You can use SlickTrip in Claude to watch flight fares

You can use SlickTrip in Claude to search flights, compare options, and start watching a fare without opening a separate flight-search website. SlickTrip is also featured among the trending connectors in Claude’s marketplace, giving you a timely reason to explore what the connection can do (Claude marketplace, SlickTrip connector).

The useful part is what happens after you find a flight. If you are not ready to buy, you can move from searching to an active watch, then ask Claude to retrieve your saved itinerary later.

The screenshots in this guide follow a flight-search and fare-watch workflow in the Claude desktop app, but remote connectors are also available through Claude on the web (Claude’s connector guide). The screenshots were captured on October 6, 2026; prices are examples from that session, not current offers, and interface labels may change.

Browser, desktop, or phone?

You can use Claude’s remote connectors in a browser at claude.ai or in the desktop app. In a browser, open Customize > Connectors to find and connect SlickTrip; in the desktop app, start from Customize in the sidebar (Claude’s connector guide).

Claude’s iOS and Android apps also support remote connectors. Anthropic currently describes mobile connector installation as beta, so if the connection option is unavailable on your phone, connect through the web or desktop first, then use the connected service in the mobile app (Claude’s connector availability guidance).

The exact SlickTrip card layout and phone setup were not demonstrated in this walkthrough. Use the desktop screenshots to understand the sequence, not as a promise that every screen will look identical on your device.

What the SlickTrip connector does

A connector gives Claude access to an outside service’s tools. Through SlickTrip, those tools include flight and hotel searches, fare calendars, seat availability, alerts, and saved lists, rather than just information Claude finds on a webpage (Claude’s connector guide, SlickTrip connector).

This walkthrough focuses on flights. For the broader distinction between finding an option and activating monitoring, see Your AI found a flight. Who watches the fare until you book?.

Connect SlickTrip to Claude

In the desktop app, open Customize, then Connectors. Choose Connectors rather than Plugins, search the directory for SlickTrip, and open its listing; if you already added it, select the Yours filter to find your existing connection (Claude’s setup guide).

Start the connection from that listing. You may see a screen asking, “Finish connecting a connector?” Continue only if you initiated the connection in Claude Desktop; Show destination lets you inspect where the connection is going.

Claude Desktop may ask you to confirm that you intended to connect a service.

Next, the SlickTrip sign-in screen offers Continue with Google, Continue with Apple, or Continue with email. It describes the account as free, with no card needed; choose your sign-in method and follow the prompts to return to Claude (SlickTrip connector).

Sign in to SlickTrip to connect your account to Claude.

In your conversation, check that SlickTrip is enabled through the + menu and Connectors. Claude may ask permission before using a tool; Allow once approves that request without granting ongoing permission for future uses of that tool (Claude’s permission instructions).

Ask for the trip you want

Give Claude the departure airport, destination, dates, travelers, cabin, and any requirements that matter to you. For example:

Use SlickTrip to search round-trip flights from JFK to London for one adult in economy. I can depart October 20 or 21, 2026, and return October 27 or 28. Include all London airports and show nonstop options first. Compare the available date combinations and show the total round-trip fares. Do not create a price alert yet.

Use your own future dates when you try it. When Claude asks permission, review the proposed search before approving it; a search request and a saved watch are separate actions.

The captured results showed flight cards with airline names, airports, departure and arrival times, duration, and price. The outbound cards labeled the price “trip total with cheapest return,” so a return flight still needed to be selected.

Outbound results can show a trip total paired with the cheapest return, before you choose that return yourself.

Choose the outbound and return flights

Select Choose return on the outbound flight you want. In this example, the next screen kept British Airways BA 178 visible as the chosen outbound while offering return options.

Your chosen outbound remains visible while you review return flights.

Check each return card rather than assume every original preference carried through. In this walkthrough, the return options included connecting flights as well as nonstop choices, and the selected itinerary ultimately departed October 20 and returned October 28.

The return cards labeled their prices “trip total.” The British Airways BA 183 return showed a Watch this fare button alongside Open on SlickTrip and Book.

Review the return date, stops, and trip total before choosing the fare you want to monitor.

A flexible search helps you explore alternatives, but this saved watch was for the selected BA 178 and BA 183 pairing on specific dates. Check that the itinerary you activate is the one you intend to follow.

Start the fare watch and check it was saved

If you are not ready to book, select Watch this fare on your preferred option. In the captured workflow, that button changed to Watching, and a later saved-watch retrieval showed the same itinerary.

You can then ask:

Show me my saved SlickTrip flight watches. Confirm the itinerary, dates, alert trigger, and notification channels. Do not change anything.

The returned card showed the October 20–28 round trip, BA 178 and BA 183, and “Alerts by email and text · new lows.” That describes a new-low alert setting, not an alert for every upward or downward price movement.

Retrieve your saved watch to confirm the flights, dates, active status, and alert settings.

Review your own settings instead of assuming they match the example. Email and text were enabled in this saved watch, but no notification had yet been received during the walkthrough; the screen confirms configuration, not delivery.

If Claude starts another search when you asked for saved watches, clarify: “Retrieve my existing SlickTrip flight watches; do not search for new flights.” The goal is to inspect what is already saved, not rebuild the trip.

Manage the connection separately from the watch

To sign Claude out of SlickTrip, go to Customize > Connectors, select Yours, open SlickTrip, and choose Disconnect. This is different from turning the connector off for one conversation or removing it from your connector list (Claude’s management instructions).

In this walkthrough, the saved fare watch was still present after disconnecting and reconnecting. If you want to stop monitoring the fare itself, use the watch’s Stop watching control and check the resulting status rather than rely on disconnecting Claude.

Keep the booking decision in your hands

A fare watch is not a ticket purchase or a guarantee of the lowest price across every seller. SlickTrip’s connector lists sellers and hands you off to an airline or seller checkout when you choose to buy; it does not sell tickets or take the booking payment (SlickTrip connector).

When an alert arrives, review the itinerary, current total, baggage, fare conditions, and seller before paying. The benefit is a clear handoff from a flight you found to a fare you are actively watching, not a promise that the booking decision has been made for you.

Start with the SlickTrip connector in Claude. Connect your account, search for your trip, and confirm the saved watch before stepping away from repeated fare checks.
