Search for specific wedding flights, not aggregator pages
A travel agent can pull together concrete flight options if you give it tight date, airport, and airline filters.
- What they did
- The author asked Perplexity Comet and ChatGPT Atlas to look for nonstop San Francisco to New York flights for a wedding trip, with Friday, April 24, 2026 departure after 2 p.m. and Sunday evening return. They also specified preferred airlines and airports, then watched Atlas switch into browser mode and apply the filters after its first attempt failed. Comet handled the same request, but mostly surfaced general guidance and aggregator links instead of individual flights.
- How it went
- Atlas produced 11 round-trip choices with airports, times, and prices, which was more than needed but easy to trim down. Comet did not return a useful list of specific flights. The author noted that their own prompt may have played a role, and both tools struggled on the first pass.
- Tips
- If you want specific options, ask for exact routes, time windows, and preferred carriers up front. Have the agent stop before any booking step so you can review the shortlist yourself.
