Editorial policy

How the data on this site is collected, checked, and corrected.

Where the data comes from

Only primary sources: the airline's own baggage page, a regulator such as the FAA or EASA, or an industry body such as IATA. Every figure is stored with the URL it came from, a verbatim excerpt from that page, and the date it was collected. If a number cannot be pointed to in the excerpt, it does not go on the site. Sources

Collection and verification are separate steps

Collecting a figure and confirming it are different things. A record starts as collected; it is marked verified only after a person reopens the source, confirms the excerpt still matches the page, and checks that the wording supports the figure. Until then the page shows a review notice, and unverified records are not used for a definitive compliance result.

When an airline publishes nothing

If an airline does not publish a limit, the page says Not published. We do not infer a value from another airline, from an older version of the page, or from a similar fare tier. Where two sources conflict, both are shown and we decline to merge them into a single answer.

Units

Figures are shown in centimetres and kilograms, converted from the airline's published units where necessary. The original wording and units are kept in the quoted excerpt, so every conversion can be checked against the airline's own text.

Use of automation

Automation is used to structure text that a person has already taken from an official page. It is not used to invent figures or to decide a compliance result. A person selects the source, checks the excerpt, and approves the record before it appears.

Money and independence

Airlines do not pay to have a rule included, excluded or ranked. Some outbound links point to a manufacturer's or retailer's own product page; we do not currently earn a commission on them. If that changes, the affected links will be marked and disclosed on the page itself, not only in the footer.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong, email the page URL, the airline's official source, and the correct figure. We check it against the source and update the record, including the check date. Numbers are not edited quietly — a correction changes the date shown on the page. Contact
