Could you build this?
Partial While the conversational prompt UI and itinerary planning can be vibe-coded, running exhaustive combinatorial flight searches across flexible dates requires complex flight aggregators, GDS access, or massive API query handling.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires access to Global Distribution Systems (GDS like Amadeus or Sabre) or flight pricing APIs (Skyscanner, Kiwi Tequila) paired with an asynchronous job queue (Celery/Temporal). The core bottleneck is the combinatorial explosion of date/route combinations, which quickly exhausts rate limits and incurs heavy API costs without intelligent heuristic pruning, caching, or custom low-fare search algorithms. It requires domain expertise in airline pricing logic and scalable background task orchestration.
