The client brief
Elena runs a small skincare brand in Los Angeles. She's speaking at a trade show in Singapore and sent you one rushed email at midnight. You don't book anything. You research and send her options to approve. Made-up client, fake data.
Your deliverables
- A day-by-day itinerary on one page
- A comparison table: three flights and three hotels with price, pros and cons
- Your recommendation in two lines
- Questions you'd confirm before booking
Do the task
Pull out the rules
List every requirement in the email: talk time, window seat, no red-eyes, near the venue, gym, dinner, home by the 16th.
Work out the time zones
Los Angeles to Singapore is a long flight and a big time jump. Count when she lands and how much rest she gets before her talk.
Compare three flights
Use Google Flights. Note price, stops, total time and arrival time. Mark any option that breaks one of her rules.
Compare three hotels
Close to the venue, gym, good reviews. Add the walking time from Google Maps.
Build the itinerary
Day by day: flights, check-in, talk, dinner, flight home. Leave rest time after landing.
Recommend and ask
Pick one combo and say why in two lines. Then list what she needs to confirm, like passport expiry and loyalty numbers.

More tips
- Prices change daily. Write "checked on" with the date next to every price.
- Don't give visa or entry advice. Link the official government page and ask her to confirm.
- Make the itinerary easy to read on a phone. That's where she'll open it.
- Bonus: suggest two dinner spots near her hotel with a reason for each.
