Affiliate disclosure
In short: Package Sidekick earns money from some of the links on this site. If you click one and then book or buy something, we may receive a commission from that company. You pay the same price either way.
What affiliate links are
An affiliate link is a tracked link to another company's website. If you make a qualifying booking or purchase after clicking it, usually within a set period, that company pays us a commission. We work, or plan to work, with partners in these categories:
- Tours and activities, such as GetYourGuide and Viator
- Airport transfers, such as Welcome Pickups and HolidayTaxis
- UK airport parking, lounges and other travel extras, such as Holiday Extras
- eSIMs, such as Airalo
- Car hire, such as DiscoverCars
- Hotel booking sites, such as Booking.com and Expedia
- Travel insurance providers
- Affiliate networks, such as Travelpayouts, Awin and CJ
How we label them
Affiliate links are marketing communications. In line with the UK Advertising Standards Authority's CAP Code and Competition and Markets Authority guidance, we label them clearly where they appear. Recommendation boxes and the "essentials" panels are marked as affiliate links, and every guide that contains them says so near the top. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored".
Adverts, partner listings and our own products
- If we show display adverts in future, they will be clearly separate from our editorial content.
- Any paid partner listing, for example from a local tour operator, will be labelled "Sponsored" or "Ad".
- We may sell our own low-cost printables. These are our products, and we will say so.
- If we ever receive a free trip or product, we will say it was gifted.
Our editorial independence
- We decide what to cover and recommend based on what's useful to readers, not on commission rates.
- No partner reviews or approves our content before it is published.
- We do not invent prices, ratings or reviews. Always check the live price and terms.
- We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any tour operator we mention, such as Jet2holidays, loveholidays or On the Beach.
Insurance
Our insurance content is general information, not advice. We are not an insurer or insurance broker, and we can't tell you whether a policy is right for you. Always read the policy documents before you buy.
