search_flights

Search hundreds of airlines for live flight prices — completely FREE, unlimited, read-only. Returns structured offers with prices, airlines, times, durations, and stopovers. Some offers carry `starlink` for in-flight Starlink Wi-Fi: "confirmed_all" / "confirmed_some" mean the carrier has FULLY fitted that aircraft type, "likely_all" / "likely_some" mean the rollout on that type is underway but incomplete. State only "confirmed_*" as fact; describe "likely_*" as "the airline is fitting this aircraft type, not guaranteed on your flight". Anything ending in "_some" has at least one leg WITHOUT it. An absent field means no information, NOT an absence of Wi-Fi. Covers airlines across all continents including low-cost carriers. Search is async: this tool polls for you, including waiting out the late split-ticket merge. Some offers are SPLIT TICKETS: two separately-issued tickets through a hub, each leg booked from whatever is cheapest for it (usually two different airlines), because no one seller offers the combination as a single ticket. They carry `split_ticket: "true"`, `combo_type: "virtual_interlining"` and `self_transfer: "unprotected"`. ALWAYS tell the user when an offer is a split ticket and what unprotected means: the tickets are not linked, so if the first flight is late and the connection is missed, the second airline owes nothing — no rebooking, no refund. Never present a split ticket as though it were one through-fare. Requires LETSFG_BEARER_TOKEN or LETSFG_API_KEY. See letsfg://guide resource for the full authenticate->search->book workflow.
