Limitations (from the README)

- No official API: uses an undocumented Google endpoint that could change at any time. Structural validation makes breakages obvious. - Rate limiting: Google may throttle heavy use. Built-in retry and circuit breaker handle transient issues. - Prices are estimates: prices reflect query time; they can change before booking. - Currency: determined by Google based on IP/locale.
