"I want to take a family vacation in late August. The plan is simple: travel from upstate New York to Florida, spend a few days at Disney World in Orlando for my daughter (who will be five then and loves Mickey Mouse), and then head to Miami so we can see the ocean and catch a Miami Hurricanes home game at Hard Rock Stadium. Sounds fun, right?"
"The problem is I live in a rural area, and my airport options are not convenient. There is Montreal (which involves customs and traffic jams), Burlington, VT (a ferry ride plus a 4-hour drive), or Plattsburgh, NY, which is 1.5 hours from my home. Plattsburgh is my preference, but it's a really tiny airport, and I don't want to pay triple just for the benefit of a short driving distance."
A traveler plans a late-August family vacation from upstate New York to Florida: a few days at Disney World in Orlando for a five-year-old daughter who loves Mickey Mouse, followed by time in Miami to see the ocean and attend a Miami Hurricanes game at Hard Rock Stadium. Rural airport options complicate logistics: Montreal involves customs and traffic; Burlington requires a ferry plus a four-hour drive; Plattsburgh is 1.5 hours away but is a tiny airport with higher fares. The traveler prefers to research and possibly book earlier than the typical 13–43 day optimal window due to anxiety. The traveler tests Google’s Gemini with specific prompts to check price trends, find cheaper airports and open-jaw itineraries, and understand risks like bag fees and layovers.
