What this page covers

This page describes how The Frequent Flier makes money, and how those commercial arrangements are kept separate from editorial decisions.

The Frequent Flier is supported by display advertising served through Google AdSense. The data Google collects when its ads load is described in our privacy policy. Ads are labeled "Advertisements" wherever they appear, and are selected and served by Google's ad network based on page context and Google's own signals — not by The Frequent Flier choosing what appears in the slot.

The Frequent Flier does not use affiliate links and earns no affiliate commissions. We do not participate in any affiliate programs, and have no plans to. Nothing on the site is a paid product recommendation, and no link on the site pays us a commission when you click it or buy something.

How advertising stays separate from coverage

Display ads are served programmatically by Google. We do not sell or hand-place individual ads, and advertisers have no say in what we cover or how we assess it. Editorial judgments are made independently of advertising, and our editorial policy explains how that line is held.

Ads are labeled "Advertisements" so you can always tell a paid placement from editorial content. AdSense placements are governed by Google's labeling rules and our privacy policy.

Ads and your privacy

Google AdSense sets its own cookies and may collect data when its script loads. What it collects — and your choices around it, including the consent prompt shown to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland — is described in our privacy policy. When you follow any external link and leave our site, the destination's own privacy policy controls what it collects.

Questions

If you want to know how a piece of coverage came together, or how we keep advertising separate from editorial, ask — we'd rather answer.
