Editorial policy

How our pages are prepared, which sources we use, how dates work, and how to report a mistake.

Who prepares the pages

CheapFlightsAfrica is an independent site. Pages are drafted with the help of AI tools and published under the site’s name. We don’t attribute pages to people who did not write them, and we don’t use invented author profiles.

Sources

  • Rules that can affect your trip — entry and transit requirements, baggage allowances, passenger-rights compensation — should be backed by the official source: the government or regulator, or the airline’s own conditions. Those sources are listed on the page.
  • Where we have no source for a specific rule, the page should point you to the official source instead of stating the rule as fact.
  • Entry rules depend on your passport, destination, purpose and length of stay. We don’t infer your passport from where you live or browse, and we don’t give visa advice.

Fares

Prices come from an automated weekly feed of fares that Aviasales searches found. Every price is shown with its observation date and basis, and disappears once it is out of date. Prices in the text of older guides may be historical — the fare box on a route page is the reference. How we show fares

Dates on a page

“Published” is when a page first appeared; “content updated” is the last time its text changed. Rebuilding the site does not change either date. “Facts checked” appears only when a check against sources has been recorded for that page.

Commercial links

Partner links are labelled and marked as sponsored. Commissions don’t decide which routes or airlines we describe. Affiliate disclosure

Corrections

Send the page address and what is wrong to hello@cheapflightsafrica.com. When we correct a page, its “content updated” date changes.
