How do I search and book a flight or hotel using the Vuelo AI assistant (Voya)?

Voya lets you search and book flights or hotels just by telling it what you're looking for.
​
The steps below apply to both. If you only need help with one, look for the matching bullet under each step (BETA version).

1. Start your search 🔍

  • ✈️ Flights: Type your request into the search bar on your home screen, e.g. "Please find me the cheapest flight to Paris" or "Find me the best flight to Paris."

  • 🏨 Hotels: You don't need to name a destination, you can describe what you're after, e.g. "I would like to go somewhere sunny with good views." The assistant will suggest a few matching destinations as tappable options (e.g. Santorini, Bali, Canary Islands) or you can ask for somewhere else.

2. Adjust your search if needed 🔄

  • ✈️ Flights: If nothing matches your dates, the assistant offers options like "Change dates," "Try a different airport," or "Pick exact dates." You can also reply with quick options like "This weekend" or "Next week."

  • 🏨 Hotels: Confirm or adjust your check-in/check-out dates and number of guests using the editable pills, or open the calendar to pick exact dates, then tap "[X] nights - Continue."

3. Review your results 📋

  • ✈️ Flights: You'll see flight cards with times, duration, airline, and price. Use the quick options: "Cheapest flight," "Fastest flight," "Change dates," "Add travellers"; to narrow it down.

  • 🏨 Hotels: You'll see hotel cards tagged "Best Match" or "Best Value," with rating, reviews, and price. Use "Show cheapest," "Most expensive," "Change dates," or "Add travellers" to adjust.

4. Check the details 🔎

  • ✈️ Flights: Tap a flight to see the full itinerary — outbound and return times, baggage allowance, CO2 estimate, refund policy, and total price (including a live countdown until the offer expires; then tap "Select."

  • 🏨 Hotels: Tap a hotel to see photos, reviews, amenities, and location, then choose a room type: each with its own price and details — before tapping "Reserve."

5. Add traveller details 🧳

  • ✈️ Flights: Fill in each passenger's title, first name, middle name(s), last name, date of birth, and mobile number. The assistant will confirm everything's filled in and summarise your trip before you continue to payment.

  • 🏨 Hotels: Confirm the lead guest's name, then review your booking summary: hotel, room, breakfast, guests, check-in/check-out, length of stay, and cancellation deadline — before tapping "Confirm."

6. Sign in or set up your account 🔐

If you're already logged in, you'll skip straight past this step. If not, once you confirm your booking the assistant will let you know you'll need an account to continue — this is what your payment plan runs through.

  • Already have an account? Tap "Book now," then enter your email on the "Welcome back!" screen and tap "Log in."

  • New to Vuelo? Tap "Sign up": this sets up a Vuelo credit account, which is what your payment plan runs through. We'll run a soft credit check first, which won't affect your credit score. Follow the prompts to complete sign-up.

⚠️ Before you sign up: This is a credit agreement. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay. Missing payments could affect your ability to get credit in future and may result in late fees.

7. Choose your payment plan 💳

  • ✈️ Flights: You'll be asked "Here are your payment options. Which plan works best for you?" Swipe between plan options (e.g. "Pay in 12," "Pay in full"), each showing the monthly cost, deposit due today, total cost of credit, APR, and total to pay. Depending on your account, you may only be offered "Pay in Full." Confirm your payment method (e.g. Apple Pay) and tap "Pay £[amount]."

  • 🏨 Hotels: Swipe between plan options (e.g. "Pay in 12," "Pay in 9," "Pay in full"), each showing the monthly cost, deposit due today, total cost of credit, APR, and total to pay, then tap "Continue" and "Confirm my booking."

Quick Tips 👇

  • The more specific your first message, the fewer follow-up questions you'll need to answer: for hotels, describing the kind of trip you want works just as well as naming a destination.

  • If you're logged in, account setup is skipped entirely: you'll go straight from your booking details to payment.

  • You can change your payment plan or payment method any time before you confirm: just use the "Change" links where shown.

Note: The AI assistant is currently in Beta. Occasionally it may not respond the way you expect — see What do I do if the AI assistant isn't working? for help.
