Using ChatGPT to Travel to Europe for Less
Many travelers are always in search for cheap flights and budget-friendly travel options. With the advent of artificial intelligence, particularly ChatGPT, the travel industry is slowly integrating this technology into their platforms to cater to their clients’ needs.
American Airlines is just one of the many airlines that recently joined other airlines in stopping the "use of robotic or automated processes" for booking flights. This is in response to an increase in the use of ChatGPT for searching for lower airfares.
Since ChatGPT is handy when it comes to scanning different flight aggregators, many travelers are using it to look for budget-friendly travel options. For example, Angela Symons, a travel editor for EuroNews, recently asked the chatbot for help in planning the most sustainable, budget-friendly trip to Amsterdam from May 26-28, 2023. The platform recommended some hostels starting at €34 for a shared room and €85 for a private one.
A similar instance was Madison Rolley, a travel blogger who asked ChatGPT to "create a travel itinerary for two weeks in Europe where we would fly in and depart from Stockholm," under $1,000. The chatbot responded with suggestions for Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, and Copenhagen and suggested routes and accommodations that would fall within her budget.
While these itinerary suggestions do not account for personal preferences, they offer a rough outline of travel options that enable travelers to plan their trip effectively and efficiently with the help of ChatGPT.
The travel industry is adopting artificial intelligence to automate aspects of customer service. Thus, many online travel agencies are already using ChatGPT to plan trips and customer service.
Conclusion
In general, ChatGPT has been instrumental in providing possible budget-friendly travel plans that travelers can adjust based on their preferences to create their desired itinerary. It is a valuable tool to have when planning your next trip to Europe or anywhere else in the world
