Book a Southwest fare from a search result
A reporter used Comet to turn a flight search into a Southwest booking on a logged-in account.
- What they did
- They first searched for flights in Perplexity’s chat-style search. Then they opened Comet, asked it to book the Southwest option they had chosen, and let it pick the fare, enter their details, and choose the flight while signed into Southwest.com.
- How it went
- Comet paused before checkout, then completed the purchase using the card saved in the reporter’s Rapid Rewards account. Southwest emailed the confirmation a few moments later. The reporter said the experience was basic and that the agent offered no suggestions because it was still unfamiliar with their preferences.
- Tips
- Having an active login and stored payment method made the booking possible. It’s still smart to have the agent stop and ask before any final purchase.
