Our Editorial Approach
One of our important duties is to provide useful travel information.
The website receives some commercial support but doesn't reflect the subjects we cover or the information we publish.
Our articles contain contents made with the use of:
- Industry research
- Information that is available to the public for travel.
- Travel trends
- Information about the provider
- Information related to the consumer
This is because there is a constant changing of information; hence, the user needs to crosscheck important information with the concerned provider before taking a decision.
Third party websites and services usage
There are links in FlightPicker that can lead visitors to sites of external organizations.
If a visitor goes off our site, the policies and practices of the site an individual visited become applicable.
We will not be responsible if:
- Third-party pricing
- Service availability
- Website content
- Booking conditions
- Security practices
- Privacy policies
- Promotional claims
Users need to check the conditions and politics of the external service if they wish to carry out transactions.
Travel Information and Availability
Things change in the travel industry quickly. Flights are revised at the airline's discretion, rates may vary, specials may be offered and fly schedules can change at any point without prior notice.
While we do our best to give the right and relevant information, FlightPicker can't offer guarantee.
- Current airfare availability
- Accuracy of fares
- Discounted fares
- Routes
- Hotels available
- Packages offered
- Accuracy of third-party information.
It is critical that travelers check the validity of the service providers before planning their travels.
The love of commitment to fair disclosure
We feel transparency adds to trust.
We try to disclose as much as possible where there may be a possibility that commercial interests affect a visitor's understanding of our content.
Identifying may be through disclosure practices such as:
- Sponsored content

- Commercial relationships
We wish to assist our visitors in understanding and context of information presented.
