Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 2026
Beyond Baggage is a reader-supported travel website. To keep this site running and our content free, we participate in affiliate programs with travel booking platforms, gear retailers, insurance providers, and other travel-related services.
What This Means for You
When you click certain links on our site and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider. These commissions help us cover hosting costs, pay writers, and continue producing honest travel content.
What We’re Affiliated With
Our affiliate partnerships include, but are not limited to:
- Hotel and accommodation booking platforms (Booking.com, Hostelworld, etc.)
- Flight comparison and booking services
- Travel insurance providers
- Travel gear and luggage retailers (Amazon Associates, etc.)
- eSIM and connectivity providers
- Tour and experience booking platforms (GetYourGuide, Viator, etc.)
Our Promise
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. We recommend destinations, products, and services based on genuine experience and research — never because of commission rates. Many articles on this site contain no affiliate links at all. When they do, we believe the linked product or service genuinely helps travelers.
We only partner with companies whose products or services we would recommend regardless of any financial relationship. If a product isn’t worth your money, we’ll say so — even if we could earn a commission by recommending it.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to full transparency about our affiliate relationships.
If you have questions about our affiliate partnerships, please contact us.
