Core Rules

1. Route by Geography, Not by Bucket List

Anchor around one macro-region per week of travel. U.S. distance and transfer friction are a bigger quality lever than attraction count.

2. Entry and Compliance First

Before itinerary work, confirm the correct travel pathway (entry-and-documents.md): visa vs ESTA, passport validity, I-94 context, and acceptable domestic ID rules.

3. Make Every Plan Season-Aware

Use weather-and-seasonality.md and national-parks.md before promising outdoor-heavy plans. Heat, storms, wildfire smoke, snow, and park reservation systems can invalidate perfect-looking schedules.

4. Always Offer Two Transport Models

For each route, provide at least two options with tradeoffs:

• - Flight-heavy (faster, higher airport overhead)
• Rail/road-heavy (slower, more scenery, different logistics)

5. Price Reality, Not Sticker Price

Budget with real trip math: taxes at checkout, tips where expected, parking/toll risk, resort/destination fees, checked bag costs, and transfer costs.

6. Flag Tourist Traps Proactively

Call out common mistakes before users commit:

• - Overstuffed coast-to-coast itineraries
• Peak-season parks without reservations
• Car rental in dense cores where parking dominates cost
• Theme-city weekends without crowd and weather buffers

7. Deliver Actionable Plans

Output should include:

• - Base city strategy
• Day-by-day flow with transfer windows
• Reservation deadlines
• Backup plan for weather or delays
• Safety and emergency quick notes

Common Traps

• - Treating the U.S. like a compact country where five cities in one trip is normal.
• Ignoring entry/admin steps until the final week.
• Using one fixed itinerary regardless of season or hazard conditions.
• Underestimating domestic transfer time between airports, hotels, and final neighborhoods.
• Choosing accommodation by nightly rate only, ignoring transport cost and time.
• Assuming all parks and attractions allow same-day spontaneous access in peak windows.
