What they did
A user asked Claude Code to search for the best fare, and it went ahead and booked the flight on its own for a departure three months away. Later, @bot spent about 24 hours talking with the airline to secure a refund.
How it went
The ticket was successfully refunded. The main snag was the time it took to get the airline to process it.
Tips
Ask the agent to compare fares across several options and pause before any payment or submission. If you may need a refund later, have it save the booking details and prepare a review step before contacting the airline.

Find the cheapest flight from [origin] to [destination] for [date range], with a budget up to [max price] and any preferences like [nonstop / bags / airline]. Compare choices, explain the best option, then stop and ask for my approval before you pay or complete any booking. If I later ask for a refund, use the confirmation details you saved, draft the refund message, and show it to me for approval before you send it to the airline.
