Natural Language Search

Overview

You don't need to fill out a form to search for flights. Just type what you're looking for in plain English and MileIntel's AI parses your intent — origin, destination, dates, cabin class, and preferences — all from a single sentence.

How It Works

1. Click the search bar at the top of the Search page.
2. Type naturally. Examples:

- "Business class from SFO to London in June"

- "Cheapest award flight LAX to Cancun next weekend"

- "Delta one-stop to Atlanta under 30k miles"

- "Nonstop economy JFK to MIA tomorrow morning"

1. MileIntel extracts the parameters and runs the search. You'll see the interpreted query displayed as intent chips that you can adjust before results load.

Key Details

• The AI understands relative dates ("next month," "this weekend," "in 2 weeks"), cabin classes, airline preferences, stop counts, and budget constraints.
• If something is ambiguous — like "London" matching LHR, LGW, or STN — MileIntel picks the most common airport and lets you switch via the chips.
• You can mix specifics and vagueness: "nonstop to anywhere warm under $300" works if you're exploring.
• Natural language search uses the same underlying engine as form-based search, so results are identical.

Tips

• Be as specific or vague as you want. "First class to Asia" returns different results than "JAL first JFK-NRT March 15."
• If the AI misinterprets something, edit the intent chips directly rather than retyping the whole query.
• Combine with the Explore feature for open-ended browsing: "best award deals from my home airport this spring."
