We are going to tell you several things in which AI can help you during Easter. This can range from prior preparations to some help once you are there. You already have at your disposal a large number of apps and websites to organize yourself during Holy Weekbut so much Claude as ChatGPT either Gemini They can also help you by fulfilling several of the functions of these apps, and having them all in one.
You should know that these are just ideas on how to apply the artificial intelligence in travel planning, but You should not blindly trust anything they tell you.because they can make mistakes. However, there are some applications that are quite useful, and I must even tell you that I keep a couple of them to myself after having discovered them researching for the article.
Ask me to help you choose your destination
If you still don’t know where to go At Easter, even knowing that accommodation may already be full in many destinations, you can also ask the AI to give you suggestions on where to go. Thus, depending on the parameters you give it, it will make suggestions that adapt to what you have in mind.
To do this, you have to create a prompt in which you give him some notions of what9 you want. You can tell it if you want the beach, mountains or city, if you are traveling alone, as a couple or as a family, and how many days you have available. You can also give him ideas about your budget.and ask him to give you several suggestions explaining the reason for each one.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I want to go on an Easter vacation from April 3 to 6, we are two adults, we like cities with history but that are not overcrowded, we have a medium-low budget and we leave from Valencia. What destinations would you recommend?”
Create a day-by-day itinerary
Once you have chosen the destination you want to go to, artificial intelligence can also help you create a complete day-by-day itinerarysuggesting and organizing the most recommended visits in a logical manner, and with more or less adjusted times.
This is something that can always take a lot of time to do by hand, and even if you don’t want to trust 100% of what the AI tells you, it can serve as a starting point that you can later adapt.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m going to spend 4 days in Seville from April 3 to 6. We are two people, we are interested in architecture, gastronomy and historic neighborhoods, but we want to avoid long lines and the most touristy sites. Can you make me a day-by-day itinerary with morning, afternoon and night?”
Claude has a route planner
Some AIs have their own route planning system. For example, you can plan routes with Claude with an internal mechanism that asks you several questions to find out what you want. This mechanism works for you to plan new routes and create a map module from an already created one. For example, if you have created a four-day route, then you only have to write the following:
“Group everything in one map module”
When you do this, a map module will be generated within Claude, with tabs for each of the days and a list of places you plan to go. These sites will be linked on the map so you know where to go from, and you can open the route in Google Maps.
Create specialized AI
You have two very good alternatives to create an AI specialized in the destination using only the documents that you give him as a knowledge base. The best of them is use NotebookLMbecause in addition to uploading PDFs and other files you can also add YouTube videos or websites as sources from which you will get the information. You can also use Claude.
The advantage in both cases is that have control of the fonts you usebeing able to add travel guides that you trust to the sources, or official websites where all the first-hand information is available.
Ask him to make your suitcase list
I must admit that I am terrible at organizing my suitcase, and this is something that AI can also help you with. You can ask him to creates a list of things to take which will be personalized depending on your destination, the duration of the trip and the activities you are going to do.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m going to spend 5 days on the Costa Brava during Easter. There will be some hiking, trips to the beach if the weather is good and some dinner at a restaurant. Can you make me a complete packing list, including clothes, shoes, toiletries and various items?”
In case you decide to use Claude, since he can make you a interactive packing list with a check list so that you can complete all the items you have included and know which ones you are missing.
If you prefer you can also dictate to the AI the things you want to have on your list of luggage, so that it is personalized. Then, when something else occurs to you, you can go to the chat you have with the AI for this and ask it to add or remove items, or even ask it if you are missing something considering when and where you are going.
Gemini finds flights for you and compares prices
Although all AI chatbots can help you search for flights, Gemini integrates Google Flights along with the rest of Google tools. That makes the search engine company’s AI the best alternative to search for flights and give you all the information about prices and availability.
To use this function you can ask directly for flight options from your city of origin to your destination by specifying the dates, and the results will be shown to you. The prices it shows you will not always be updatedso it is advisable to go to specialized websites to make sure, although at least you will know the routes that exist.
For the rest of chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude, the most useful thing is to ask them to explain to you which dates flights are usually cheapest, which low-cost airlines operate on your route or which flight search engines are best for each type of trip.
Comparison of hotels and accommodation types
Another thing that artificial intelligence can do for you is compare accommodation types. For this, it will not make reservations for you or tell you prices in real time, but it can tell you the differences between a city hotel, tourist apartment, hostel or home exchange. This will give you a list of criteria to take into account before booking.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m going to Malaga during Holy Week. In which area is best for me to stay if I want to be close to the processions but without paying exorbitant prices? What are the neighborhoods with the best access to the historic center?”
After doing this, you can continue the conversation specifying hobbies or worriessuch as for example that you don’t like noise or that you want to spend as little as possible, and this way you can refine the results it gives you.
Ask him to plan car routes
Beyond Claude’s planner, something that all AIs can help you with is plan car routes. You can tell him that you have a trip from this city to the other, that you have two days to do it, and that he recommend cities or towns that are worth stopping, eating and sleeping.
In this case, the AI will make a route or even several route options for you to take a car trip with several stops, telling you interesting intermediate points that you can choose to make stops.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m leaving from Madrid for Cádiz on Holy Wednesday. We have two days to get there. What cities or towns do you recommend as an intermediate stop to eat or sleep, that are worth it but without very big detours?”
Can help you with your travel budget
Of all the ideas we give you in this article, this is the one you should be most careful with, because It is the least reliable of all. You can tell the AI to give you a quote for your trip, although you should know that when you ask for prices they may be outdated.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m spending 4 nights in Rome over Easter with my partner. Can you help me estimate a total budget, broken down by flights, centrally located 3-star hotel, meals and main museum tickets? We prefer mid-priced options.”
In addition to this, you can also request that give you tips to save in each category, or find you free activities in your destination. If you travel in a group you can also ask for help to divide expenses.
Restaurant recommendation
You will also be able to ask artificial intelligence to recommend restaurants or the typical dishes of the city or country where you are. When you do, the AI will search the Internet for the information and offer it to you.
You can use a prompt like this:
“I’m going to spend three days in San Sebastián. Can you recommend pintxo bars in the Old Town that are good value for money, and also a restaurant for a special dinner that doesn’t have a Michelin star?”
But in addition, you will be able to specify some important thingssuch as specific menu prices, opening hours or even the AI attaching the address of each restaurant on the list to its website, so you can get information and even make a reservation.
Help to translate and communicate in another language
If you are going to a destination outside of Spain, artificial intelligence chats they can help you with the local language. For example, you can take a photo of text in another language and ask the AI to translate it, or you can type text in yours and ask it to translate it into another.
In addition, you will also be able to go to the voice mode that AIs like ChatGPT have and tell it to translate everything you say into another language. Here, the important thing is that your mobile has access to the Internet to be able to do all this. And if you’re not going to have one, ask for a list of useful phrases with their meaning in times when you’re online and keep the chat handy for when you’re not.
Ask Him to prepare you for unforeseen events
And we’re going to end with one of the most underrated uses of artificial intelligence in travel, that of prepare for possible unforeseen events. The idea is to ask important things that could happen to you during the trip and how to solve them, so that you have them in mind and if they happen you know how to act.
For example, you can use these prompts:
“What do I do if my phone and wallet are stolen in Paris? Who do I call first, how do I block the cards and how do I get help at the embassy?”
“What documentation do I need to travel to Morocco as a Spanish person, and what vaccines or health precautions are recommended?”
“What does flight cancellation insurance normally cover and in what cases can I claim if it is canceled?”
Here, you can see that you can ask for things in advance like what to do if your phone is stolen, but also for important things before the trip to keep in mind, like the documentation you need or even if the country you are going to uses Euros or if you can use your card.
