Reading Google Flights results through browser automation

The /travel/flights?q= URL parses natural-language queries like 'Flights to EWR from CMI on 2026-11-13 oneway', but a comma-separated airport list falls back to the home page, so open one tab per route. Round trips work with 'on DATE through DATE'; the listed price is the cheapest pairing, and return prices only appear after picking an outbound. A JS element.click() on the result li does nothing; a real coordinate click selects it. Reading the page immediately after navigate can fail on the loading state, so read in the next step. Sum-of-one-ways can beat or lose to round trip by hundreds on regional routes, so compare both.
