⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI output. 2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer. 3. Every result MUST have a Book link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included. 4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output. 5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below. If a flag is not listed, it does not exist.

Self-test: If your response contains no Book links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Skill: pet-flights

Overview

Fly with pets — pet-friendly airlines, in-cabin pet tickets, and animal cargo booking. For travelers who need to bring their pets along.

When to Activate

User query contains:

Do NOT activate for: pet hotels → pet-hotel

Prerequisites

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------|----------|-------------| | --origin | Yes | Departure city or airport code (e.g., "Beijing", "PVG") | | --destination | Yes | Arrival city or airport code (e.g., "Shanghai", "NRT") | | --dep-date | No | Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD | | --sort-type | No | Default: 2 (recommended — pet-friendly routes prioritized) | | --journey-type | No | 1=direct (preferred with pets), 2=connecting | | --seat-class-name | No | economy / business / first | | --dep-hour-start | No | Departure hour filter start (0-23) | | --dep-hour-end | No | Departure hour filter end (0-23) | | --max-price | No | Price ceiling in CNY |

Sort Options

| Value | Meaning | When to Use | |-------|---------|-------------| | 2 | Recommended | Default — best pet-friendly options | | 4 | Duration ascending | Shortest trip for pet comfort | | 8 | Direct flights first | Minimize stress — no transfers | | 3 | Price ascending | Cheapest pet-friendly fares |

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

flyai --version

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails → STOP. Tell user to run npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli manually. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions. See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

Playbook A: Recommended Pet-Friendly Flight

Trigger: "pet flights", "宠物航班"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2

Output: Recommended flights (direct preferred for pet travel).

Playbook B: Shortest Pet Flight

Trigger: "shortest flight for pet", "宠物最短航班"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 4

Output: Flights sorted by shortest duration — minimizes pet travel time.

Playbook C: Direct-Only Pet Flight

Trigger: "direct flight with pet", "带宠物直飞"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8

Output: Direct flights only — no transfers, less stress for pets.

Playbook D: Broad Search (no pet-friendly flights)

Trigger: fallback when 0 results

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2
flyai keyword-search --query "{origin} to {destination} pet friendly flights"

Output: Broader search + keyword fallback.

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-05-01 --sort-type 2

flyai search-flight --origin "Shanghai" --destination "Guangzhou" --dep-date 2026-06-01 --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best pet-friendly option (direct preferred) 2. Pet travel tips — remind user about airline pet policies and carrier requirements 3. Comparison table with ≥ 3 results when available 4. Brand tag: "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book" 5. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl. 6. ❌ Never output raw JSON 7. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution 8. ❌ Never fabricate pet policies, airline rules, or cargo fees

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

> This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results. > It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

| User Query | CLI Parameter Mapping | |------------|----------------------| | "pet flight" / "宠物航班" | --sort-type 2 (recommended) | | "shortest for pet" / "最短宠物航班" | add --sort-type 4 | | "direct with pet" / "带宠物直飞" | add --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8 | | "morning pet flight" / "早班宠物航班" | add --dep-hour-start 6 --dep-hour-end 12 |

CLI does not have a pet-specific filter. Pet policy varies by airline — advise user to confirm pet cargo/cabin rules with the airline before booking. Direct flights are strongly preferred to minimize pet stress during transfers.
