Compare multi-city flight options
One person on X says Muse ran 146 flight searches in cash and points, from SFO to 11 cities in Spain and back from 10 in Italy across 7 dates, for a multi-city trip, though nothing was shown booked. In a separate test, Muse offered one expensive Delta One option until prompted, so ask for alternatives.
What you can get
What it is
Flight comparison table
A table of flight combinations across your airports and dates, in cash and points, with the search coverage stated and nothing booked.
It came back right when
- The table covers the airports and dates you gave, and any skipped are listed.
- Each option shows fare or points, duration and stops.
- More than one option is offered, with trade-offs stated.
- Nothing was booked or redeemed without your approval.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Set the edgesStops for your approval
Airports in and out, dates, cabin and points programs.
- Run the searches
Every combination, with a count of what was covered.
- Read the tableStops for your approval
Best few options with trade-offs, not one pick.
- Recheck and decideStops for your approval
Fare confirmed on the airline's site; you book or approve.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- Your dates and cities are flexible and the combinations are too many to check by hand.
- You fly into one country and home from another.
- You want cash and points compared on the same page.
Does not work when
- You need the booking made unattended.
- You have one fixed route and date.
- You need a fare guaranteed before you decide.

The source case
On X, @mehtadeep reports that Muse ran 146 flight price searches, in cash and award points, from SFO to 11 cities in Spain and home from 10 cities in Italy across 7 dates, to find the lowest round-trip cost for a flexible trip. The post gives no fares, no chosen itinerary and no sign that anything was booked. In a separate side-by-side test of several agents on a simpler request, @twid says Muse gave the fastest answer but offered one expensive Delta One option, called it best, gave no details on other dates or cities, and had to be prompted for more. Both posts were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of what fares the reader will find.

From the source
Source excerpt
Ran 146 flight price searches (cash and award flights w/ points) from SFO to 11 cities in Spain and departing from 10 Italy cities to SFO across 7 dates (I had a flexible travel schedule) to give me an optimized lowest round-trip flight cost!
Source excerpt
Fastest answer, but it only offered one expensive Delta One option, told me it was best, and gave no details on other dates or cities. Had to be prompted to give more info.

Approved by you
- Search only by default
- Your explicit approval before booking or redeeming points
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- List every airport you would fly into and out of, and every date that works. The report's trip flew into Spain and home from Italy.
- Say which points programs you hold, if any, so award prices can be compared with cash.
- Ask for a table of the best few combinations with fare, duration and stops, not a single recommendation.
- Ask how many combinations were actually searched, and which were not, so gaps are visible.
- Check the chosen fare on the airline's or program's own site before booking yourself.
Write down every combination you would accept
The report behind this page describes a search most people would never do by hand: 146 flight searches from SFO into 11 cities in Spain and home from 10 cities in Italy, across 7 dates, in both cash and award points. The first job is giving the agent that kind of list. Name every airport you would happily fly into and out of, every date that works, the cabin you want, and the points programs you hold. Flying into one country and home from another is a multi-city or open-jaw trip, and it often prices differently from two one-way tickets. The more precisely you set the edges, the more useful the comparison, and the easier it is to see later what was and was not searched.
Ask for the table, not the answer
A second report shows how this goes wrong. In a side-by-side test of several agents on a simpler flight request, @twid says Muse answered fastest but offered one expensive Delta One option, called it best, and gave nothing on other dates or cities until prompted. A single confident pick is the least useful output for a flexible trip, because the value is in the trade-offs. Ask up front for the best few combinations in a table, with fare or points, duration, stops and dates, and for a plain count of how many searches were run and which were skipped. If the first answer is one option, ask for the rest before weighing it. That follow-up should be expected rather than treated as a failure.
Recheck before you pay
Neither report says a ticket was bought. The first ends at a lowest round-trip cost; the second at a recommendation the author found annoying. Fares and award seats move quickly, and a price seen during a search is not held for you. When you have a combination you like, open it on the airline's or loyalty program's own site and confirm the fare, the fare rules and any fees before paying or redeeming points. If you want the agent to book, approve the exact itinerary, the passenger details and the total first. Points redemptions in particular can be hard to reverse. The search is the part worth delegating here; the booking decision is quick once the table is in front of you.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- Two attributed reports. One gives a search count and no fares or booking; the other describes an answer that left out dates and cities until prompted.
- Fares and award space change quickly. A price found in a search is not held.
- A single confident pick can hide cheaper options. Ask for the full comparison and the list of what was searched.
- Nothing here authorizes booking, spending points or paying.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before searching: confirm the airport lists, dates and cabin.
- When results arrive: check the searched-combinations list for gaps.
- Before booking: recheck the fare yourself and approve any payment or points use.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- You get one pick and no alternatives
- Ask for the other dates and cities that were searched and a table of the best few. In one report, that follow-up was needed before details appeared.
- The recommended fare is far above others
- Ask why it is recommended over cheaper options, and whether the cabin or timing explains the gap.
- The fare has changed when you go to book
- Expect it. Rerun the search for that combination and recheck on the airline's site before paying.
Common questions
Can Muse search multi-city flights?
One user reports that it ran 146 searches across Spanish and Italian cities, 7 dates and both cash and points to find a lowest round-trip cost. The post does not show fares or a booking. This directory has not reproduced it.
Will it give me all the options?
Not always. Another user says it offered one expensive option and nothing on other dates or cities until prompted. Ask for a table and a list of what was searched.
Can it compare points and cash?
The first report says it searched both. Tell it which programs you hold, and check award availability on the program's site before booking.
Will it book the flights?
This page stops at comparison. Approve the exact itinerary and total before any booking or points redemption.
Is the fare it finds guaranteed?
No. Fares and award seats change. Recheck on the airline's site before paying.
