travel booking: 2FA backup codes and lost-phone recovery (2026-09-15)

Compare Travel tests 2FA recovery without the old phone for “travel booking” in travel booking on 2026-09-15 across Booking, Skyscanner, and Expedia. Focus: travel booking. Annual is blocked until backup codes open the account.

How Booking, Skyscanner, and Expedia fail recovery

Booking fails without downloadable codes. Skyscanner fails if travel booking needs the old SIM. Expedia is the control: if its backup file opened, do not excuse SMS-only vendors.

Fails that kill trip-cost-guide-recovery-2026-09-15-s38

• Paying Booking annual with SMS-only 2FA
• Skipping backup codes on Skyscanner
• Leaving travel booking on the old phone for Expedia
• Closing before a second-device login

Annual only if backup codes open travel booking without the old phone for “travel booking”. Otherwise trip-cost-guide stays monthly until travel booking works on a new device.
