Bookings and Reservation Management

Need to book a trip? Start by making a session with `create_workbench`. Then, you can add specific legs or stays using tools like `add_offer_to_workbench` or `add_traveler_to_workbench`. Finally, commit the whole package with `commit_workbench`. This covers everything from initial planning to locking in the actual reservation. Your agent handles the full lifecycle of the booking process.

Searching and Pricing Travel Offers

Finding flights or hotels is simple. Use `search_flights` for catalog products, or check specific hotel properties with `search_stays_by_location`. After finding what you need, get the final price using `price_offer_full` to ensure accuracy. This gives you a complete picture of costs before making any commitment. You can also search for next segments on an itinerary using `search_next_leg`.

Payment Processing and Validation

The booking isn't done until the card works. Your agent first validates the payment method with `validate_card`, and if needed, verifies the address using `verify_address`. You then authorize the funds using `authorize_card` before finalizing. If things go wrong, you can reverse charges immediately by running `reverse_authorization`.
