explore-italy

Book flights to Italy including Rome, Milan, and Florence. Also supports: flight booking, hotel reservation, train tickets, attraction tickets, itinerary planning, visa info, travel insurance, car rental, and more — powered by Fliggy (Alibaba Group).

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.

Skill: explore-italy

Overview

Explore Italy.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "italy flight", "rome flight", "milan flight", "florence flight", "venice flight"
• Chinese: "意大利航班", "罗马机票", "米兰机票", "佛罗伦萨机票", "去意大利"

Do NOT activate for: general international → international-flights; europe → explore-europe

Prerequisites

bash

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)

bash

flyai --version

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

bash

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: "italy flight", "意大利航班"

bash

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

Playbook B: Cheapest Route

Trigger: "cheapest", "最便宜"

bash

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

Playbook C: Fastest Route

Trigger: "fastest", "最快"

bash

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

Playbook D: Direct Route

Trigger: "direct", "直飞"

bash

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

bash

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. Italy tip — Schengen visa required; Rome FCO and Milan MXP are main hubs
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
"italy" / "意大利"	--sort-type 2
"cheap rome" / "便宜罗马机票"	--sort-type 3
