A card rate without a share

Prepaid hours can lock a rate. They do not make you an owner.

Start with the trip shape: one seat, the whole cabin, a group, or the ground stop.

Then check whether the price stays put, sits as a deposit, or is a fresh quote.

If a figure is missing, the review says so. Do not fill the gap with a slogan.
