Get destination weather

Get today's real weather for a travel destination by name. Resolves the place with geocoding, then returns the current forecast (temperature, condition, wind, humidity, precipitation). Use this to ground packing advice in actual conditions.

Get destination daylight

Get sunrise/sunset and day-length data for a travel destination: today's sun times (first light, sunrise, sunset, last light, solar noon), a 12-month daylight series, the seasonal shortest/longest days, and — when trip dates are passed — whether the trip hits unusually short (<6h) or long (>18h) days and needs headlamp-type gear. Times are local clock times at the destination. Use this to ground advice about early darkness, midnight sun, and evening plans.

Get visa requirements

Check the entry/visa requirement for a traveller's passport going to a destination. Pass each as an ISO-2 country code (e.g. "DE") or free text (e.g. "Germany", "Tokyo"); free text is resolved to a country via geocoding. Returns the status (visa free / visa on arrival / eTA / e-visa / visa required / no admission), allowed days when known, and whether entry documents are needed. When curated for the destination, also returns the official government entry/visa page (like gov.uk), any official e-V

Get country travel guide

Get a reference card of stable, country-bound facts for trip prep and packing: currency, spoken languages, calling code, electrical plugs/voltage (with adapter/voltage advice when a home country is given), upcoming public holidays, bridge-day (Brückentag) tips — workdays worth booking off to stretch this country's public holidays into a long weekend, for travellers who work on its holiday calendar (not the destination's) — and core geography. Pass an ISO-2/ISO-3 code or free text (e.g. "JP", "FR

Suggest destinations

Resolve a fuzzy or partial place name into a ranked list of concrete destinations, each with coordinates and an ISO-2 country code. Call this first when the place is ambiguous or loosely spelled (e.g. "Barce", "Köln", "como"), then pass a chosen result into get_destination_weather or get_visa_requirements. Results keep the geocoder's importance ranking, so the most significant place comes first.

Build a packing plan

Turn a trip into a recommended set of packs with quantities and total weight. Inputs: destination, duration (days), weather and trip type (required), plus optional activities, accommodation, special needs, transportation, and a resolved visa requirement. Pairs well with get_destination_weather and get_visa_requirements to ground the inputs in real conditions. Only pass optional fields the user actually stated — never fill them with guesses. Returns the locale-free plan (pack ids + reason codes +

List packs

List the packset.travel pack catalog with each pack's id, name, weight, category, and short description. Use this to name real packs and ground a packing plan in the actual catalog instead of guessing — then call get_pack for a pack's full contents.

Get pack

Get one pack's full details by id, including its real contents checklist, packing tips, weight, category, and complementary/alternative packs. Use this so the packing plan names the pack's actual items rather than inventing them. Call list_packs first if you don't know the id.

Check airline baggage compliance

Check whether a bag the traveller already has fits an airline's allowance for a given slot (cabin / personal item / checked). Dimension fit is rotation-allowed (the bag's sides are matched to the limits sorted largest-first), and weight is checked when the slot has a weight allowance. Pass the airline by id, IATA code, or name. Returns the verdict plus a per-dimension breakdown.

Suggest required bag size

Get the target spec a bag must meet for an airline + slot — the maximum dimensions, linear limit (checked bags), and weight, plus a recommended capacity only when you pass a needed volume. This does NOT recommend products: packset.travel maintains no verified product catalog, so it outputs the target spec only. Pass the airline by id, IATA code, or name.

List luggage models

List the packset.travel luggage catalogue — specific suitcase, backpack, duffel and tote models compared by hard numbers (dimensions in cm, volume in L, weight in kg), whether they are cabin-compliant, and an indicative price range. Use this to recommend a real bag by the numbers; call get_luggage for one model's full details.

Get luggage model

Get one luggage model's full details by slug: dimensions, volume, weight, cabin-compliance, expandability, feature list and price range. Call list_luggage first if you don't know the slug.

Get airport WiFi info

Curated WiFi facts for a major airport: cost model (free/paid/time-limited), free-session limits, how to log in (including whether SMS codes reach foreign numbers), the official SSIDs to trust (lookalike hotspots are a common airport phishing trick), VPN behavior, typical speed, and traveller tips. Coverage is curated airport-by-airport, so not every airport has data yet. Pass an IATA code (e.g. "SIN") or an airport/city name. Name lookup covers large airports only — for smaller airports pass th

List major-event packing guides

List the curated major-event packing guides packset.travel covers (festivals, sports, concerts) — each is a specific edition (e.g. Oktoberfest 2026) with dates, destination and a packing angle. Use get_event for full detail, or get_events_near to find events at a destination the traveller is heading to.

Get a major-event packing guide

Fetch one major-event packing guide by its slug (e.g. "oktoberfest-2026"): dates, destination, venue rules (bag limits, dress code), curated weather note and the packing angle. Pair with get_destination_weather / build_packing_plan for a full plan.

Find events near a destination

Find upcoming major events at a destination the traveller is heading to — by city name or ISO-2 country code (e.g. "Munich" or "DE"). Returns events whose dates haven't passed, soonest first, so you can ask "heading to Munich in September — is it for Oktoberfest?" and ground packing advice in the event.

List travel-rule news

List the curated travel-rule changes packset.travel tracks — visa, border, baggage and airline rules that changed, each dated and checked against the official source. Newest first. Optionally filter by destination country (ISO-2) or category. Use this whenever a traveller asks whether the rules for a destination have changed, or before quoting a visa verdict for a trip months out: an item's `graceUntil` is the last day the OLD rule applies and `effectiveFrom` the day the new one starts, which th

Get a travel-rule change

Fetch one travel-rule change by its slug (e.g. "montenegro-ends-visa-free-travel-2026"): what changes and when, who is affected, the before/after table per passport, and the official sources it was checked against. Always pass the source links on to the traveller — rules can change again.
