GitHub Travel Hacking Toolkit: AI-Powered Points & Miles Booking

Hacker News •
×

Developer borski has released an open-source toolkit that teaches AI assistants like Claude Code and OpenCode how to navigate the complex world of travel hacking. The toolkit combines 7 markdown skills with 6 MCP servers to automate award flight searches across 25+ mileage programs, cash price comparisons, and loyalty balance tracking.

Built on real-time APIs from Seats.aero, Skiplagged, Trivago, and others, the system answers the fundamental travel hacking question: should you use points or pay cash? Five of the six MCP servers work immediately without API keys, while others like Seats.aero Pro (approximately $8/month) unlock premium award flight data. The toolkit includes reference data for transfer partner ratios across major credit card programs and point valuations from trusted sources like TPG and Upgraded Points.

Installation requires just a single setup script that configures your preferred AI tool and API keys. The modular design means skills work across both Claude Code and OpenCode, with project-level symlinks ensuring seamless integration. PRs are welcome to expand the toolkit's capabilities, making this a community-driven solution for travelers who want AI assistance with their points and miles strategies.
