Use an agent to start a flight booking, then hand off
An agent surfaced flight options quickly, but airline and travel sites prevented it from completing the reservation.
- What they did
- A user asked an AI agent to arrange travel from Munich to London on the 25th. The agent checked Google Flights first, then tried to carry the booking through airline and travel portals. Several services challenged or refused the automation; only Kiwi’s MCP server produced flight results and a link that sent the user to finish the process themselves.
- How it went
- The process stopped before the passenger-information step on the usual booking sites, so the ticket was never issued. Kiwi’s MCP server was the only successful leg, returning 15 flights in less than four seconds and passing the user to manual checkout.
- Tips
- Travel sites often tighten controls when an agent reaches checkout, so expect a handoff instead of a fully automatic purchase. Keep the agent from entering payment or traveler details until you confirm the final option.

Check Google Flights first, then review the airline’s booking page and a few major travel sites. Give me the cheapest and most convenient choices with timing, fare, and baggage details, then open the booking path for the one you recommend. Pause before any passenger details, payment entry, or final submission, and wait for my approval.
