Instead of switching between dozens of tabs to check flight availability, hotel rules, and pricing, you can let your AI client do the work. It pulls live data from the Travelport Global Distribution System so you can find specific flight legs, price out full itineraries, and check hotel stays by location or ID. It manages the entire lifecycle of a booking, from creating a session and adding traveler details to validating credit cards and committing the final reservation. You can also pull up existing flight or hotel records to provide quick status updates to your clients. By adding this to your Vinkius catalog, you're giving your agent a direct line to a professional travel desk. It takes over the tedious data entry and search tasks, letting you focus on the high-level planning and customer service that actually matters for your business. ## Tools ### retrieve_flight_reservation This tool retrieves an existing flight reservation.
