Advertising

PlanMyFlight is free, has no account and no sign-up, and never takes payment for a journey, a car park or a stay. Every page carries an advert for an independent company. If you book through one we earn a commission, paid by that company. It doesn’t change your price, and it never changes what the rest of the page says.

Every advert is labelled “Ad” before you click it. Every page also carries one partner banner: under the top of the page on a phone, tablet or smaller laptop, or in each side margin, outside the page itself, on a wide screen. Apart from that, a departures result has one advert block, after your leave time, and an airport page has at most one, in its parking section. They are never inside a fact and never dressed up as part of the guide.

Today, in 4 places:

• airport transfers abroad, on a departures result
• airport parking and hotels in an airport page's parking section
• a partner's own banner in the empty margins either side of every page, on a wide screen
• a partner's own banner under the top of every page, on phones, tablets and smaller laptops

Nowhere else. There are no adverts inside the airport facts themselves and no pop-ups.

Holiday Extras, APH. They are independent companies that pay us commission. You book and pay them directly, and any contract or complaint is with them or the company they book for you, not with us. We don’t arrange, check or guarantee their service. The links run through Awin, an affiliate network, which is how the company knows a booking came from us.

This is the part that matters, and it is a rule, not a preference. An advert never changes:

• a price, a time limit or any other fact on an airport page — those come from the airport’s own website or a named official source, and are shown with the date we checked them;
• which option a page presents as the cheapest, or the order anything appears in;
• which airports we cover, or what we say about them.

Where an airport’s own pages disagree with each other, we say so rather than picking the figure that suits anyone.

The only banners are our partners’ own, each marked “Ad”. We don’t run pop-ups. We don’t bid on a partner’s brand name in search. We don’t run voucher or discount-code feeds, cashback, or anything that pays you to click. We have no email list. We don’t take payment for a review, a mention, a link in a guide, or a better position in one — and if that ever changes, it will be written here first.

A partner link goes first to our own address, which sends you straight on and sets no cookies of ours. We count the click — the day, which partner, where it was (a result, an airport page, the side rails or the banner under the top of a page) and which airport, if it was on an airport’s page or result — and nothing about you. The partner and the network may set their own cookies once you have clicked. The detail is on the privacy page.

If an advert looks like part of the guide, or a figure looks like it has been bent to suit a partner, we want to know — that is the one thing this site cannot afford to get wrong. The contact form reaches us directly.
