// FAQs
const LAST_FAQS = [
  { q: "Are last-minute flights actually cheaper?", a: "Rarely. The myth lives on, but the data doesn't support it. Airlines yield-manage aggressively and seats left 72 hours out often cost more, not less — especially on high-demand routes and in summer. The exception: mistake fares and cancellation pickups, which are real but unpredictable. Budget 15–25% more than you'd expect, and treat any deal as a bonus rather than a baseline." },
  { q: "Can I get a passport in 72 hours?", a: "Yes, with an appointment. The USPS Passport Acceptance Facility network and a handful of private expediting services (CIBT, RushMyPassport, ItsEasy) can turn a passport in 24–72 hours at premium cost. You'll need proof of urgent travel (flight itinerary), fees run $200–$350 all-in, and availability varies by city. Book the flight first — the appointment tier is 'urgent' only with a confirmed booking." },
  { q: "Which booking sites work best for last-minute?", a: "Google Flights for search and price alerts. Hopper for fare prediction and watching a route over time. Scott's Cheap Flights (now Going.com) for mistake fares and error fares delivered by email. Directly with the airline for award and standby inventory. For hotels, Booking.com's app shows last-minute availability most reliably; HotelTonight covers same-night bookings specifically." },
  { q: "What about travel insurance on a last-minute booking?", a: "Buy it immediately — 'cancel for any reason' coverage must be purchased within 14–21 days of your first booking. Most last-minute travelers skip it and then are exposed if anything changes. The coverage you want for a 72-hour trip: trip cancellation + medical evacuation. Skip the 'baggage delay' riders — they're noise." },
  { q: "What is the cheapest week of the year to book last-minute?", a: "The week of Thanksgiving (Tuesday before through Wednesday after) and the last two weeks of January. Both represent historically predictable drops in domestic and transatlantic fares as demand falls off a cliff after the holiday. Summer has no equivalent window — last-minute summer travel to Europe is expensive almost without exception." },
  { q: "What if my flight gets cancelled — am I stuck?", a: "Know your rights: if the airline cancels or significantly delays your flight, you are entitled to a full refund (not a voucher) under current DOT rules. Get on the phone with the airline while you're also in the rebooking line at the gate — whoever gets through first, wins. Have the number saved. A companion card that covers trip delays is worth its annual fee in exactly this scenario." },

// Practical tips — the 72-hour pre-trip checklist
const LAST_PRACTICAL = [
  { k: "Booking tip", h: "Book the flight first. Decide where later.", b: "The most common last-minute mistake is spending 90 minutes deciding between destinations, then missing the fare. Pick a direction, book the seat, worry about the hotel in the Uber to the airport. Inventory is tight — the window is usually under 6 hours once a fare drops." },
  { k: "Passport tip", h: "Check it before you search.", b: "Many countries require 6 months validity beyond your travel dates. If your passport expires in under 6 months, you may not board. Check this before you book — not after. Emergency renewal takes 24–72 hrs and costs $200–$350 all-in; plan accordingly." },
  { k: "Packing tip", h: "One carry-on. Non-negotiable.", b: "Last-minute trips and checked bags are incompatible. Pack for 5 days in a personal item if possible, 7 days in a carry-on maximum. Checked baggage adds cost, adds time, and gives you one more thing to lose. The packing list is on the page — it fits in 45 minutes." },
  { k: "Money tip", h: "Notify your bank. Right now.", b: "A blocked card in Mexico City at 11pm on a Saturday is a 72-hour trip ruined. Call or use the app to add a travel notice before you leave. Do it for every card you're bringing. Takes 3 minutes." },
  { k: "Phone tip", h: "eSIM before you land.", b: "Airalo and Saily sell regional eSIMs you install before departure. For a 5-day trip, a $12 eSIM is cheaper and more reliable than paying your carrier's international day rate. Install it on the plane — it activates when you land." },
  { k: "Hotel tip", h: "Book the first two nights only.", b: "Last-minute trip flexibility is the asset. Book two nights, confirm you like the neighborhood, then extend or move. Hotel Tonight and Booking.com both show real-time availability. Locking in a week upfront defeats the point." },
  { k: "Insurance tip", h: "Credit card coverage first, then decide.", b: "Most travel credit cards include trip cancellation, delay, and medical coverage at no additional cost. Check your card's coverage before buying a separate policy. For trips under 5 days with no major pre-payments, your card coverage is usually sufficient." },
