Travel Itinerary Data Querying

Dataset locations (relative to /app/data/)

File	Key columns
background/citySet_with_states.txt	city TAB state — enumerate valid cities
restaurants/clean_restaurant_2022.csv	id, Name, City, Cuisines, Average Cost, Aggregate Rating

googleDistanceMatrix/distance.csv	origin, destination, cost, duration, distance

Common grep patterns

Find cities in a state

grep -i "ohio" data/background/citySet_with_states.txt
# → Toledo, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, Cincinnati

Find distances between two cities

grep -i "^Minneapolis," data/googleDistanceMatrix/distance.csv | grep -i "Cleveland"
# → Minneapolis,Cleveland,,11 hours 14 mins,1219 km

Find pet-friendly accommodations in a city

# "No pets" in house_rules = NOT pet-friendly; absence = pet-friendly
grep -i ",Cleveland$" data/accommodations/clean_accommodations_2022.csv | grep -v "No pets"

Filter by min occupancy

# column 8 (0-indexed) = maximum_occupancy
grep -i ",Columbus$" data/accommodations/clean_accommodations_2022.csv \
  | grep -v "No pets" \
  | awk -F',' '$8 >= 2'

Find restaurants by cuisine and city

grep -i ",Cleveland," data/restaurants/clean_restaurant_2022.csv \
  | grep -i "american\|mediterranean\|chinese\|italian"

Find attractions in a city

grep -i ",Cleveland$" data/attractions/attractions.csv | cut -d',' -f1

Budget calculation approach

1. Accommodation: price × number_of_nights; respect minimum nights.
2. Meals: Average Cost in the restaurant CSV is the estimated cost for the meal.
3. No flights means all travel is self-driving; use the distance.csv for durations.

Itinerary structure tips

• Travel days (from A to B): skip lunch; mark breakfast/dinner based on departure/arrival.
• Minimum nights constraint must be satisfied: e.g., if minimum nights = 3, do not book for only 2 nights.
• Pet-friendly = no "No pets" text anywhere in house_rules.
• Cover all requested cuisines across the trip, not necessarily each day.
