Mid-trip flight watcher: free changes auto, paid ones ask first
Travel bots help before takeoff, then go quiet when a flight breaks mid-trip.
What hurt
Gal (@galdalal) built a Grok Bot that works during the trip: watches flights, lays out options with price and arrival when something breaks, makes free changes on its own, asks before anything that costs money, and helps claim compensation after. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Watch mid-trip → free auto / paid ask → claim help after.

The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/galdalal/status/2111565236490956833 (credit @galdalal).
- 2Give the bot your itinerary (calendar or confirmation emails).
- 3Rule it: free schedule changes OK alone; anything with a fee asks first.
- 4When a flight breaks, review the priced options and approve paid moves.
- 5After disruptions, ask it to draft compensation claims for your send.
Approval fence
Any change that costs money waits for your approval.
What to tweak
Steal the money gate: free alone, paid only with your yes.
