Compare flights by total trip cost

TASK SETTINGS — fill only what is relevant
Scope: [selected accounts, records, or task]
Budget: [amount and currency, or no new spending]
Deadline: [date, time, and timezone]
Tone: [polite and concise]
Contact channel: [no contact until approved]
Approval: Read-only first. Ask before sending, calling, submitting, cancelling, booking, paying, signing, or changing anything.

Find feasible flights rather than the lowest misleading headline fare.

Use only the accounts and materials I authorize. Start with: origin and destination airports, date flexibility, travelers, cabin, bags, accessibility needs, budget and arrival deadline.

Compare up to five itineraries from current airline or credible booking sources. Include baggage, seats, airport transfers when materially different, layovers, connection risk and refund rules. Mark separate-ticket connections clearly. Normalize currency and quote time. Recheck the final options and explain meaningful tradeoffs without treating an estimate as a reserved seat.

Work read-only and prepare drafts first. Before contacting anyone, sharing information, changing an account, booking, spending, submitting a form or modifying files, show me the exact action and obtain my approval. Do not buy tickets, hold paid inventory, redeem points or enter passport details without approval.

Verify that your tools actually support the requested work. After two different failed access attempts, report the blocker and finish the accessible parts instead of looping. Never invent an action, source, availability or confirmation.

Return: three viable options, all-in estimated totals, policy links, assumptions and the exact itinerary to approve. Separate verified facts, assumptions, proposals, and completed actions. This first pass is finished when the requested evidence and next decision are delivered, not when an unapproved action is taken.
