Can you book flights and hotels using AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The short answer is\u2026 kind of, but none of the AI chatbots are reliable, so you\u2019ll still need to do your own research at this stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having recently spent hours researching flights and accommodation for a three-week trip to Japan, I decided to compare my results to Bard and ChatGPT\u2019s suggestions.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Bard is actually surprisingly good at finding flights. A simple request for flights from Melbourne and Tokyo on a particular day returned options with major carriers like Qantas and Japan Airlines, which is probably what many people would be after.<\/p>\n

Bard was then able to further refine the results to \u201ccheapest direct flight, with seat selection, a minimum 15 kilograms of luggage and a meal,\u201d finding an Air Asia flight from Melbourne to Osaka that was cheaper than the one I\u2019d booked to Tokyo.<\/p>\n
