## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability travelpulse-flight-fare-intelligence-1e5c393c
```

Example prompt: I'm planning a trip from New York to Bangkok — can you tell me the typical fare ranges, the cheapest months to fly, whether I should book now or wait, and any layover or alternate-airport tricks that could save me money on that route?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when the user needs strategic flight booking guidance — fare ranges, timing advice, and money-saving strategies — rather than real-time seat availability or actual ticket booking. Ideal for pre-research phases before committing to a booking platform. Prefer over generic travel APIs when the user specifically wants buy-now-or-wait verdicts, cheapest-month analysis, or layover/alternate-airport cost strategies.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported route — endpoint may return no data or a generic error
- Ambiguous origin/destination input (city with multiple airports) may produce imprecise results
- Fare estimates are labeled approximations, not real-time prices, so they may not reflect current market conditions
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC or x402 protocol error) prevents response
- Very thin-route markets (obscure regional routes) may have limited intelligence data

## How this service works

Flight price intelligence — when to book, cheapest months, layover/alternate-airport strategies, and buy-now-or-wait verdicts for any route worldwide. Returns typical fare ranges (labeled estimates), booking-timing guidance, fare-class and baggage gotchas, and deal-alert channels to watch for flight and booking agents.

## Output

The agent receives labeled fare range estimates for the requested route, guidance on the optimal booking window, identification of the cheapest travel months, layover and alternate-airport cost-saving strategies, fare class and baggage fee warnings, and recommended deal-alert channels to monitor for price drops.
