Who issues the links and who pays
- Travelpayouts — a travel-affiliate network. It issues the links and pays the commission for Airalo, Klook. A click may pass through other tracking networks on the way to the merchant (on 2026-09-06 the Airalo link resolved through Impact tracking before reaching airalo.com). Only explicit merchant links are used; the global click-triggered advertising script has been removed.
- Trip.com — a direct referral programme run by the merchant itself; no network in between.
- Trip.com — a direct referral programme run by the merchant itself; no network in between.
- SafetyWing — a direct referral programme run by the merchant itself; no network in between.
- Wise — a consumer invite link, not a partner programme; no commission relationship is confirmed, so it is treated as a plain referral.
- Not live: iVisa, GetYourGuide. No booking button for these exists anywhere on the site.

"Not verified" means exactly that: no merchant order report has been reconciled against this site's click log. Nothing on this site shows sales figures or earnings.
How outbound links work
- Every partner link goes through
/go/[partner]so clicks are counted here and a page-and-CTA sub-id is attached (Trip.com links:trip_sub1; Travelpayouts short links:sub_id). New guide links also identify the content version and selected plan or option; older links may lack these. Whether the sub-id survives to the merchant's report has not been verified. - Live links open the merchant in a new tab and are tagged
rel="sponsored noopener". - Affiliate placements are labelled "Sponsored · we may earn a commission if you book".
- A partner without a live link is never rendered as a booking button. If you open such a
/go/address directly, you land on this page with a notice; that request is logged as a placeholder click, not as an outbound click. A button that says it opens a merchant always opens that merchant. - Prices, availability and booking happen on the merchant. This site shows no live prices or availability, and it does not pass travel dates or passenger details. Where the button specifies a city or train route, the link opens that city hotel list or route direction. Generic buttons open the provider’s general search. Airport and station hotel options open the Shanghai list: copy the suggested location, select it in the merchant’s search and enter your dates. Exact hotels, districts, dates and train departures still require your selection. The button and nearby instructions describe which starting point it opens.
What commissions never change
- The entry check produces the same answer regardless of affiliate revenue.
- We do not move passport countries between "eligible" and "ineligible" based on partner relationships.
- Pages and lists are ordered by the task a reader has, not by commission.
- We do not accept paid placement, sponsored content, or "list inclusion" fees.
Cookies, tracking, and your choice
Affiliate networks set cookies or click identifiers so a booking can be credited back to us. Attribution windows and cookie details are set by each network; we have not verified them and do not store them.
- If you do not want affiliate cookies, your browser's tracking protection or a standard cookie-blocking extension will block them; the site works fully without them, we just will not earn a commission.
- For what this site itself collects, see the privacy page. Short version: we do not store passport, name, or trip details; the entry check runs in your browser only.
