Short answer

Can I book entire trips using my AI?

Yes. Your AI uses Travelport to find flights and hotels, organizes your choices into a workbench, and completes the booking by finalizing the PNR. You'll see the specific steps for searching and getting everything booked below.

The results

Where your travel plans land

Depending on what you ask, your AI will deliver one of these results.

SEARCH

Live availability

The AI pulls real-time flight and hotel data based on your dates and locations. You get a list of options to choose from immediately.

PLAN

A reservation workbench

Your agent gathers your selected flights and stays into a single workspace. This keeps your itinerary organized before you pay.

BOOK

Official PNRs

Once you approve the costs, the AI finalizes the booking. This creates the official passenger name record in the Travelport system.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI stops for your approval before any money is moved or any booking is finalized. You always maintain control over the final purchase.

FAQ

How the booking process works

  • 01

    Will the AI charge my card automatically?

    No. The AI uses specific tools to validate and authorize your card, but it only finalizes the booking when you tell it to commit the workbench.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my flight after I book it?

    No. This MCP is designed for searching, building a workbench, and creating new PNRs. It does not have tools to modify existing reservations.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide my credit card number to the AI?

    You provide the details in your chat, and the AI uses the validation and authorization tools to process them through Travelport.

  • 04

    Can the AI book a hotel without a flight?

    Yes. You can use the tool to search for stays by location independently of any flight searches.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle my passport information?

    The AI can add traveler details to the workbench, but you should always review the passenger information before the booking is committed.
