What's the best ChatGPT app for planning a trip?
Last reviewed .
Use two. Skyscanner (78/100) for the flights, since it is global and handles flexible dates; Expedia (76/100) or Booking.com (75/100) for the stay. No single app covers a whole trip well, and the hotel groups — Accor, IHG, Radisson — only search their own properties.
Why this is the pick
No single app covers a whole trip well, so the useful answer is which pair to use. Skyscanner is the strongest flight leg and the only one documented as globally available. Expedia spans flights and hotels together; Booking.com has the deepest European hotel inventory. Tripadvisor or Yelp handle what to do once you arrive. The hotel-group apps (Accor, IHG, Radisson) are single-brand and cannot compare across groups, so treat them as loyalty tools rather than search.

When to pick what
Use these rules in order — the first match wins.
If you are booking the flight, pick Skyscanner.
If you want flights and hotels in one place, pick Expedia.
If you want to compare fares across providers, pick Kayak.
If you need deep European hotel inventory, pick Booking.com.
If you are deciding what to do at the destination, pick Tripadvisor.
