Travel Planning

Add flights, hotels, activities, and reminders to your calendar as you plan a trip. Never miss a check-in or departure.

Add a Full Itinerary in One Prompt

When you have a trip booked, paste the details and ask Claude to add everything to your calendar at once. This is much faster than adding each item manually.

Example prompt

Add my trip to New York to my calendar:

Flights:
- Friday May 15: UA 1234, departs SFO 7:30am, arrives JFK 4:00pm
- Sunday May 17: UA 5678, departs JFK 6:00pm, arrives SFO 9:30pm

Hotel:
- Ace Hotel, May 15-17 (2 nights), confirmation ACE789123
  Check-in: 3pm, Check-out: 12pm

Meetings:
- Saturday May 16, 10am-12pm: Client kickoff at their office, 350 5th Ave NY
- Saturday May 16, 7pm: Dinner reservation at Eleven Madison Park

Rules for each event:
- Mark flights and hotel as "transparent" (free)
- Add confirmation numbers and details to descriptions
- Set check-in reminder 1 day before (email)
- No reminders on flights (I'll get airline notifications)
- Color code: flights=cyan (7), hotel=banana (5), meetings=default

Claude will create each event with the right fields. Hotel stays get startDate/endDate as all-day events. Flights and meetings get timed events with the correct timezone.

How All-Day Events Work for Travel

Hotels and multi-day stays work best as all-day events using startDate and endDate. The end date in Google Calendar is exclusive, so a 2-night stay (May 15-16) uses endDate of May 17.

Hotel event example

{
  "summary": "🏨 Ace Hotel NYC",
  "startDate": "2026-05-15",
  "endDate": "2026-05-17",  // exclusive — covers May 15 and 16
  "description": "Confirmation: ACE789123\nCheck-in: 3pm\nCheck-out: 12pm",
  "transparency": "transparent",
  "colorId": "5"
}

Updating Travel Events in Bulk

If your flights change or you need to update details across multiple events, batch_update_events lets you make changes to all of them at once.

Example: update confirmation numbers after rebooking

Update my New York trip events with new confirmation numbers.
Flight out: event ID abc123 - new confirmation UA-NEW456
Hotel: event ID def456 - new room type: King Suite
Flight back: event ID ghi789 - flight time changed to 8pm

Update all three at once.
