Affiliate disclosure
How About.Travel makes money, which links earn a commission, and what that does and does not influence.
About.Travel earns money from affiliate commissions. If you click certain links and buy something, the seller pays us a percentage. You pay the same price either way: the commission comes out of the seller’s margin, not out of your pocket.
Which links earn a commission
Chiefly eSIM and data plans, hotel bookings, flight searches, and tours and tickets. Every outbound commercial link on this site goes through a /go/ redirect and is tagged so browsers and search engines can see it is sponsored. Pages that carry commercial links show a disclosure near those links, not only in the footer, so the notice appears where the decision is made.
What the commission does not buy
It does not buy a ranking, a recommendation, or a place in a comparison. We are not paid to include a provider, and no provider sees a page before it is published. Where we think an option is not worth it, the page says so, including when there is a commission attached to it.
How we choose what to recommend
For eSIM plans, the comparisons rank on cost per gigabyte, which local networks a plan actually connects to, and whether hotspot use is allowed - the three things that decide whether a plan works. Where a figure comes from a provider’s own catalogue rather than from our checking, the page labels it as indicative and tells you to confirm before buying.
Programmes we participate in
We work with travel affiliate programmes including eSIM providers, hotel booking platforms, flight search partners and activity marketplaces. The partner is named on the button you click, so you always know where a link leads before you follow it.
Questions
If anything about how this site makes money is unclear, ask: [email protected]. If you would rather we earned nothing from your visit, search for the provider directly instead of using our link. The guides are the same either way.
