Prompt Improved prompt

Improved prompt: strengthened by us to avoid the problem in the source. Not tested by the poster. It doesn't change what happened in the source.

Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Plan a family holiday paid for with my points, and get a dinner reservation sorted.

Quick check first: Which points programme and balance, which dates, and how many travellers?

What I need from you:
- Points programme(s) and balance ([PROGRAMME], [POINTS])
- Dates and family size
- The restaurant or the kind of dinner you want

Rules:
- Keep the plan simple: a short list or a basic table, not a designed slide deck. Don't spend time on formatting.
- Show flight and hotel options with the points needed and any cash fees.
- For dinner, find the booking link and available times. If it needs a login, card or phone call, stop and give me the link, times and phone number.
- Check that every option has availability on my dates.
- Don't redeem points or pay anything.

Output: A plain plan with flights, hotels, points cost, and the dinner booking link or the details I need to book it.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you have a points plan you can redeem and a dinner booking you can confirm in one step.
