Corrections Policy

A factual correction, a changed rule, and a formatting edit are not the same thing. This policy explains how we handle each one and what you'll see on the page.

How to report an error

Email [email protected] with:

  • The page URL containing the error.
  • A description of what you believe is incorrect.
  • If possible, a link to the official source that contradicts our statement.

You can also use our contact page.

How changes are classified

  • Material factual error:if published information was wrong in a way that could affect a traveler's decision, the page is corrected, its updated date changes, and a dated correction note explains the error and the corrected information.
  • Changed external rule: if the article was accurate when published but a government, carrier, or platform later changes the rule, the page and its updated date change. This is described as an update, not as an error in the earlier reporting.
  • Minor edit: spelling, grammar, formatting, and broken-link fixes may be made without a correction note when they do not change the meaning.

How a report is assessed

We compare a report with the source cited on the page and, for time-sensitive claims, the latest version from the responsible organization. If the evidence is incomplete or conflicting, we may add qualifications rather than switching to a different claim.

Differences in itinerary preference or general travel opinion are not factual corrections. A reply to a report is not guaranteed.
