Travel

Travel booking — Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Hopper — sits between you and a third party (a host, an airline, a tour operator) whose own terms also bind you. Look at the cancellation cascade, who eats the cost of force-majeure events, how disputes get arbitrated when the platform's terms conflict with the host's, and what data is shared with insurance and loyalty partners. The fine print here often changes more between bookings than users notice.
