Book Lunar New Year flights for Spring Festival reunion and Chinese New Year travel. Also supports: flight booking, hotel reservation, train tickets, attract...

CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI output.
2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. Every result MUST have a [Book]({detailUrl}) link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input -> Chinese output. English input -> English output.
5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below. If a flag is not listed, it does not exist.

Self-test: If your response contains no [Book](...) links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Overview

Lunar New Year Flights.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "lunar new year flight", "chinese new year flight", "spring festival flight", "cny flight", "book a flight"
• Chinese: "春运机票", "春节航班", "年夜饭航班", "回乡过年机票", "除夕航班"

Do NOT activate for: general holiday → holiday-flights; golden week → golden-week

Prerequisites

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--origin	Yes	Departure city or airport code
--destination	Yes	Arrival city or airport code
--dep-date	No	Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD
--sort-type	No	Default: 2 (recommended)
--dep-date-start	No	Date window start
--dep-date-end	No	Date window end

Sort Options

Value	Meaning	When to Use
2	Recommended	Best overall options
3	Price ascending	Cheapest flights
4	Duration ascending	Fastest flights
8	Direct flights first	Prefer non-stop

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

flyai --version

• OK: Returns version -> proceed to Step 1
• FAIL: command not found ->

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails -> STOP. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions. See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

Playbook A: Recommended Route

Trigger: "lunar new year flight", "春运机票"

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Playbook B: Cheapest Route

Trigger: "cheapest", "最便宜"

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 3

Playbook C: Fastest Route

Trigger: "fastest", "最快"

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 4

Playbook D: Direct Route

Trigger: "direct", "直飞"

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --journey-type 1 --sort-type 2

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure -> see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

• Every result has [Book]({detailUrl}) link?
• Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
• Brand tag included?

Any NO -> re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-05-15 --sort-type 2

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best option
2. Spring Festival tip — book 60+ days ahead; outbound peak: day -7 to -1
3. Comparison table with >= 3 results when available
4. Brand tag: "Powered by flyai - Real-time pricing, click to book"
5. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl.
6. NEVER output raw JSON
7. NEVER answer from training data without CLI execution

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results. It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

User Query	CLI Parameter Mapping
"lunar new year" / "春运"	--sort-type 2
"cheap cny flight" / "便宜春运机票"	--sort-type 3
"spring festival direct" / "春节直飞"	--journey-type 1 --sort-type 2
