Ground Connectivity (V21)
Category 8 — how well the destination airport connects to where you're actually staying.
Disabled 2026-08-04 (V21_DISABLED)
Explicit product decision, disabled alongside V20. Unlike most disables this session, the underlying airport-tier heuristic is real curated data, not fixture-only — it was already effectively absent from the live product by default before this disable, so this makes that explicit rather than leaving it as a silent opt-in-to-nothing. The category falls back to a neutral 50 either way.
Measures — hotel availability and proximity at the destination airport (loyalty-program-aware in a later phase). Currently disabled, always drops.
Data & accuracy — would read hotelProximityScore from enrichment (scoreALTHotel). Phase 1 is a heuristic tier score; Phase 2 would use a live hotel API with loyalty matching. Renumbered from the old ALT-Hotel in TEO21 Draft 1. Logic is intact for re-enabling.
Gotchas — disabled; always drops regardless of opt-in or proximity data. Verified live before disabling: it was already absent from every real search checked.
Measures — (retired) ground-transit time from the airport to the city center.
Data & accuracy — removed in TEO21 Draft 1. scoreALT() is retained for reference but does not contribute to any category score.
Gotchas — no longer scored — listed here so older references resolve.
