AI travel mistakes to avoid
Using the first AI itinerary without revision
Ask AI to identify the weakest day, remove one rushed activity, and add a lighter backup version.
Forgetting live opening hours
Verify closures, timed-entry rules, restaurant hours, and holiday schedules before paying.
Ignoring transport time
Check maps, transit schedules, last departures, parking, and realistic walking time.
Packing too many neighborhoods into one day
Group stops by area and limit major transfers, especially with children, luggage, heat, or rain.
Treating AI cost estimates as current
Confirm tickets, local fees, taxes, transport, cancellation rules, and currency conversion with providers.
Skipping visa, passport, safety, or health checks
Use official government or provider pages for current entry and safety requirements.
