Public Search, Private Booking Tools

Why GetFlight keeps public flight search unauthenticated while booking and payment tools require OAuth account connection.

Search is discovery; booking is account action

Public search lets travelers and AI flight systems explore fares without account friction. Booking tools are different because they change account state and can start checkout.

GetFlight separates those paths: public search remains open, while booking, passenger details, checkout, booking lookup, and cancellation use OAuth account authorization.
