Early access data guidance

Private Beta — HopVia is testing smarter route discovery on selected journeys. Prices, times and availability may use deterministic mock or seeded prototype data rather than live provider inventory. Check current prices, schedules, availability and connection details with the relevant travel provider before travelling or booking.

Current beta example: London ↔ Madrid, with direct routes and practical airport/rail ideas. Other searches may have limited or no useful coverage.
