Tool: search
Searches live flight offers between an origin and destination for given travel dates. Supports one-way and round-trip searches with flexible passenger counts and cabin class. Returns price-ranked results grouped by number of stops, showing the cheapest options from multiple airlines and booking platforms. The tool queries external flight aggregator APIs in real time and includes affiliate booking links. It does not book flights, modify reservations, charge users, or store user data.

Error Responses
The server returns structured errors with suggestions:
airport_not_found-- airport could not be resolved. Try an IATA code, city name, or airport name.disambiguation_needed-- multiple airports found (e.g. "New York" returns JFK, LGA). Pick one and retry.invalid_date-- date format not recognized. Use YYYY-MM-DD, DD.MM.YYYY, or similar.no_results-- no flights available for the given criteria. Try different dates or a nearby airport.
