Flight Search & Optimizer FAQs

Question 1

What API keys do I need to use this skill?

Accepted Answer

You need a Duffel API access token (live or test mode) set as the DUFFEL_API_KEY environment variable. It also supports fast-flights as an optional scraper fallback.

Question 2

Does it support round-trip pricing optimization?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it evaluates two different strategies: booking three independent one-way flights or splitting the journey into round-trip pairs, which often results in lower airline pricing.

Question 3

How does the flight scoring model work?

Accepted Answer

It calculates a total score based on the ticket price plus weighted 'penalties' for duration ($20 per hour), number of stops ($200 per stop), and weekdays spent away ($200 per day) to find the most efficient route.

Question 4

Can I filter flights by specific constraints?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the optimizer allows you to configure hard constraints such as maximum stops per leg, maximum layover hours, and requirements for single-carrier connections.

Question 5

What kind of output does the flight search generate?

Accepted Answer

The skill prints the top 10 itineraries directly to the console with detailed leg information and saves the top 30 results to a JSON file for further review.
