Per trip: Amadeus's cheapest itinerary vs NDCtrip
One row per trip, anchored on the itinerary Amadeus was cheapest on — what a price-driven agent would have booked. Shows what NDC quoted for those same flights. Every trip appears, including the ones NDC won: they are what the rest are measured against
