# Fallback and Resilience
Tools go down. APIs break. Have a backup plan for every search.
| Primary Tool | When It Fails | Fallback |
|-------------|---------------|----------|
| Duffel | API error or timeout | Ignav, Google Flights skill, Skiplagged |
| Ignav | API error | Duffel, Google Flights skill, Skiplagged |
| Google Flights | agent-browser error | Duffel, Ignav, Skiplagged |
| Skiplagged | 502/timeout (Cloudflare issues) | Kiwi.com MCP, Duffel, Ignav |
| Kiwi.com | Server error | Skiplagged MCP, Duffel |
| Seats.aero | API error or stale data | Check airline website directly, use Duffel for GDS inventory |
| Southwest | SW rate limiting or bot detection | Wait a few minutes and retry. Use Docker (`ghcr.io/borski/sw-fares`) if running locally fails. Google Flights skill for SW cash prices as a fast fallback. |
| SerpAPI | Rate limit (100/mo free) | Trivago for hotels, web search for destination discovery |
