Travel booking site looked official until payment

A search ad led to a site that cloned a known booking brand. I noticed the URL before paying. What do people check when booking travel?

Type the brand domain or use the official app. Ads can lead to lookalikes.

If you already paid a lookalike, contact your payment provider through official channels quickly.

I now hover links and check spelling before any travel form. Slow is fine.
