React Node Travel Booking Platform

I’m building a full-stack travel website where visitors can search for and book complete trips in one place. The front end will be React (feel free to suggest Next.js if it helps with SSR), the back end Node/Express.

Users must be able to:

• search real-time flights, hotels, and tours/activities pulled from established travel-booking APIs
• see up-to-date pricing that I can override or fine-tune through an admin dashboard, with a simple price-history log
• complete a single checkout flow and view their bookings later in their account

I will supply API keys, wireframes, and hosting access. Your job is to wire the external travel services to a clean REST (or GraphQL) layer, build the React interface, and leave clear documentation so I can maintain prices manually when needed.

Deliverables
1. Responsive React front end connected to the Node API
2. Node.js service layer integrating third-party travel APIs + manual price controls
3. Admin dashboard for price updates and history tracking
4. Secure booking/checkout module with basic user authentication
5. Setup scripts, README, and deployment instructions (AWS preferred)

Clean code, clear commits, and a short hand-off call will complete the project.
