## Before you call it

1. Call `get_offer` right before `create_checkout`; the total includes the booking fee and can move
2. Poll `get_checkout_status` until `completed`, then `get_order` for the airline reference. A sent link isn't a booking
3. Never ask for card numbers in chat. Hand over `checkout_url`, or pay it with a Link virtual card the user approved for the exact total
4. Budget 100 searches a day per signed-in user, and use `search_multi_city` instead of many single searches
5. Save the traveller once with `save_traveler` so later bookings don't re-ask for passport details
