Help me rebook after I missed my early-morning flight

A Deaf creator recounts waking up after missing an early-morning Air Canada flight and asking the AI to find a cheaper replacement. The AI accessed his Air Canada account, confirmed his Flex ticket could be changed, searched other airlines' prices in parallel, and supplied the airline phone number he could not find; he called via Canada VRS, found Air Canada's own rebooking cheapest, and paid — about 30 minutes total versus an estimated one to two stressful hours alone.

How it works

  1. Ask the AI for a cheaper replacement ticket
  2. The AI accesses his Air Canada account and confirms the Flex ticket is changeable
  3. The AI searches other airlines' prices in parallel
  4. The AI provides Air Canada's phone number
  5. He calls through Canada VRS and compares
  6. Air Canada's own rebooking is cheapest
  7. He pays and is rebooked in about 30 minutes

Why it’s worth knowing

While he was still getting out of bed, it had his ticket rules and the whole market priced.
