Fails that kill trip-cost-guide-export-2026-09-11-s0

• Paying Booking annual with no export button
• Accepting a screenshot as the Skyscanner archive
• Skipping travel booking because Expedia emailed a CSV later
• Closing before the file opens on a second device

Go / no-go 2026-09-11

Annual only if export is self-serve and the archive opens without a retained travel booking login for “travel booking”. Otherwise trip-cost-guide stays monthly until travel booking is in the file.

Download a real archive, not a screenshot

Booking fails without a downloadable archive. Skyscanner fails if travel booking needs the old login. Expedia is the control: if its export opened offline, do not excuse the others.
