Editorial Principles

We explain the rules behind travel so you know what you’re entitled to and what to prepare before you leave. These are the principles we work by.

  1. Accuracy first. We check facts, figures and rules against official and primary sources before publishing. We check our guides against the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the State Department, the Justice Department’s ADA guidance and the CDC.
  2. Honesty about method. We use AI tools to help research and draft articles, and every draft is checked and edited before publication. Our guides are based on research, not hands-on testing, unless an article says otherwise.
  3. Independence. No company pays for coverage or influences what we write. Some links earn us a commission through the Travelpayouts affiliate network, but commissions don’t decide what we cover or recommend. Our disclosure explains how the site is funded.
  4. Clarity. We explain things in plain language and avoid jargon where we can.
  5. Staying current. We update guides when the rules change, and we point readers to official sources for details that change often.
  6. Prompt corrections. Report errors to support [at] travelhotelsinfo [dot] com. We review every report and fix confirmed mistakes quickly.
