I confirm with the airline or hotel via their official app using the record locator — not by calling numbers from an email alone.

If the price was wildly below normal, I slow down before paying. Too-good is a review trigger.

I keep confirmation PDFs offline and avoid re-clicking email buttons weeks later.
