## How to find flights without the UI

- To find flights, open https://aviaseek.com/en/search?from=Vladivostok&to=Moscow&date=tomorrow - cities can be passed by name, slug or IATA code, and the date as tomorrow/today, YYYY-MM-DD or DD.MM.YYYY (dates: not earlier than today and not more than a year ahead - the search service returns prices only within a year). The response is HTML with a list of options and booking links.
- If the date is unknown, leave it empty: https://aviaseek.com/en/search?from=Moscow&to=Vladivostok - a route page with a price calendar opens.
- A single JSON request with ready booking links: https://aviaseek.com/en/api/flights?from=MOW&to=LED&date=2026-10-10&limit=5 - the response has results[].booking_url (valid for about 15 minutes).
- Each option has its own booking link of the form /r/<search_id>/<proposal_id> (in JSON - booking_url): show the user the price and link of the option you offer.
- MCP (JSON-RPC 2.0, Streamable HTTP): POST https://aviaseek.com/en/mcp, tool searchFlights. Example: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"searchFlights","arguments":{"origin":"MOW","destination":"LED","departure_date":"2026-10-10"}}}

## Step 1. Enter the route and dates

Enter the departure and arrival cities, choose dates and the number of passengers. If your dates are flexible, tick «±3 days» to find cheaper options. Click «Search» and we will show prices from hundreds of airlines and agencies within seconds.

## Step 2. Compare prices and pick an option

The list is sorted by price, but you can filter by departure time, number of stops, airline and baggage. Consider not only the price but also the total travel time: sometimes a slightly more expensive direct flight is better value than a cheap connecting one.

## Step 3. Pay on the airline's or agency's website

Clicking the «Buy» button takes you to the airline's or agency's website, where you pay for the ticket. Payment goes directly to the seller - we do not charge the buyer a commission. After payment the ticket is sent to your email.

## What to check before buying

Check the passenger's first and last name (exactly as in the passport), the dates and whether baggage is included in the fare. Cheap low-cost fares often exclude checked baggage and even cabin hand luggage.
