Test: can you plan an entire trip with ChatGPT?
E-Investidor asked ChatGPT for a ten-day road trip itinerary with cheaper airports and overnight stops.
What they did
The reporters set dates and asked for budget airports, stops, lodging and routes, and spoke with a travel agency specialist.
How it went
The conclusion was "yes, with caveats": the more data about the traveler, the better the suggestions. Prices and schedules need to be checked.
Good to know
Never buy based on a price quoted by AI. Check the official website.
The prompt
Build a [n]-day itinerary leaving from [city] in [month], total budget [amount], profile [interests], transport [car/bus]. Day by day, with distances, and flag what I need to confirm (schedules, prices, bookings).
