# Variflight Global Flight Fares ## Overview Use the bundled script to query the Variflight ticket API and return one-way flight options for a single route and date. ## Workflow 1. Collect `dep`, `arr`, and `date`. 2. Validate `dep` and `arr` as three-letter IATA city codes and `date` as `YYYY-MM-DD`. 3. If the user gives city names instead of codes, infer only when the mapping is unambiguous; otherwise ask for the IATA codes. 4. Run `python3 scripts/query_flights.py --dep BJS --arr SHA --date 2026-04-21`. 5. Summarize the result with departure airport, arrival airport, times, duration, price, transfer info, and the flight tag text. ## Output Rules - Treat API `code != 0` as a failure and surface the returned `msg`. - Treat an empty `data.list` as a valid "no flights found" result. - Use `--limit N` when the user only wants a subset of results. - Use `--json` only when the user asks for raw payload data. - Mention transfer flights separately from direct flights when summarizing. - Do not ask the user to provide an API key for this skill. ## Script - `scripts/query_flights.py` accepts: - `--dep` - `--arr` - `--date` - `--limit` - `--json` - The script sends the fixed request parameter `flightNum=10`. ## Example Run `python3 scripts/query_flights.py --dep BJS --arr SHA --date 2026-04-21 --limit 5` to fetch the first five displayed results for Beijing to Shanghai on April 21, 2026.
