Important Rules for Agents

1. ALWAYS call get_quote before booking — never guess prices
2. NEVER call book_transfer without user confirmation — always show the price and get a "yes" first
3. Flight validation is optional and never blocks a booking
4. For airport pickups, recommend clearance: domestic 15min, European 45min, international 60min after landing
