5 Tips to Get the Most Out of AI Trip Planning
Learn how to craft the perfect prompt for Cabana's AI planner and create your dream vacation itinerary in seconds.
Make the AI work for you
Cabana's AI Trip Planner is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket. But like any tool, the better your input, the better the output. Here are five tips to get amazing results every time.
1. Be specific about your style
Instead of "plan a trip to Italy", try:
"We're a couple in our 30s who love food and wine. We want a relaxing week in Tuscany with cooking classes, vineyard visits, and small hilltop towns. Budget: moderate."
The more context you give, the more personalized your itinerary will be.
2. Mention your must-haves
If there's something you absolutely want to do, say it upfront:
"I want to visit the Colosseum and eat at a Michelin-star restaurant."
The AI will build the rest of the itinerary around your priorities.
3. Iterate and refine
Don't expect perfection on the first try. The AI is designed for conversation:
- "Can you swap the hotel for something more boutique?"
- "Add a beach day on Wednesday"
- "Make it more budget-friendly"
Each follow-up message refines your plan further.
4. Include practical details
Help the AI by sharing:
- Travel dates — So it can check seasons and weather
- Number of travelers — Solo, couple, family with kids, group of friends
- Starting point — Your departure city for flight suggestions
- Budget range — "Budget", "moderate", or "luxury"
5. Review and verify
Our AI is powerful but not perfect. Always double-check:
- Opening hours and availability
- Visa requirements for your nationality
- Current prices (they change frequently)
- Travel distances between locations
The AI generates a great starting point — think of it as your first draft, not the final plan.
