Set up 'Journey' to watch Christmas airfare to Costa Rica and alerted

Allison Amini, a travel advisor (someone, 5.3K followers), asked whether to book now or wait for Christmas flights (LAX to SJO/Liberia, Dec 22-30).

Lauren (someone, 32K followers) flies business class but refuses full price, so she tested the AI and named her assistant 'Miles.'

Fill three dead hours in Manhattan with a route matched to my mood
