The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan a holiday for me.

Where: [country / cities or places we want to see]
Flying from: [home airport]
Arrive: [airport, date and time]
Leave: [airport, date and time]
Who's going: [e.g. 2 adults in our 50s]
Budget: [e.g. mid-range, 4-star hotels, about £X per night]

We love: [e.g. street food, local markets, shopping, good hotels, beach time]
We don't want: [e.g. lots of walking, early starts, long trips to far-off sights]
Getting around: [e.g. tuk-tuks, minibuses, private transfers, short flights]
Must include: [e.g. 2 nights on a boat, an overnight stay somewhere special]

Please:
1. Ask me up to 5 questions first if anything important is missing.
2. Suggest how many nights to spend in each place, and name a specific hotel for each stop.
3. Give a day-by-day plan with the date and weekday for each day, for example "Sat 28 Mar".
4. Check that travel days work with real flight and transfer times, with enough slack.
5. Finish with a simple summary, e.g. "Days 1–4: Hanoi, Days 5–6: boat".

Keep to our likes and dislikes every time I ask for changes.

When plans change, just say "my new dates are ... same likes and dislikes" and it will rework the whole plan.

For the flight and transfer times, use web search and name the page you used. If it does not search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search. If a time is not on a page you found, mark it for me to check. Do not book anything.

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