Hi @bi-zi,

I took the liberty of reformatting your icon request so that it has better legibility.

I would like to ask you to provide further use cases for each of these icons that are completely unrelated to yours, i.e. have nothing to do with booking/accommodation, once you've done this, we'll review each requested icon separately.

Please merge the two lists (i.e. update the issue text) to keep things legible, thanks.
