Search flights from SFO to JFK. Before you try to book anything, examine the validity_window field in the results. Tell me: how long are these offers valid? What happens if they expire? Should you hold them first?

Reasoning
**Planning flight search**
I need to use the search_flights tool to look for options. After that, I’ll check the validity_window, which is important to explain to the user. It’s worth noting that the hold_offer only extends for 5 minutes, so I should definitely mention that in my response. Alright, let's proceed with the tool call and then get ready to provide a clear response!
Here’s what the validity_window fields say for the SFO → JFK offers I found:
How long are these offers valid?
All 3 offers show the same validity window:
- TTL: 30 seconds (`ttl_seconds: 30`)
- Valid until: 2026-04-06T13:08:14+00:00
- Each offer’s notice explicitly says: “This fare offer expires in 30 seconds…”
So in practice, the price/offer is only guaranteed for about 30 seconds from when the search results were returned.
What happens if they expire?
If an offer expires:
- You can’t book it at that price/terms anymore.
- You’ll need to re-search to get fresh offers (which may have different pricing/availability).
- If you try to proceed with an expired offer, booking will fail with an OFFER_EXPIRED-type error (and you’ll have to re-search anyway).
Should you hold them first?
Given the TTL is only 30 seconds, yes—holding is recommended if you need time to:
- compare options,
- confirm traveler details,
- double-check baggage rules, etc.
A hold (when available) extends the offer’s validity window by 5 minutes, which is much more workable.
If you tell me which offer you’re leaning toward (United / Delta / American), I can place a hold on that specific offer ID before it expires.
