Next.js 16.3 Instant Navigations lets you balance reusable content with fresh or personalized data while keeping navigation responsive, like a SPA. I built http://next16-airline.vercel.app to try this in a common multi-step flow. Cache Components mark reusable flight data with 𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎. Partial Prefetching brings it into the browser before you click, including URL-specific content with 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑={𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚎}. Async React keeps search and booking actions responsive with 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝙾𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌, 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗, and 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝙰𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚎. Server Functions write and refresh data with 𝚞𝚙𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚃𝚊𝚐. 𝚅𝚒𝚎𝚠𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 animate
