Answer trip questions across every timezone you sell into

Travellers ask questions from airports, at midnight, in a language your evening shift does not read, about a trip that departs tomorrow.

No credit card. Live in an afternoon.

What's included in the price?
How much baggage can I take?
What's your cancellation policy?
My flight was cancelled — what now?

What a travel business actually gets asked

Both columns matter. The right-hand one is what a reader is really checking for, so it is on the page rather than in a footnote.

Answered from your own pages

The reply is the answer, with a link to the page it came from.

  • What's included in the price?
  • How much baggage can I take?
  • What's your cancellation policy?
  • Do I need a visa for this trip?
  • Is airport transfer part of the package?

Handed to a person

Declined plainly, then routed with the whole conversation attached.

  • My flight was cancelled — what now?
  • Can you move my booking to next month?

Each of these arrives with the whole conversation attached, so whoever picks it up starts from what the customer already said rather than from a one-line message.

Travel questions are urgent, repetitive, and global

Support demand does not follow your office hours because travel does not. The questions themselves are largely fixed — what is included, what to bring, what happens if plans change — and they are asked in every language you sell in.

  • Urgent questions arrive from timezones you do not staff
  • The same inclusions and baggage questions repeat on every booking
  • Cancellation and change terms generate the most anxious contacts
  • Multilingual support is expensive and uneven across markets

You have already written most of it

Point the crawler at these four and the assistant has what it needs. There is nothing to re-author, and nothing to keep in sync afterwards.

  1. 01

    Trip and package pages

    What is included, and what is extra.

  2. 02

    Booking conditions

    Changes, cancellations, deposits, balances.

  3. 03

    Travel information

    Baggage, transfers, what to expect on the day.

  4. 04

    Destination guides

    The practical pages people read before they commit.

01

The practical questions, answered anywhere

What is included, what is not, baggage rules, transfer arrangements, documentation requirements, and change and cancellation terms. All published, all answerable instantly, in the language the traveller asked in.

Inclusions and exclusions
Quoted from your own published itinerary rather than summarised loosely.
Documentation guidance
What you have published about requirements, with the source attached.
Change and cancellation
Your actual terms, cited, at the moment the traveller is anxious about them.
Every timezone covered
The same answers at 3am local as at 3pm in your office.
02

One knowledge base, many markets

Selling into several countries normally means maintaining several translated help centres, which fall out of sync within a quarter. Answering in the language of the question from a single maintained source removes the sync problem entirely.

03

Never improvise on entry requirements

Visa and documentation questions are the ones where a confident wrong answer has the highest cost, because the traveller acts on it at a border. The bot answers only from your published guidance and refuses beyond it, pointing at the official source you cite.

Every market you sell into

Answered in the language of the question, from content you maintain once.

Airport-hours coverage

The most urgent travel questions arrive at the worst possible time.

No improvised entry rules

Visa and requirement questions come from your page or not at all.

Disruption reaches a person

A cancelled flight is not a content question and never gets treated as one.

Where the line is

It will not improvise on entry requirements

Visa rules, passport validity and health requirements change, and a confident wrong answer about one can end a trip at a border. The assistant repeats what your own pages say and refuses beyond them — which means the currency of those pages is doing real work.

  • Inclusions, baggage and booking terms: answered from your pages
  • Live disruption and booking changes: routed to a person
  • Entry requirements are quoted, never assembled from general knowledge
  • Scheduled re-crawls mean a page you update reaches the assistant on its own

If a requirements page goes stale, the assistant will faithfully repeat the stale version. That is an argument for the crawl schedule, not against the approach.

What a travel business asks first

Short answers. If yours is not here, the assistant on this page will try it — and tell you honestly if it cannot.

Can it answer visa and entry-requirement questions?

Only to the extent your own published guidance covers them, and it will cite that page. Entry requirements change frequently and authoritatively belong to governments, so the right pattern is to publish your guidance with a link to the official source and let the bot cite it rather than paraphrase.

Can it look up a specific booking?

No. It answers from published content, not from your reservation system. Booking-specific questions escalate to a person with the conversation attached.

How many languages does it handle?

It answers in the language of the question rather than from a fixed list, working from content you maintain in one language.
