-browser --session flights wait 1000

300agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

301```

302

303### Search

304

305**"Done" only closes the calendar. You MUST click "Search" separately.**

306

307```bash

308agent-browser --session flights click @eN # "Search" button

309agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

310agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i

311# Keep session alive for booking links

312```

313

314### Multi-City Specifics

315

316After selecting "Multi-city" trip type, the form shows one row per leg:

317

318- Each leg has: origin combobox, destination combobox, departure date textbox

319- **Origins auto-fill** from the previous leg's destination

320- Click "Add flight" to add more legs (default: 2 legs shown)

321- Click "Remove flight from X to Y" buttons to remove legs

322- Results show flights for the **first leg**, with prices reflecting the **total multi-city cost**

323

324Fill each leg's destination + date in order, then click "Search".

325

326## Output Format

327

328**Always use compact list format** — never markdown tables. Output is typically displayed in chatbot interfaces (Telegram, etc.) where tables render poorly.

329

330### Economy + Business comparison (default)

331

332```

3331. JAL — Nonstop · 5h 55m

334 8:05 AM → 4:00 PM

335 Economy: THB 23,255 · Business: THB 65,915 (+183%)

353 10:30 PM → 6:20 AM+1 · THB 28,165

354```

355

356### Format rules

357

358- One flight per numbered block, blank line between flights

359- Line 1: Airline — Stops · Duration

360- Line 2: Departure → Arrival times

361- Line 3: Prices (economy, business delta if applicable)

362- No code blocks around the flight list — plain text reads best

363- Keep the "Best value" recommendation as a plain text paragraph after the list

364

365## Key Rules

366

367| Rule | Why |

368|------|-----|

369| Prefer URL fast path | 2 tool calls (domestic) or 3 (international) vs 15+ interactive |

370| Chain open+wait with && | Eliminates a round-trip between tool calls |

371| Skip business for domestic | US domestic business is 3-5x price, rarely useful unless asked |

372| Parallel snapshots with & + wait | Both snapshots run concurrently for international |

373| wait --load networkidle | Smarter than fixed wait 5000 - returns when network settles |

374| Use fill not type for airports | Clears existing text first |

375| Wait 2s after typing airport codes | Autocomplete needs API roundtrip |

376| Always CLICK suggestions, never Enter | Enter is unreliable for autocomplete |

377| Re-snapshot after every interaction | DOM changes invalidate refs |

378| "Done" ≠ Search | Calendar Done only closes picker |

379| After presenting results, offer booking links | Users almost always want to book - prompt them |

380| Keep results session alive; close biz after results | Results session needed for booking clicks; biz only for delta |

381

382## Troubleshooting

383

384**Consent popups**: Click "Accept all" or "Reject all" in the snapshot.

385

386**URL fast path didn't work**: Fall back to interactive. Some regions/locales handle ?q= differently.

387

388**No results**: Verify airports (check combobox labels), dates in the future, or wait longer.

389

390**Bot detection / CAPTCHA**: Inform user. Do NOT solve CAPTCHAs. Retry after a short wait.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈120

always loaded

The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.

8,330

on trigger

The instruction body and 3 supporting files, read only when the skill fires.

4.2%

of a 200k window

Ten skills this size would take about 42% of the window before you open a file.

050k100k150k200k context window

8.4k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

Adoption

Installsnone yet

Ratingno reviews yet

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been published here. It is in the skill’s own SKILL.md, which its author has not sent to the marketplace yet.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It writes no files and reaches no network. All it changes is how the model reasons and writes.

What it asks for

Writes filesno

Network accessno

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

If this is not it

What is in the bundle

4 files, 33.8 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

README.md3.0 kB
SKILL.md15.6 kB
.github/workflows/publish.yml1.1 kB
references/interaction-patterns.md14.1 kB

What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 4 files you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

Updatesevery update its author ships, delivered through this account

You can read the whole bundle before paying — the SKILL.md above is the product, not a preview of it. What the money buys is the delivery: the folder packaged and handed to your machine by key, every update its author ships, and our support if it does not do what this listing says. The terms of use are MIT, set by the author and unchanged by buying it here.

Payment runs through Stripe, on a page like this one rather than a redirect. Once there is an account it joins the same mcprush invoice as everything else you run, so there is never a second card to enter.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. A client with a skills folder reads it without being told; everywhere else the same text works, it is just handed to the model rather than found.

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

No earlier releases have been published to the marketplace.

Reviews

—no reviews yet · no installs yet

Nobody has reviewed this skill yet. The rating is the mean of the reviews written here, so there is none until somebody writes the first.

Who can post

Only accounts that have had the skill installed for fourteen days, so a review is written after living with it rather than after reading it. Publishers may reply once.
