How we write airline policy pages

Sources

We summarise conditions of carriage, baggage matrices and disruption rules from the carrier’s own pages. Capture or review dates appear on our page so readers know when we last checked.

Cabin and lounge verdicts published elsewhere on the site must state provenance the same way hotel desk assessments do: named stay or flight, or clearly labelled desk research.

What we will not invent

We do not invent seat comfort scores, “best business class” rankings from memory, or award chart prices we cannot source today. Soft-product claims without a dated flight or a primary cabin page stay off the policy URL.

Credit-card path recommendations that depend on issuer terms stay off these pages while Track X remains blocked.

How these pages age

Fare families and baggage weights move. When a carrier restructures products, we update the review date and rewrite the affected sections rather than leaving a quietly wrong matrix live.

If two fare names collide after a rebrand, we prefer the carrier’s current matrix over our previous wording and note the rename when readers would otherwise mis-buy.

Corrections

If a matrix disagrees with the carrier site, email hello@travelshifu.com with both URLs. We correct against the carrier, not against a secondary blog.
