Should every operator trip be instantly bookable?

No. Some trips can support native checkout, while others should use request-to-confirm, external checkout, or operator review depending on availability, readiness, and policy requirements.

Operators should control availability posture, price, inclusions, cancellation policy, required certifications, readiness questions, capacity, confirmation mode, and content/media rights.
