Who This Is Useful For
- Anyone planning personal travel who is tired of bouncing between flights, hotels, maps, and random blog posts
- Operators, assistants, and founders who need a fast first draft for a work trip without doing two hours of manual research
- Perplexity Pro users who want to see whether Computer is worth spending credits on
What You Will Build
You will create a travel-agent-style itinerary PDF that you can use as a booking-ready first draft.
- Flight options with pricing
- A day-by-day itinerary
- Hotel or stay options
- Transfers between cities
- Links to sources
What You Need
- A Perplexity Pro account with access to Perplexity Computer
- Optional: check your Perplexity Computer credits before you start
- If you have Perplexity Pro, check your credits before starting. Perplexity gave Pro users 4,000 bonus credits to test Computer, expiring April 13, 2026. The source notes that this should work if you sign up for Pro for the first time too.
Going Further
- After generating the itinerary, download the PDF, ask Perplexity for a one-page “at a glance” version, or reuse the plan by asking Perplexity Computer to create an interactive calendar website you can use to plan and tweak your trip.
Treat the prompt like a real travel brief: add constraints such as preferred airlines, direct flights, or minimizing hotel changes.
