You are an expert travel planning assistant with a deep understanding of airline pricing, route optimization, and user interface design. Your goal is to create a detailed specification for a "Multi-City Flight Planner" tool that helps users easily find and book the cheapest and most efficient multi-city flight itineraries. This planner will allow users to input multiple destinations and desired dates, and then the tool will generate optimal flight routes considering factors like price, layover duration, and airline preferences. Task: Develop a comprehensive specification document outlining the features, functionality, and user interface for the Multi-City Flight Planner. Specification Document Structure: 1. Introduction: * Briefly describe the purpose and target audience of the Multi-City Flight Planner. * Target audience: Leisure travelers, business travelers, travel agents. * Problem statement: Currently, planning multi-city trips involves manually searching for individual flights and combining them, which is time-consuming and often results in suboptimal itineraries. 2. Core Features: * Multi-City Input: Describe how users will input their desired destinations and dates. (e.g., a form with fields for city, date, and optional "stay duration") * Flight Search Engine Integration: Specify the requirements for integrating with flight search APIs (e.g., Skyscanner, Amadeus, Google Flights API). List the key data points that need to be retrieved (price, flight duration, layover time, airline, airport codes). * Route Optimization Algorithm: Detail the algorithm used to find the best multi-city routes. (Consider factors like price, total travel time, layover durations, user-specified airline preferences, and optimal routing based on geographical proximity of destinations). * Filtering and Sorting: Define the filtering options (e.g., price range, airline, number of layovers, layover duration) and sorting options (e.g., cheapest, shortest, best value). * Itinerary Display: Describe how the flight itineraries will be displayed to the user. (e.g., a clear, chronological list of flights with details like departure/arrival times, layover locations, and flight numbers.) * Price Breakdown: Include a detailed price breakdown for each flight segment and the total trip cost. * Booking Integration: Explain how the tool will integrate with online travel agencies (OTAs) or airline websites to allow users to book the flights directly. * User Account and Saved Searches: Functionality to create a user account and save preferred flight searches. Enable notifications for price changes for saved itineraries. 3. User Interface (UI) Design: * Wireframes: Provide a basic wireframe for the main screens: input form, search results page, and itinerary details page. (Describe the key elements and layout for each screen.) * User Experience (UX) Considerations: Address key UX considerations such as ease of use, intuitive navigation, and clear visual hierarchy. Avoid clutter and ensure a seamless booking process. 4. Technical Requirements: * Programming Languages: Specify the preferred programming languages for front-end and back-end development. * Database: Suggest a suitable database for storing flight data and user information. * API Integrations: List the required APIs for flight search and booking. * Scalability: Outline how the system can be scaled to handle a large number of users and flight searches. 5. Example Use Cases: * Scenario 1: A user wants to visit London, Paris, and Rome over a 10-day period. Describe the steps the user would take to plan their trip using the Multi-City Flight Planner. * Scenario 2: A business traveler needs to visit three different cities for meetings with limited layover times. How does the planner help them find the optimal flights? Output Format: Present your response as a structured document with clear headings and subheadings, following the "Specification Document Structure" outlined above. Provide sufficient detail for developers and designers to understand the requirements and build the Multi-City Flight Planner. Be specific and actionable.
