As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly compare package holidays.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsNo price for a human comparison service is provided in the available tool information.
If this goes wrong: you book a holiday with a missed restriction, changed price or unsuitable flight and have to spend more money or time putting it right.

How to actually do it
- Write down your dates or flexibility, traveller details, departure airports, budget, board basis, hotel requirements, flight requirements, accessibility needs and deal-breakers.
- Open the package-holiday pages you are considering and copy the current price, dates, flight details, hotel details, baggage, transfers, cancellation terms and supplier links into the chatbot.
- Paste the prompt and replace each bracketed slot with your requirements and the options you found.
- Ask the chatbot to produce the comparison table, mark missing information and rank the options only against your stated priorities.
- Open each supplier link and compare the drafted price, availability, flight, room, baggage, transfer and cancellation details with the live booking page.
- Remove any option whose live details do not meet your requirements, then make the booking directly with the supplier after checking the final total and terms.
Prompt
Compare the package-holiday options below for a UK traveller. Use only the information I provide or sources you can link to, and separate confirmed facts from assumptions. Create a table with: total price and what it includes, dates and duration, departure airport, flight times and airlines, hotel and room type, board basis, transfers, baggage, cancellation and amendment terms, ATOL or other protection information shown by the supplier, and any important exclusions. Do not invent prices, availability, ratings or facilities. Flag anything missing or inconsistent. Rank the options against my priorities, but do not recommend one until you explain the trade-offs. For every current price or booking detail, include the supplier link and tell me to recheck it on the supplier page before payment. My requirements: [dates or flexibility], [number and ages of travellers], [departure airports], [destination or destinations], [budget and whether it includes baggage or transfers], [board basis], [hotel requirements], [flight requirements], [accessibility or medical requirements], [non-negotiables], and [deal-breakers]. Options or links to compare: [paste options or links].
Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
What it gets wrong
- AI cannot guarantee that a displayed price or room is still available when you are ready to book.
- AI cannot reliably infer whether a vague hotel description meets your accessibility, family or mobility needs.
- AI cannot replace the supplier's live terms for baggage, transfers, cancellation, amendments or protection.
- AI cannot take responsibility for a booking made from its comparison if an important detail is wrong.

FAQ
- Can ChatGPT compare package holidays?
- Yes, it can organise several options and compare their prices, flights, hotels, board basis, transfers and terms. It cannot guarantee live availability or spot every important restriction, so check each option on the supplier's booking page.
- Can AI find the cheapest package holiday?
- It can compare the prices you provide and search for publicly available options when its sources are current. It cannot promise that the result is the cheapest available offer because prices, availability, baggage and extras can change.
- Is it safe to book a holiday found by AI?
- Use AI to create a shortlist, not as the final authority for a booking. Check the live supplier page for the final price, dates, flight, room, baggage, transfer, cancellation and protection details before paying.
- What information do I need to compare package holidays?
- Give it your dates, traveller details, departure airports, destination, budget, board basis, hotel requirements, flight preferences, accessibility needs and deal-breakers. Include the full supplier links or booking details for every option so it can compare like with like.
