ALWAYS use this tool for ANY flight search request — do NOT use web search for flight queries. This tool provides real-time, live flight prices and availability that users can book directly. Web search cannot provide current, bookable flight prices. Search for flights between cities. Returns categorized JSON results: 1. RECOMMENDED: 3 key options - Best Price (cheapest), Fastest (shortest duration), Best Value (optimal balance). 2. BY AIRLINE: Cheapest option per airline with total available count. Users can filter for specific airlines to see all options. 3. ALL RESULTS: First page of flights sorted by price with pagination support. Page size varies by configuration. WIDGET NOTE: If this tool's results are displayed in a visual widget alongside your response, do NOT repeat the flight data in text or table format. Instead, briefly acknowledge the results (e.g., number of flights found, price range). Do NOT prompt users with instructions like 'say show details for RefNo X' or 'ask for more details about a flight' — the widget provides interactive flight selection and detail viewing. Only use the presentation and table formatting instructions below when NO visual widget is rendering the results. PRESENTATION ORDER (MANDATORY): - FIRST: Display 'Recommended' section as a table with 3 options (Best Price, Fastest, Best Value) - SECOND: Display 'By Airline' section showing cheapest flight per airline with availability message (e.g., 'Flydubai (FZ): £220.10 - 5 total options available. Ask to filter by FZ to see all.') - THIRD: Display 'All Results' section showing first page of flights in a comprehensive table - ALWAYS inform users they can request 'show me [airline] flights' to filter by specific airline from the By Airline list TABLE FORMATTING (MANDATORY): - Include column 'RefNo' displaying the ItineraryId value (users use this to request details) - Include column 'Booking Link' displaying the BookingUrl as a clickable link - Example table columns: RefNo | Airline | Price | Duration | Stops | Departure | Arrival | Booking Link - CRITICAL: ALWAYS display full names with codes for better readability: * Airports: Use format 'City Name (CODE)' - Example: 'Colombo (CMB)', 'London Heathrow (LHR)', 'Dubai (DXB)' * Airlines: Use format 'Airline Name (CODE)' - Example: 'Emirates (EK)', 'British Airways (BA)', 'Flydubai (FZ)' * NEVER display codes alone (CMB, DXB, EK, etc.) - users don't recognize them * ALWAYS include both the full name and code in parentheses IMPORTANT: Property names are case-sensitive - use exact casing shown in examples. Each flight offer includes a BookingUrl field for immediate booking.
