Book a Southwest flight from a search
A Travel Weekly reporter had Comet book a chosen Southwest flight on a logged-in account, selecting the fare and entering personal details.
Done with Perplexity Comet
What they did
The reporter ran a flight search in Perplexity's conversational search, then asked the Comet browser agent to book his chosen Southwest flight. He was already logged into Southwest.com in Comet. The agent selected the fare class, entered his personal details and picked the flight. It paused for his confirmation, then bought the ticket with the card stored in his Rapid Rewards account.
How it went
Southwest sent a confirmation email moments later. The reporter calls it an entry-level experience: Comet was new to him and didn't know his preferences yet, so it made no suggestions.
Worth knowing
Being logged into the airline site with a saved card let the agent finish the purchase. The reporter asked it to pause for his check before buying.
