&lt;p&gt;I’d want to test simultaneous bookings across the operator site and the biggest OTA rather than trust a generic “real-time sync” claim. The key is whether every channel draws from the same live capacity and updates instantly enough to stop the final seat being sold twice. I’d also check how manual allocations or reseller holds interact with that shared inventory, because that’s where oversells can still creep in.&lt;/p&gt;
