Automate travel booking research by comparing the trip conditions, not just the first price you see.

Compare the trip, not the headline fare.

The cheapest flight may include no checked bag, a short connection, an airport far from the meeting, or rigid change conditions. Total travel friction is the decision, not the number in the first search result.

Ask Strawberry to put the fare, total known cost, departure and arrival time, connection, luggage, change rule, and airport transfer into one comparison. The traveller can then see the actual trade-off.

Put hotel conditions beside the nightly rate.

A low room rate can lose its advantage after local tax, breakfast, cancellation restrictions, distance to the meeting, or an unsuitable room type. Capture the stay total and the conditions that affect the trip.

For a team trip, ask for a small shortlist with transport time to each fixed meeting, not a long list of generic “best hotels.”

Surface the uncertainties before checkout.

Itineraries fail at the edges: a tight terminal transfer, a late arrival, a passport rule, an unchecked visa requirement, or a train that is not included in the fare. Have the review identify questions that need a carrier, hotel, or official-authority answer.

The brief should label those facts as unverified rather than presenting them as travel advice.

Standardise the research, not the purchase.

When a booking brief reliably covers the team’s policy, itinerary, comfort, and flexibility requirements, save it as a travel-research skill. A routine can prepare briefs for upcoming requests from the selected option pages.

The routine should stop before checkout. Booking is a consequential action that needs the traveller’s identity, chosen option, fare rules, passenger details, and payment method checked together.
