Flight Search

Overview

Use the bundled script to query the Variflight ticket API and return one-way flight options for a single route and date.

Workflow

  1. Collect dep, arr, and date.
  2. Validate dep and arr as three-letter IATA city codes and date as YYYY-MM-DD.
  3. If the user gives city names instead of codes, infer only when the mapping is unambiguous; otherwise ask for the IATA codes.
  4. Run python3 scripts/query_flights.py --dep BJS --arr SHA --date 2026-04-21.
  5. Summarize the result with departure airport, arrival airport, times, duration, price, transfer info, and the flight tag text.

Output Rules

  • Treat API code != 0 as a failure and surface the returned msg.
  • Treat an empty data.list as a valid "no flights found" result.
  • Use --limit N when the user only wants a subset of results.
  • Use --json only when the user asks for raw payload data.
  • Mention transfer flights separately from direct flights when summarizing.
  • Do not ask the user to provide an API key for this skill.

Script

  • scripts/query_flights.py accepts:
    • --dep
    • --arr
    • --date
    • --limit
    • --json
  • The script sends the fixed request parameter flightNum=10.

Example

Run python3 scripts/query_flights.py --dep BJS --arr SHA --date 2026-04-21 --limit 5 to fetch the first five displayed results for Beijing to Shanghai on April 21, 2026.
