Source-backed example. Practical decision guidance is proposed and untested; this is not a full implementation guide.
The problem
Unused flight credits can be awkward to combine when arranging a new trip and checking what remains payable.
Attributed source action
Reports combining unused flight-credit codes to book a Southwest flight.
Proposed review output
Proposed review artifact: Proposed credit allocation and booking-review checklist showing any unverified remainder.
Where this framing comes from

Case-specific decision guidance · untested
Case-specific decision guidance and first checks are original proposals. The linked source supports the attributed task; this added guidance has not been executed.
A traveller holding unused flight credits may need to understand which credits belong to the intended passenger and how they affect the amount still payable. A successful-looking application of credit is not enough to confirm a completed booking.
A review sheet could separate credit eligibility, fare details and the proposed payment balance before purchase. The traveller would retain control of payment and booking decisions, with uncertain carrier rules checked through official information.
Why an agent / simpler alternative
Useful judgment
Reconcile supplied credit restrictions with a proposed itinerary and flag missing eligibility information.
Simpler alternative
Apply a single clearly eligible credit directly on the airline’s booking page.
Unsuitable when
Ownership, restrictions or the total commitment cannot be verified.

Compatibility unknowns
Unknown: exact runtime, airline flow, current credit-combination rules and fare availability.
External actions requiring approval
Account sign-in, redeeming credits, accepting new terms or completing a purchase; sensitive payment entry stays owner-handled.
Expected deliverable and review checks
Proposed artifact
Proposed credit allocation and booking-review checklist showing any unverified remainder.
Critical checks
Credit owner and restrictions match the intended passenger.
Final fare, fees, payment balance and cancellation terms require checkout verification.
Missing output evidence
No new credit validation, fare quote or booking confirmation is established here.
Failure signals and proposed responses
Signal
A credit belongs to a different traveller.
Why it matters
Its balance may not be usable for this booking.
Proposed response
Exclude it until the airline’s applicable rules confirm eligibility.
Signal
The checkout total changes after credit selection.
Why it matters
The purchase could exceed the approved commitment.
Proposed response
Stop and present the revised total for approval.
Effort and cost — unknown
Setup work
Reconcile credit ownership and travel requirements.
Ongoing review
Verify final checkout details and confirmed booking state.
Unknowns
Unknown: current fares, fees, credit restrictions and refund treatment.
First check — proposed, unexecuted
Status
proposed_unexecuted
Synthetic fixture
Fictional credits include one for the traveller and one with uncertain ownership; a mock fare includes a separately stated fee.
Acceptance checks
Uncertain credit is excluded from the usable total.
The fee remains visible in the proposed balance.
Stop conditions
Live codes, payment details or actual purchase authority are needed.
Limits
Editorial booking preparation; source reporting does not establish present credit eligibility.
Editorial relevance from the title and source-supported actions; not evidence of the operator’s occupation.
