The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me prepare a luggage claim.

Airline / flight: [details]
What happened: [delayed / lost]
Reference/PIR if any: [details]
Contents of value (no serials needed): [list]
Insurance: [yes/no]
Receipts: [yes/no]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Facts timeline to write down now.
2. Costs to list (essentials bought).
3. A calm message to the airline.
4. Deadlines/questions marked check against the airline's own policy and my insurer.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. delayed / lost: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
