Our Data Philosophy
Transparency, quality, and continuous improvement at the core of everything we do
How We Collect Data
Our baggage allowance data is compiled through a human-led research process. Our team of travel analysts systematically reviews publicly available airline information using various research tools and methodologies.
We focus on official airline sources including carrier websites, policy documentation, and publicly accessible materials. Each data point is manually reviewed and validated by our research team to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Note: Our research process is designed to gather publicly available information in a responsible manner that respects airline policies and website terms of service.
How We Refresh Data
Airline policies change frequently, and staying current is essential. Our refresh strategy balances data freshness with research quality:
Monthly Baseline
We conduct systematic reviews of all airlines on a monthly basis to catch policy updates and maintain data currency.
Priority Updates
When airlines announce policy changes or users report discrepancies, we prioritize those carriers for immediate review.
Each airline record includes a "last refreshed" timestamp so you can see when the data was last verified. We track refresh dates at the airline level to maintain transparency.
Quality Assurance Process
We employ multiple layers of quality checks to ensure data accuracy:
Manual Verification
Human analysts review each data point during collection
Source Attribution
Every allowance links to its source for traceability
Cross-Validation
Multiple sources are consulted when available
Consistency Checks
Automated validation ensures data follows expected patterns
User Feedback Loop
User reports help us identify and correct discrepancies
Our Commitment to Data Quality
We are committed to providing the most accurate and up-to-date baggage allowance information possible. This commitment drives our ongoing investment in research processes, quality controls, and continuous improvement.
However, we recognize that airline policies are complex, subject to frequent changes, and can vary based on numerous factors including booking class, route, loyalty status, and special circumstances. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every data point is current or complete at all times.
⚠️ Important Reminder
Our data is provided for informational and planning purposes. Always verify baggage allowances directly with your airline before traveling, as policies can change without notice and individual circumstances may affect your specific allowances.
Continuous Improvement
We're constantly evolving our data collection and validation processes. User feedback, industry developments, and technological advancements all inform how we enhance our service.
