Editorial Policy
How we research, write, fact-check, and update every guide on Pilotpedia.
Research from primary sources
We start with official airline policies, airport authorities, and aviation regulators — not other blogs.
Fact-check before publishing
Fare rules, program terms, and technical details are checked against current official sources before an article goes live.
Separate opinion from fact
Reviews and recommendations are clearly framed as our assessment, distinct from verifiable facts like fees or policies.
Revisit and update
Airline and loyalty program rules change often. We periodically review older guides and update them as things shift.
Why this matters
Airline policies, credit card terms, and airport procedures change constantly, and getting them wrong can cost readers real money or real time at the airport. This policy exists so you know exactly how the information on Pilotpedia comes together, and can trust it accordingly.
How we handle reviews and recommendations
Our airline reviews and product recommendations combine hands-on experience where available, verified passenger reports, and official airline documentation. We clearly note when a review is based on a specific cabin, route, or aircraft type, since experiences can vary. Affiliate relationships never determine our conclusions — see our Affiliate Disclosure for more on how those partnerships work.
Corrections
We take accuracy seriously. If you spot outdated information, a broken link, or a factual error in any article, please let us know through our Contact page. We review every report and correct confirmed errors as quickly as possible.
Updates to this policy
As Pilotpedia grows, this policy may be refined to reflect how our editorial process evolves. Any significant changes will be reflected on this page.
