Responses may include commission-eligible external booking links for each route.build_booking_linkGenerate only an external booking link for an already chosen route. Use after route details are known or after compare_routes/search_travel_options; do not use as the first step when the user still needs search guidance. Read-only, no authentication, no booking completion, and no reservation side effects. The returned link may be commission-eligible and is disclosed in output.explain_travel_timingExplain general travel timing and logistics, including booking windows, airport arrival timing, layovers, and seasonal considerations.
