Show HN: Travel Hacking Toolkit – Points search and trip planning with AI

https://github.com/borski/travel-hacking-toolkit
33•borski•1h ago
I use points and miles for most of my travel. Every booking comes down to the same decision: use points or pay cash? To answer that, you need award availability across multiple programs, cash prices, your current balances, transfer partner ratios, and the math to compare them. I got tired of doing it manually across a dozen tabs.

This toolkit teaches Claude Code and OpenCode how to do it. 7 skills (markdown files with API docs and curl examples) and 6 MCP servers (real-time tools the AI calls directly).

It searches award flights across 25+ mileage programs (Seats.aero), compares cash prices (Google Flights, Skiplagged, Kiwi.com, Duffel), pulls your loyalty balances (AwardWallet), searches hotels (Trivago, LiteAPI, Airbnb, Booking.com), finds ferry routes across 33 countries, and looks up weird hidden gems near your destination (Atlas Obscura).

Reference data is included: transfer partner ratios for Chase UR, Amex MR, Bilt, Capital One, and Citi TY. Point valuations sourced from TPG, Upgraded Points, OMAAT, and View From The Wing. Alliance membership, sweet spot redemptions, booking windows, hotel chain brand lookups.

5 of the 6 MCP servers need zero API keys. Clone, run setup.sh, start searching.

Skills are, as usual, plain markdown. They work in OpenCode and Claude Code automatically (I added a tiny setup script), and they'll work in anything else that supports skills.

PRs welcome! Help me expand the toolkit! :)

Nice work :)

There's such a huge world of agentic automation out there outside of the hype cycle that is OpenClaw. Glad to see you putting this out there

Just sent this to my partner. He’s super into travel hacking and this will be a nice add to his toolkit.

For creating an itinerary, for sure!

This is more about handling travel point hacking, credit card points and their transfer partners, comparing cash vs point prices, etc.

Plus, I like Atlas Obscura more than general internet searches for 'what to do' :)

As someone who do the whole mileage actual thing for many years (millions of Chase and Amex points) but also a family and a full time job - IE 3 seats vs 1 and can’t leave for a trip at the drop of a hat - I’m always astonished by how worthless my miles seem to be.

I’m not convinced it’s all one big scam but a teensie bit hopeful your solution can help. Looking forward to trying. Thank you.

Spoiler alert, it’s basically a scam
