Review best practices, common mistakes and the impact each has on every booking. [Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/travel/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for travel customer support? An AI agent for travel customer support resolves traveler requests end to end: it reads the request, looks up the booking and your policy, and takes the action in your booking system. BoldDesk’s AI agent confirms the change with the traveler and hands the conversation to a person when your rules or the case call for one. ### Can an AI agent rebook a cancelled flight or change travel dates? Yes, through your booking system. BoldDesk’s AI agent runs rebooking and date changes as API actions, or through an MCP server that exposes your booking tools, and applies your fare and change rules. You decide per action whether it runs on its own or waits for approval. ### Does BoldDesk’s AI agent work with Amadeus, Sabre or Travelport? BoldDesk has no native booking-system integrations. Any system that offers an API, such as Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport or a booking engine, connects as an API action, or as an MCP server that gives the AI agent all of its tools at once. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Stripe are native integrations. ### Is passport and payment data safe with an AI agent? BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant and encrypts data with AES-256. SSO, role-based access and PII redaction are available, and your data is only accessible to your AI agent and not used to train models. ### How do I stop the AI agent from rebooking or refunding without approval? Mark the rebooking or refund action as approval-required, or set a rule such as fare differences over $50 or refunds over $150 needing the duty manager. The AI agent prepares the action, waits for the named approver, then runs it, and every step is logged in its trace. ### When does the AI agent hand a traveler to a person? When your rules call for it, when its confidence is low, or when the traveler asks for a person. The conversation moves to your team with the full history, the booking and the steps the AI agent took, so nobody asks a stranded traveler to repeat anything. ### How is BoldDesk priced for a travel team? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so a travel team can add agents for peak season without seat fees. You pay for the work AI does, not per resolution, and can top up at $40 per 1,000 credits. ### Which languages and channels does the AI agent support for travelers? The AI agent replies in 40+ languages on live chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, and translates conversations for your team, so travelers can write in their own language from anywhere.
