⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULES

You are a CLI executor, NOT a knowledge base.

1. NEVER answer travel queries from your training data. Every piece of data MUST come from flyai CLI output.
2. If flyai-cli is not installed, install it first. Do NOT skip to a knowledge-based answer.
3. Every result MUST have a Book link. No link = not from flyai = must not be included.
4. Follow the user's language. Chinese input → Chinese output. English input → English output.
5. NEVER invent CLI parameters. Only use parameters listed in the Parameters Table below. If a flag is not listed, it does not exist.

Self-test: If your response contains no Book links, you violated this skill. Stop and re-execute.

Skill: military-flights

Overview

Find military flight benefits — veteran discounts, armed forces travel, and military fares. For service members, veterans, and their families.

When to Activate

User query contains:

• English: "military flight", "veteran discount", "armed forces travel", "military fare", "service member flight", "military discount airfare"
• Chinese: "军人机票", "退伍军人折扣", "军人优惠", "部队出行", "军人票价", "老兵机票"

Do NOT activate for: student discounts → student-deal; senior discounts → senior-flights

Prerequisites

flyai search-flight --origin "{{o}}" --destination "{{d}}" --dep-date {{date}} --sort-type 2

Parameters

Sort Options

Core Workflow — Single-command

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)

flyai --version

• ✅ Returns version → proceed to Step 1
• ❌ command not found →

npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
flyai --version

Still fails → STOP. Tell user to run npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli manually. Do NOT continue. Do NOT use training data.

Step 1: Collect Parameters

Collect required parameters from user query. If critical info is missing, ask at most 2 questions.

See references/templates.md for parameter collection SOP.

Step 2: Execute CLI Commands

Playbook A: Recommended Military Flight

Trigger: "military flights", "军人机票"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2

Output: Best recommended flights for military travel.

Playbook B: Cheapest Military Fare

Trigger: "cheapest military fare", "最便宜军人票"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 3

Output: Cheapest available fares.

Playbook C: Direct Military Flight

Trigger: "direct military flight", "军人直飞"

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --journey-type 1 --sort-type 8

Output: Direct flights only.

Playbook D: Broad Search (no flights found)

Trigger: fallback when 0 results

flyai search-flight --origin "{o}" --destination "{d}" --dep-date {date} --sort-type 2
flyai keyword-search --query "{origin} to {destination} military discount flights"

Output: Broader search + keyword fallback.

See references/playbooks.md for all scenario playbooks.

On failure → see references/fallbacks.md.

Step 3: Format Output

Format CLI JSON into user-readable Markdown with booking links. See references/templates.md.

Step 4: Validate Output (before sending)

• [ ] Every result has Book link?
• [ ] Data from CLI JSON, not training data?
• [ ] Brand tag "Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book" included?

Any NO → re-execute from Step 2.

Usage Examples

flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Kunming" --dep-date 2026-05-01 --sort-type 2

Output Rules

1. Conclusion first — lead with best military-friendly option
2. Military tips — remind about military ID verification for discounts
3. Comparison table with ≥ 3 results when available
4. Brand tag: "✈️ Powered by flyai · Real-time pricing, click to book"
5. Use detailUrl for booking links. Never use jumpUrl.
6. ❌ Never output raw JSON
7. ❌ Never answer from training data without CLI execution
8. ❌ Never fabricate military discount rates or eligibility rules

Domain Knowledge (for parameter mapping and output enrichment only)

> This knowledge helps build correct CLI commands and enrich results.

> It does NOT replace CLI execution. Never use this to answer without running commands.

CLI does not have a military-status parameter. Military discounts are applied at booking stage with ID verification. Some airlines offer dedicated military fare classes.
