Get rebooked fast when your flight is delayed
When a flight slips, an agent can find the fastest alternative that still gets you there on time and book it for you.
What the bot does
- Notices the delay from your airline email or what you tell it.
- Searches for the fastest flight that gets you there on time.
- Books it, if you've allowed that.
- Sends you the new confirmation and a note on what to do with the old ticket.
What you end up with
A new flight confirmation in your chat, without hours on hold or in the app.
