How we keep the data fresh

Baggage rules drift each year. Here is the process that catches the drift.

Airline websites are notoriously hard to compare. Rules live behind cabin selectors, region filters and fare-family tabs; the same figure appears in different units on different pages. Our job is to read those pages carefully, translate them into a single grid, and republish when they change.

Monthly check

Every airline page ships with a "Checked against official sources on" date. Behind that stamp is a monthly review cycle: a script pings each airline's baggage page for structural changes, a human reads the diff, and we update the JSON the site is built from. Big carriers get a heavier look; low-cost carriers move faster and get a spot check every two weeks.

Reader corrections

Readers spot changes we miss. Every airline page links to a corrections form and the fix, if verified, goes live within a week. Nothing is anonymous behind the scenes. Corrections come with a source URL, and we credit the reader if they want the credit.

What we do not do

We do not book flights, hold your bags, or negotiate on your behalf. We do not run affiliate tracking behind cookie walls. We do not personalise the fees you see. The rate you read is the rate we published, based on the airline's own tariff, at the timestamp on the page.
