Indonesia e-VoA purposes, NZeTA trial and easyJet cabin bag fares
Was: Our entry dataset said Indonesia’s electronic visa on arrival covered tourism, business meetings or medical treatment and could be extended once for 30 days, and described New Zealand’s NZeTA arrangement for Chinese citizens from Australia only as a 12-month trial. Our cabin-bag data said easyJet’s large cabin bag came with Plus and Inclusive fares.
Now: Indonesia’s official e-Visa site lists tourism, government visits, business meetings, goods purchasing and transit, and says longer stays need a stay-permit extension at an Immigration Office. Immigration New Zealand said in October 2026 that eligible Chinese and Pacific visitors can keep using an NZeTA after the trial, until further notice. easyJet includes the large cabin bag for easyJet Plus members and Inclusive Plus fares. The comparison guides that quote these records changed with them.

Gellért Bath closure and Vienna airport rail works
Was: Our Budapest baths verdict, 3-day itinerary and destination page recommended the Gellért Bath as an open alternative to Széchenyi. Our Vienna airport guide described the City Airport Train and S-Bahn to Wien Mitte as running normally.
Now: The Gellért Bath has been closed for renovation since 1 October 2025, with reopening planned for 2028, according to its official site; the pages now point to Széchenyi and Rudas. From 7 September 2026 to the end of October 2027 the central S-Bahn line in Vienna is closed, so the City Airport Train runs as a coach to Wien Mitte and the S7 ends at St. Marx; the Vienna airport guide now says so.

ETIAS, EES, ESTA, Australia ETA, Kenya eTA and Bandung airport facts
Was: Our entry guides gave the ETIAS fee as a low single-digit or EUR 7 amount and implied it was running or due in late 2026, described EES as still rolling out, gave the ESTA fee as $40.27, described the Australia ETA as valid for several years and named only East African Community citizens as exempt from Kenya’s eTA. Our Bandung page said many carriers now use Kertajati (KJT) instead of the in-town airport.
Now: ETIAS will cost EUR 20 but has not started and has no announced start date. EES has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. ESTA costs $40.62 from 16 October 2026. The Australia ETA lasts 12 months or until the passport expires, whichever is shorter. Kenya also exempts nationals of many African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. Bandung’s Husein Sastranegara (BDO) reopened to domestic jets on 14 August 2026, and most international visitors arrive via Jakarta. The ETIAS for Americans, ESTA, Australia ETA, Kenya eTA, EU Entry/Exit System and Bandung pages were corrected too.

Thailand visa exemption cut to 30 days
Was: Our Thailand visa-exemption guide said many nationalities, including UK, US, EU and Australian passport holders, get up to 60 days on arrival.
Now: From 15 September 2026 the exemption is 30 days, for tourism only, for 60 countries and territories, with a limit of two visa-exempt land-border entries a year. The guide was rewritten and the old address redirects to it.

Was: Single-airport pages described Centurion Lounges at 11 airports where none is open (Boston is only announced, for 2029; ORD, IAD, MCO, SAN, MSP, PDX, HNL, AUS, BNA and RDU have none).
Now: Those pages were withdrawn; this comparison lists only the 15 locations American Express shows as open, each linked to its Amex page.
How a report is assessed
- We locate the exact statement and preserve enough context to understand the claim.
- Time-sensitive facts are checked against the relevant airline, airport, regulator, law or government source.
- Commercial claims are checked without allowing an affiliate partner to dictate the editorial conclusion.
- If the statement is materially wrong, the page is corrected and its review date is updated.
- A material correction receives a visible correction note; minor spelling and formatting changes do not.
What counts as material?
A correction is material when the error could change a traveller’s decision, legal rights, eligibility, cost, safety planning, route, baggage choice, insurance purchase or understanding of a comparison. A material correction should explain what changed and when without silently rewriting the record.
Fast-changing information
Fares, schedules, visa rules, airline policies, compensation rules and insurance terms can change after publication. The provider or regulator remains authoritative at the point of travel or purchase. A normal update to reflect a later rule is not necessarily a correction, but its review date should still change.
