AI travel agent ancillary stack checklist
Use this checklist when you are past the demo planner and need a fulfillment stack: flights (or stays), ancillaries, agent tools, and metering.
Email gate → thank-you page → PDF. The checklist PDF is at public/downloads/ai-travel-agent-ancillary-stack-checklist.pdf.
Stack layers the PDF walks through
- Air / stays source of truth — offers, orders, bags/seats where the air API supports them (after Duffel framing).
- Ancillary shelf — insurance, eSIM, lounge, fast track, transfers, document checks.
- Runtime — MCP and/or REST, strict schemas, human confirmation on paid issuance.
- Ledger — quoted cost, tags, budgets, idempotency, audit.
- Playbooks — versioned recipes (layover kit, long-haul kit).
- Compliance posture — no invented policy/immigration text; supplier relay.
Companion narrative: Build an AI travel agent that fulfills ancillaries.
Insurance-scoped sibling: Insurance vs a multi-ancillary shelf.

Questions
- How is this different from the insurance vs multi-ancillary checklist?
- That checklist focuses on expanding beyond a single cover integration. This one covers the full builder stack—air, ancillaries, runtime, ledger, and playbooks.
- Is the PDF ready?
- Yes. The checklist PDF is available to download via the email gate.
