Plan a vacation from scratch

“I don't know where to go or how to fit it all in.”

AI is great at shortlisting places, building day plans with real travel times, and keeping you within budget. Check opening hours and prices before you book.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Share dates, budget, who's going, pace (relaxed or packed) and what you love.
Ask for 3 destination ideas with rough costs, then a day-by-day plan for your pick.
Check key details (hours, prices, visa needs) and book yourself.

Copy this prompt

Plan a [length] trip for [who], [dates], budget [ ], we like [interests], pace [relaxed/packed], leaving from [city]. Suggest 3 destinations with rough total costs. After I pick, build a day-by-day plan with travel times, a packing list, and anything that needs advance booking. Mark details I should double-check. Don't book anything — stop there.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
