Copilot prompts

The next level of search functionality, Copilot offers AI-powered suggestions that deliver comprehensive and creative answers to complex questions and requests. Try these kinds of prompts to start working toward the itinerary you want:

• Open-ended questions. Where should I go on my next adventure? What’s a good day trip from [location]?
  
• Personalized recommendations. I loved Amsterdam for its museums and canals. Where should I go next, and what should I do there?
  
• Budget-related queries. Leaving from [location], what is the least expensive destination in [location], and how much money will I need for a one-week trip staying in swanky hotels?
  
• Flight info. What’s the best deal on a nonstop flight from [location] to [location] from December 28-January 2?
  
• Destination comparisons. Compare travel to [location] vs. [location] based on cost, quality of activities, hotels, and best time of year to go.
  
• Summaries. Sum up the history of [location].
  
• Activities. I’m traveling to [location] with a high school choir of twelve sixteen-year-olds. What activities can we do in the evenings?
  
• Packing lists. I’m going backpacking across [location]. Write up a packing list of the fewest and lightest items possible that I will need for a two-week trip.
  
• Full itinerary. I plan to spend three days in [location]. I want to see historic sites, go to the best nightclub, and hike to a waterfall. Write up a full itinerary that includes all of this and suggestions of where to eat lunch and dinner along the way.

You can continue the conversation with Copilot to ask for more details, different results, or whatever else comes to mind. Copilot can provide extensive answers including maps, hotel reviews, images of the location, links to more flight information, activity cards, and more. It may also offer new avenues of research by suggesting your next search topic. Land on the itinerary you want by telling Copilot when to change course, offer more of a good idea, or help you brainstorm other possibilities.

Generate text for playful itineraries and more

You can also use Copilot to generate text in an expansive range of tones, formats, and lengths. You can ask it to generate an itinerary or packing list with creative or linguistic flair. Do you want it to whip up a poem that includes all the destinations on your round-the-world trip? Consider it done! Would you like one itinerary in formal language for your colleagues and a matching itinerary in the style of a stand-up comic just for you? Sure! This is one more way Copilot can make your trip that much more enjoyable.

With these time-saving features, you can spend less time creating itineraries and more time enjoying them. Start planning your next dream getaway with Copilot.
