Editorial Policy

Our readers make real decisions — and spend real money — based on what we publish. These standards explain how we earn and keep that trust.

Accuracy first

• We rely on primary sources: airline websites and tariffs, airport authorities, the Canadian Transportation Agency, travel.gc.ca, CATSA and other official bodies.
• We verify deals before alerting subscribers: dates must be bookable, prices must include taxes, and bag and seat rules are noted.
• Changeable details — fees, baggage sizes, entry rules, passenger-rights amounts — are dated and hedged, and we tell readers to confirm before they travel.
• Deal thresholds are reviewed regularly against fare patterns and adjusted when markets change.

How we write

Our guides are written for Canadian travellers in plain language, with Canadian spelling and prices in Canadian dollars. We use research and writing tools, including AI-assisted drafting, to help us work efficiently; every page is checked against sources and edited by the CheapFly Travel Desk before publication. We never publish fabricated statistics, quotes, testimonials or reviews.

Independence

Advertisers, sponsors and partners never pay for favourable coverage, never change a deal threshold and never see editorial content before publication unless it is a clearly labelled sponsored piece. Ads served by Google AdSense are chosen by Google’s systems, not by our editors.

Labelling

• Advertisement — display ads.
• Sponsored / Presented by — paid placements and co-created content.
• Affiliate links — disclosed in our disclaimer.

Updates and corrections

We review high-traffic guides at least every six months and whenever rules change. Each guide shows its last-updated date. If you spot an error, please tell us. We correct factual errors promptly and note significant corrections on the page.

Reader submissions

Deal tips, videos and contest entries from readers are verified before publication, credited with permission, and published only if they meet these standards.
