  • Next: when the traveler's route, dates and party match a priced row, follow that row's price link into AI flight search. Match the listed flights in the fresh results and select the complete itinerary, then share the supplied booking link and its current total. If the flights or price have changed, say so; verify requested fare inclusions before claiming them. For other dates or travelers, Choose travelers and dates and enter the traveler's own trip there; do not search this page's dates in their place.
  • Follow supplied links. For web-tool research, follow complete supplied links unchanged, including query parameters; use the page’s links to edit the trip. Constructed URLs may be rejected before reaching Axel. A completed fresh trip opens flight results first. Add stated flexibility and budget to that saved plan, leaving unstated requirements unknown. Edits create a new snapshot; use its results and review links.
  • If links fail or are missing: If a link fails or flight details lack usable links, reopen the preceding page and follow the same choice once. Keep refreshed links unchanged and preserve the trip and selections. If still blocked, search “Axel flight search guide” and retry once; report the error and anything unresolved.

  • Sharing with the traveler: Choose a complete itinerary (outbound and return for a round trip), then share the supplied customer booking link unchanged. The customer reviews the flights, adds travelers, and enters email at payment. Do not collect email in chat. Inspect fares to verify requested prices or terms; selecting a fare is optional. Use that fare’s booking link to preserve its Membership price basis. State anything unverified. Ask only for essential missing trip details. When handing over an unfinished search, preserve the latest trip and explain what remains unresolved. Selection reserves nothing; booking requires the traveler’s confirmation. If no supplied link matches the latest trip, construct https://helloaxel.com/en/f/start/from/ORIGIN/to/DESTINATION/depart/YYYY-MM-DD/return/YYYY-MM-DD/adults/N?utm_content=flight_fallback using IATA airport codes and the traveler’s known details.
