Overview
The poster tried to have Claude fully book flights and hotel via Expedia and Kiwi connectors, found them poor, and ended up building a travel booking project instead.
Workflow
The user attempted to automate a Warsaw-to-London trip booking using Claude's connectors for Expedia and Kiwi. While Claude could search options, the workflow stalled due to unresolved secure payment handling that prevented card data exposure. The user subsequently shifted focus to building a custom travel booking solution rather than completing the initial automated task.
Reported result
The trip was not fully booked by Claude, and the attempt evolved into a six-month development project. The user noted that a later model release altered their perception of the initial failure, but no specific metrics on time saved or cost reduction were provided. Actual business impact remains unverified due to the lack of completed transaction data.
Human role
Not stated in the source
Limitations
Secure payment processing without exposing card details to the AI or connectors was the primary technical blocker. The source is a secondary Reddit post with HTTP 403 errors, limiting verification of specific technical constraints or costs. Human approval is required for any financial transactions, as the AI cannot independently handle bank-grade security protocols.
Try it
Act as a travel research assistant. I need to plan a trip from [Origin City] to [Destination City] for [Dates]. Use available connectors to search for flight and hotel options on [Platform 1] and [Platform 2]. Do not attempt to process payments or enter credit card information. Instead, compile a list of the top 3 flight and 3 hotel combinations with prices and links. Output the results in a Markdown table. Before finalizing, ask me to confirm the preferred options. I will manually complete the booking. If connectors fail, provide a summary of known constraints and suggest manual search keywords. Ensure no sensitive financial data is requested or stored.
