I have it on reasonable authority that at least one X.25 era hacker has exploited ye-olde travel provider interfaces to: A) automatically detect and utilize cheap global routes B) brute force discount codes for global hotel chains


Care to elaborate? I am missing context here. Do you mean a Google Flights employee is that hacker? Or is X.25 accessible to anyone with an Internet connection and knowledge of ye olde software running on green phosphorescent screens?


Nothing to do with google flights. Just a fun note about the old CRS platforms generally.
