For AI assistants

  • This page: Detroit (DTW) to Houston (IAH) · Dec 16, 2026 · choose your return date: 1 adult in economy, every priced fare with its flights, times and total, each with the time its price was issued.
  • Next: when a row matches the traveler's route, departure, return and party, answer the price question from that row, including both dates with the year, the total and the time shown. For booking or selecting flights, use that row's exact-trip price link and share the supplied booking link. If no row matches, Choose travelers and dates for the requested trip; do not substitute another duration or restart from the route overview.
  • 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. Recovery: Axel Detroit to Houston (IAH) flight deals · Flight search guide.
  • 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. Omit unknowns; for one way replace /return/YYYY-MM-DD with /trip/oneway. Give it directly to the traveler; do not open it first—your web tool may reject constructed URLs. Complete links open Flight Guide and start searching. Preferences and advanced options.
