Known gotchas
LCC content on Duffel is sourced via New Distribution Capability connections; availability and ancillary offerings differ from GDS content for the same carrier
Duffel balance payments require pre-funded account credit; real card payments must use Duffel Payments with a separate payment intent flow
Some LCCs impose a name-change freeze immediately after booking; the 15-minute window to correct names via order changes must be handled in the booking UX
