No mystery, no small print you need a magnifying glass for. Here's exactly how The Flight Lounge earns — and the line we won't cross.
The Flight Lounge is free to browse. When you tap a fare or a hotel and go on to book, we sometimes earn a small commission from the airline, comparison site or booking partner — paid by them, never added to your price. You pay exactly what you'd pay going direct.
Flights are searched through Aviasales and its partner airlines and agents via the Travelpayouts network. Hotels are searched through Booking.com and other accommodation partners. We may add other travel partners (car hire, eSIMs, airport transfers, insurance) over time — all held to the same rule above.
We're a deal-finding club, not a travel agent. We don't sell flights, hold your payment, or take a cut of your booking at your expense. You always book and pay the airline or booking site directly, so there's no markup and no ATOL obligation on our side — the protection you get is whatever your chosen airline or agent provides.
Because UK rules (the ASA's CAP Code and CMA guidance on hidden advertising) say clearly-labelled is the only honest way to run affiliate links — and because "with the receipts" is the whole brand. You should always know when a link can earn us something. Now you do.
