Use Comet to book a Southwest flight after review

Travel Weekly reporter Robert Silk describes having Perplexity Comet complete a flight booking in mid-October. He first used Perplexity's conversational search to explore flights, then selected the flight he wanted and asked Comet to book it through Southwest's website.

The browser was already signed into his Southwest account. Silk watched the agent proceed step by step: it selected the requested flight and fare class, filled his personal details and worked toward purchase. The task therefore began with a chosen flight, rather than asking an unfamiliar agent to infer all his preferences.

Silk had requested a pause before commitment. Comet stopped so he could confirm that the booking met his specifications, then completed the purchase using the credit card stored in his Rapid Rewards account. Southwest sent a confirmation email shortly afterward, which gives this account a concrete transaction outcome beyond a filled form or proposed itinerary.

Silk also notes that this was an introductory experience and the browser did not yet know his preferences well enough to make personalized suggestions. The article does not supply the route, fare amount or a measured time saving. Its supported result is the reviewed purchase and airline confirmation.
