Overview

This prompt plans a trip around an older traveler's pace, mobility and health. You fill in the traveler's age, destination and length of stay, how far they can walk, relevant health needs, what they want to see and how you're traveling. It suggests a daily pace with one main outing and rest, questions to ask hotels and attractions about step-free access, how to book airport or train assistance, a plan for medications and travel insurance, and a one-page emergency card. It recommends a doctor's check-in for some conditions and is not medical advice.

Help me plan a comfortable trip for an older traveler.

**Traveler(s):** [AGE(S), and whether I'm planning for myself or a parent/relative]
**Destination and length:** [WHERE and HOW LONG]
**Mobility and energy:** [e.g. "walks 20 minutes then needs a rest", "uses a cane", "uses a wheelchair"]
**Health considerations:** [conditions, medications, dietary needs - only what's relevant]
**What they most want to do or see:** [LIST]
**How we're getting there:** [flight / train / car / cruise]

Give me:
1. A daily pace with one main outing, a midday rest, and early evenings. Limit walking and stairs.
2. Questions to ask hotels and attractions before booking: step-free access, elevators, grab bars, distance from parking or transit, seating available, and accessible restrooms.
3. How to request airport or train assistance (wheelchair service, priority boarding) and when to request it.
4. A health plan: carry medications in hand luggage with original labels and a written list, enough extra for delays, how to handle time-zone changes for medication timing (confirm with a doctor or pharmacist), and travel insurance that covers pre-existing conditions.
5. A one-page emergency card: contacts, conditions, medications, allergies, doctor's number.

Recommend a check-in with their doctor before the trip if they have heart or lung conditions, recent surgery, or a long flight planned. If they show chest pain, sudden confusion, or trouble breathing during the trip, call local emergency services right away.

Alternatives

  • Plan a relaxed day-by-day trip with a rainy-day backupA beginner-friendly prompt from Dontè's Ask It Simply newsletter that asks any chat assistant for a day-by-day travel plan. You fill in the length, destination, who is travelling, the month, a budget, your interests and what to skip. It returns morning, afternoon and evening plans, one rainy-day alternative and a brief packing list, at an unhurried pace.Travel
  • List the papers, visas and checks you need before a tripA short fill-in prompt for planning the paperwork side of a trip. You give your home country, destination and purpose, and it lists the papers to prepare, the items to confirm on government sites, any health or insurance requirements, payment cards and cash, and copies to bring. It closes with a three-month countdown and a reminder to double-check every rule with an official source.Travel
  • Set pacing rules for a solo trip itineraryThis prompt sets pacing rules for a solo trip, such as a daily activity limit, rest and buffer time, night-time limits and how complex transit can get, then drafts a day-by-day outline using those rules. Fill in the destination and number of days, and check transport and opening times before you go.Travel
  • Combine booking confirmations into one trip itineraryThink Hard's prompt turns pasted flight, train, hotel and car confirmations, plus any meetings on the trip, into a single itinerary for a named traveler. It gives a short trip summary, a table for each day with local times and time zone changes, and contacts and reference numbers. It also lists problems to check, such as a tight connection, a hotel that misses a night or a meeting scheduled before the traveler lands. It copies details exactly, leaves out card and passport numbers and marks anything unclear instead of guessing.Travel
  • Plan an hour-by-hour jet lag schedule for a tripA Points Path prompt by Benji Stawski that asks an AI assistant for a personal jet lag plan covering before, during and after a trip. You fill in your route, flights, sleep habits, chronotype, caffeine use and when you need to be alert, and it returns a schedule by local time for light exposure, caffeine and melatonin with a short reason for each. The prompt itself tells the assistant to remind you to ask your doctor first about any sleep aid.Travel
  • Plan each day of a trip by areaThis short fill-in prompt plans a trip one day at a time, split into parts of the day and grouped by neighborhood. It adds a rainy-day backup, tags anything whose opening times or prices may vary, and tells the model not to name restaurants it is unsure exist.Travel
