ZDNET Tests Gemini on 4-Day Paris and 8-Person Disney Itineraries

Summary
ZDNET found Gemini could build a usable vacation “starter doc” in minutes, creating Google Docs for an 8-person Disney World trip and a 4-day Paris itinerary.
Gemini 3.5 returned concrete planning details including flights from Syracuse from about $230, Montreal direct flights near $405, Disney-area Airbnb suggestions, and Kennedy Space Center ticket prices of $77 for adults.
Across Thinking and Flash modes, the results were broadly similar, and ChatGPT produced comparable itinerary content but could not create a Google Doc without a Google Workspace connector.
Follow-up tests exposed limits: Gemini omitted some accommodation links, truncated a Google Flights table in the doc, and left the reviewer to manually verify prices and attraction details.
Auto Browse added another complication, at times steering lodging searches toward Google Hotels instead of Airbnb, raising concerns Gemini may favor Google services over explicit user requests.
