We Tested the Updated ChatGPT for a London Trip. How it Worked
01.11.2024 - 19:43 / skift.com / Justin Dawes
OpenAI made arguably its biggest update yet to ChatGPT on Thursday.
Users can now ask ChatGPT to the search the web, combining real-time results with AI-generated content. This has obvious implications for travel and addresses early criticism of ChatGPT — that it has been able to answer general questions about a destination, but not share real-time information like upcoming events.
OpenAI says it plans to continue strengthening its search engine with a particular focus on travel.
This new version of ChatGPT most closely resembles the AI search engine on Bing, which Microsoft launched in early 2023. Like Bing, the new search engine by OpenAI is more useful in some ways because it cites links. Also like Bing, the search results on the new ChatGPT search engine can be inaccurate.
Skift tested how the new web search function on ChatGPT works for flights, hotels, activities and attractions, and restaurants.
The prompt: “Find me a nonstop flight from NYC to London for this Thursday for one person.”
The response:
The prompt: “What are some options for a hotel under $200/per night in a trendy neighborhood in London for next weekend? The room should have a king bed and the hotel should have rooftop access.”
The response:
The prompt: “What are some artsy events or places to visit, off the beaten path, for next weekend in London?”
The response:
The prompt: “Find some trendy fusion restaurants with good reviews in London and include a map.”
The response:
This update was a big step forward for ChatGPT, combining the generative AI tech with real-time information.
The dream is that all of those travel suggestions would be accurate, of course, and that they would be bookable through the same ChatGPT platform. And the bigger dream would be that every leg of the journey would be connected with data, allowing travelers to seamlessly manage their trips through the same platform, as well as use it during and after the trip.
That dream is still far away. On top of limitations with the AI, it’s also because the travel industry is far behind the important step of standardizing and sharing data.
ChatGPT is now a better place to start making travel plans, but finalizing those plans still needs to happen the traditional way.

The Best Destinations for LGBTQ+ Travelers, Beyond the Usual Suspects
If you must be gay—and, dear reader, you really must—then it’s only natural that you’ve found yourself here, consulting our list of the best destinations for LGBTQ+ travelers to visit. While it’s true that queerness may be temporarily masked for survival reasons and that travelers should be prepared to compromise on aspects of their presentation out of respect for local customs and mores, sometimes that’s just not going to work. Many countries around the world are safe and fabulous destinations for openly LGBTQ+ travelers. (Admittedly, we're speaking generally here; it’s important to note it only takes one incident perpetuated by one bad actor or group to soil an individual’s trip—and that can happen anywhere.) So what are the places where you don’t have to put your most authentic self away?
