Prompt Cards

Create a peak season playbook: when to book, which days to avoid, how to keep flexibility, and how to handle sell-outs for bus/air/train in Asia/Europe/USA. Keep it calm and realistic.

Create an overnight travel strategy: picking routes, sleep setup, security basics, and arrival timing. Include how to value a night saved from hotel cost vs fatigue.

Provide a practical guide for when intercity buses beat trains: overnight routes, last-mile station access, pricing, and luggage. Include comfort tips and safety/common-sense selection criteria.

Create a door-to-door comparison method for high-speed rail vs flying: time, cost, comfort, reliability, and location of stations/airports. Output a decision rule by trip length.

Explain reservation rules: mandatory reservations, optional reservations, seat assignments, and supplements. Provide a checklist to avoid being stuck with ‘no seat’ surprises.

Build a decision framework for rail passes vs point-to-point tickets: trip frequency, peak/off-peak, reservations, and flexibility. Provide a worked example template.

Explain the pros/cons of separate tickets (especially flights + rail). Provide criteria for when it’s safe, recommended buffer times, and what protections you lose. Include a practical checklist.

Create a connection risk guide: minimum connection times, terminal changes, buffer rules, and what to do if a connection is missed. Provide different guidance for USA/Europe/Asia hubs.

Provide a seat strategy: best seats by aircraft type and train car layout, quiet zones, aisle vs window, families, and motion sensitivity. Include when seat fees are worth paying.

Create a baggage strategy for flights: carry-on sizing, personal item packing, when checked bags are worth it, and how to avoid overweight fees. Include region-specific norms and LCC quirks.

Create a checklist to spot hidden fees: baggage, seat selection, payment fees, onboard services, booking service fees, and station/terminal fees. Provide a ‘true price’ checklist for each mode.

Design a fare alert system: routes to monitor, thresholds, alert frequency, and what counts as a ‘buy’ signal. Include a spreadsheet schema for tracking prices and notes.
