Has Claude Code harnesses built in - and best used in conjunction with a Serpapi key and an expertflyer paid account.

It's open-source and early-stage—check it out here if interested: https://github.com/kavanaghpatrick/rtw-optimizer

Feedback or suggestions welcome; I'm just hoping it might help someone.
Have you tested all the rules?
  • 4k 4l The rules about trans continental in USA and AU
  • 4j QF codeshares on JQ Jetstar
  • 4c must terminate at the same point, except that origin-destination surface segments are permitted as follows:
  • 4f exception
  • The DOH transits
How does it handle surface segments?
