Compare flights for [bounded airports and date range] under [travel requirements]. Create a dated matrix with route, departure and arrival times, stops, duration, baggage, fare restrictions, cash total, and points plus taxes where available. Keep award and cash prices separate unless I supply a points valuation. Cite current airline or booking sources and label unavailable inventory. Recommend a shortlist based on the stated tradeoffs. Do not book, transfer points, or enter traveler or payment details.

How to run it
