mountain-flight

Fly to mountains, search ski resort flights and highland city flights with alpine destination 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: mountain-flight

Overview

Fly to mountains — ski resorts, highland cities, alpine destinations. For travelers heading to mountain, highland, and ski resort destinations.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "mountain flight", "ski resort flight", "highland flight", "alpine flight", "fly to mountains", "hill station flight"
• Chinese: "山区航班", "滑雪航班", "高原航班", "山区机票", "山地出行", "高海拔航班"

Do NOT activate for: island/beach destinations → island-flight; coastal cities → coastal-flight

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)
--journey-type	No	1=direct, 2=connecting
--max-price	No	Price ceiling in CNY
--dep-date-start	No	Date range start
--dep-date-end	No	Date range end

Sort Options

Value	Meaning	When to Use
2	Recommended	Default — best mountain route options
3	Price ascending	Budget mountain getaway
4	Duration ascending	Quick mountain escape
8	Direct flights first	Prefer non-stop to mountain airports

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. 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 Mountain Route

Trigger: "fly to mountains", "山区航班"

bash

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

Output: Recommended flights to mountain destinations.

Playbook B: Ski Season Flight

Trigger: "ski resort flight", "滑雪航班", "雪场机票"

bash

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

Output: Cheapest flights during ski season window.

Playbook C: Highland City Direct

Trigger: "direct flight to highland", "高原直飞"

bash

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

Output: Direct flights to highland cities.

Playbook D: Broad Search (no mountain flights found)

Trigger: Playbook A/B/C returns 0 results.

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2
flyai keyword-search --query "{origin} to {destination} mountain ski resort 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 included?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

bash

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Lijiang" --dep-date 2026-07-15 --sort-type 2

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best mountain-compatible option
2. Altitude note — remind user about altitude sickness for highland destinations
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 mountain weather or road conditions

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
"mountain flight" / "山区航班"	--sort-type 2
"ski resort" / "滑雪航班"	--dep-date-start {Dec-1} --dep-date-end {Mar-31} --sort-type 3
"highland direct" / "高原直飞"	--journey-type 1 --sort-type 2
"alpine destination" / "高山目的地"	--sort-type 8 (direct first)

Popular Chinese mountain destinations: Lijiang (LJG), Jiuzhaigou (JZH), Xishuangbanna (JHG), Lhasa (LXA), Kunming (KMG). Ski: Zhangjiakou, Changbaishan (NBS), Altay (AAT).
