SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fare search tools and GDS sources sometimes miss regional routes or disagree about whether a route exists, especially for carriers like Southwest that are absent from most GDS feeds. This Skill uses Wikipedia airport pages as a route discovery and sanity-check source so you know which routes are worth searching before booking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Route Discovery: Resolve an airport page from an IATA code via the Wikipedia API and read its Airlines and destinations section to list served destinations.
  • Airline Service Verification: Check whether a specific carrier flies a city pair, cross-referencing airline marketing pages when airport pages are incomplete.
  • Split-Return Planning: Identify alternate airports served from your origin for late split-return itineraries.
  • Use Case: You want to know if Southwest flies SAN to EUG. Query the San Diego International Airport Wikipedia page, find Southwest and Eugene in the destinations table, then confirm the lead with Southwest route pages and fare tools before booking.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to check Wikipedia for which destinations are served from SAN and whether Southwest flies from San Diego to Eugene.

Frequently Asked Questions about wikipedia-airports

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find which destinations an airport serves?▼

Search Wikipedia for the airport page using the IATA code plus the word airport, then fetch the page wikitext via the Wikipedia parse API. Look for the Airlines and destinations section, which lists carriers and the cities they serve nonstop.

How can I check if an airline flies a specific route?▼

Fetch the departure airport's Wikipedia page and search the wikitext for the airline and destination city names. If the airport page is incomplete, cross-check the airline's own city-pair marketing pages, then confirm with fare tools like Google Flights or Kiwi.

Does Wikipedia route data work for Southwest flights?▼

Yes, and it is especially useful there because Southwest is missing from most GDS sources. Wikipedia airport pages and Southwest's own route marketing pages often confirm service that award and cash search APIs cannot show.

Can I use Wikipedia to check flight schedules or fares?▼

No. Wikipedia is not a real-time schedule or pricing source, so it cannot confirm whether a flight operates on a specific date or what it costs. Use it only to discover likely routes, then confirm schedules and fares with airline or fare search tools.

What should I do when Wikipedia and fare tools disagree about a route?▼

Trust the fare and schedule sources for booking decisions, since Wikipedia pages vary in quality and can be stale. Treat Wikipedia as a discovery lead that tells you to search a route rather than assume it does not exist.
