What problem does it solve?
Booking an award flight after finding availability is error-prone: transferring points without a hold can strand them irreversibly, surcharges vary wildly by program, and many partner awards require phone bookings. This Skill provides the operational playbook for completing award bookings correctly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Program Fee Profiles: Compares fuel surcharges and typical fees across 16+ loyalty programs (Aeroplan, Flying Blue, Avios, LifeMiles, etc.) so recommendations account for $100-700+ per-person fee differences.
- Hold-Before-Transfer Rule: Enforces the critical workflow of securing an award hold before transferring credit card points, with per-program hold availability and durations.
- Phone Booking Workflows: Provides phone numbers for major programs and instructions for hidden partner awards like ANA via Virgin Atlantic or JAL via Alaska.
- Use Case: A user finds a 60K business class award to Tokyo on ANA. The Skill directs them to verify saver inventory, call Virgin Atlantic at 1-800-365-9500 to hold the space, then transfer points and ticket the booking.
