Frequently asked questions
What do the UK and US governments advise about a country?
You get the UK FCDO alert with its review date and latest change, plus the US State Department level (1 to 4), summary and date, with official links. Pass one country name or two-letter ISO code to get_travel_advice.
UK advice is written for British citizens and US advice for US citizens, so check your own government's advice. It is not medical, legal or safety advice, and advisories change, so confirm on the official page before you travel. Tool: get_travel_advice on https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp.
What are the UK entry requirements for a country?
You get the UK entry requirements section for the country, alongside the advisory summary and official links. Pass the country name or ISO code to get_travel_advice and set section to entry-requirements.
This is UK advice for British citizens and does not include visa rules for other nationalities. The answer links to the official page, so confirm there before you travel. Setting section to safety or health adds those parts instead. Tool: get_travel_advice on https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp.
Compare travel advisories for several countries?
You get the UK alert and the US level (1 to 4) side by side for each country, with dates and official links. Pass 1 to 5 country names or ISO codes to compare_advisories.
Each country has its own status: one can be not_found or ambiguous while the others are ok. If the UK or US side is none or unavailable for a country, the other side and its link are reported. UK advice is for British citizens and US advice for US citizens. Tool: compare_advisories on https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp.
Is a US airport delayed or closed right now?
You get active FAA delays, ground stops and closures with reason and times, plus the latest weather observation and forecast. Pass the IATA code, such as JFK, to get_airport_status.
FAA delay data covers US airports only. This is not for looking up a flight by number or for flight planning, and it does not say whether a flight will leave on time. Tool: get_airport_status on https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp.
Current weather and forecast at an airport?
You get the latest METAR observation (flight category, temperature, wind, visibility) and the raw TAF forecast. Pass the four-letter ICAO code, such as EGLL, to get_airport_status for an airport outside the US.
US airports can use the IATA code, such as JFK. If the status is not_found, give the ICAO code and ask again. The data is not for flight planning. Tool: get_airport_status on https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp.
