infant-flights

Book infant flights, baby travel tickets and bassinet seat options with child fare and infant-in-arm booking. 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: infant-flights

Overview

Book infant flights — baby travel, bassinet seats, and child fare tickets. For parents traveling with infants and young children.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "infant flight", "baby flight", "bassinet seat", "child fare", "travel with baby", "infant ticket"
• Chinese: "婴儿机票", "宝宝航班", "婴儿摇篮", "儿童机票", "带婴儿乘机", "婴儿票"

Do NOT activate for: family trip planning (flights+hotel) → family-trip; student fares → student-deal

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 (e.g., "Beijing", "PVG")
--destination	Yes	Arrival city or airport code (e.g., "Shanghai", "NRT")
--dep-date	No	Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD
--dep-hour-start	No	Default: 6 (avoid early morning rush)
--dep-hour-end	No	Default: 20 (avoid late arrivals with baby)
--sort-type	No	Default: 4 (duration ascending — shortest trip for baby comfort)
--journey-type	No	1=direct (strongly preferred with infants), 2=connecting
--seat-class-name	No	economy / business / first
--max-price	No	Price ceiling in CNY

Sort Options

Value	Meaning	When to Use
4	Duration ascending	Default — shortest trip for baby comfort
8	Direct flights first	No transfers — essential with infants
2	Recommended	Best overall options
3	Price ascending	Cheapest infant-eligible fares

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

bash

flyai --version

• ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
• ❌ command not found →

bash

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

Still fails → STOP. Tell user to run npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli manually. 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: Shortest Infant-Friendly Flight

Trigger: "infant flights", "婴儿机票"

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 20 --sort-type 4

Output: Shortest duration flights within comfortable hours.

Playbook B: Direct-Only Infant Flight

Trigger: "direct flight with baby", "带宝宝直飞"

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 20 --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8

Output: Direct flights only — no transfers with infant.

Playbook C: Cheapest Infant Flight

Trigger: "cheapest baby ticket", "最便宜婴儿票"

bash

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

Output: Cheapest fares (removes hour filter for maximum options).

Playbook D: Broad Search (no suitable flights)

Trigger: fallback when 0 results

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2
flyai keyword-search --query "{origin} to {destination} infant flights"

Output: Broader search + keyword fallback.

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 "Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book" included?
• Direct flights prioritized for infant comfort?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-05-01 --dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 20 --sort-type 4

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "Shanghai" --destination "Sanya" --dep-date 2026-06-01 --dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 20 --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with shortest/direct flight
2. Baby travel tips — remind about bassinet request, infant fare rules, and carry-on milk policy
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
8. ❌ Never fabricate infant fare rates or airline policies

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
"infant flight" / "婴儿机票"	--dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 20 --sort-type 4
"direct with baby" / "带宝宝直飞"	add --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8
"cheapest infant" / "最便宜婴儿票"	add --sort-type 3 (no hour filter)
"round-trip infant" / "婴儿往返"	add --back-date {date}

CLI does not have an infant-age or passenger-type parameter. Infant tickets (under 2 years, no seat) and child tickets (2-12 years, discounted seat) are handled at booking stage. Direct flights are strongly preferred to minimize baby distress during transfers.
