Advertising disclosure

Advertising Policy

Keeping our database updated requires resources. AirportCosts may use display advertising and affiliate partnerships to fund our research, but never at the expense of honesty.

How Advertising May Appear

AirportCosts may use display adverts, sponsored placements or affiliate links to help fund data checks, hosting, design work and future calculator improvements. Adverts may appear beside or between content, but they should be visually separate from airport facts, calculator results, source links and editorial route guidance.

Editorial Results Are Not Sold

Transport operators, transfer providers, coach companies or rail services cannot buy a better position in the calculator. Calculator guidance should follow the available journey facts: passenger count, luggage, timing, airport rules, route friction and cost ranges. Paid relationships do not make an expensive or impractical journey become the recommended option.

Affiliate Links

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. If a user clicks one and makes a purchase, AirportCosts may earn a commission at no additional cost to the user. Affiliate income should not change whether a cheaper public option, free drop-off alternative or official airport source is shown.

Sponsored Content And Labels

If sponsored content is ever published, it should be labelled in plain language. A sponsored placement should not be formatted as an independent source, official airport notice or calculator result. Users should be able to tell when content is editorial and when a commercial partner paid for visibility.

Google AdSense

If Google AdSense is enabled, ads may be served by Google and its advertising partners subject to consent requirements and Google policies. Personalised advertising may depend on user consent, location, browser settings and Google account controls. Users should refer to the cookie policy and privacy policy for more detail.

Advertiser Restrictions

We should not accept advertising that misleads users about prices, hides compulsory fees, imitates official airport notices, promotes unsafe travel behaviour or conflicts with the purpose of the site. Airport travel can involve penalties and missed flights, so advertising must not make risky shortcuts look harmless.

Reporting An Ad Issue

If an advert appears misleading, broken, offensive or too close to editorial guidance, contact info@airportcosts.com with the page URL, screenshot if available, approximate time and country. That information helps identify the ad placement or network responsible for the issue.
