Affiliate Disclosure
How Sunmaj may earn money
Sunmaj is an independent travel resource created to help UK travellers make smarter, better-informed travel decisions.
Running a website like Sunmaj involves costs, including research, content creation, website hosting and maintaining and updating our travel guides.
To help support this work, Sunmaj may earn money through affiliate partnerships and other commercial relationships.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how those relationships work and what they mean for you as a reader.
What are affiliate links?
Some links on Sunmaj may be affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and then make a booking or purchase from the third-party provider, Sunmaj may receive a commission or referral fee.
In most cases, this does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is normally the same whether you reach the provider through an affiliate link on Sunmaj or visit the provider directly.
The commission is paid to Sunmaj by the relevant company or affiliate network.
Where you may find affiliate links
Affiliate links may appear in different types of content across Sunmaj, including:
- Destination guides
- Flight and airline comparisons
- Hotel and accommodation content
- Package holiday comparisons
- Rail and transport guides
- Travel money content
- Travel insurance content
- Luggage and packing guides
- Travel products and services
- Booking tools and other travel resources
Not every link on Sunmaj is an affiliate link.
We may also link to government websites, tourism authorities, airports, airlines, transport operators and other official or useful sources purely to provide additional information or help readers verify important details.
Our editorial independence
Affiliate partnerships do not determine our editorial conclusions.
Our aim is to help readers understand their options and make better travel decisions. We do not intend to recommend a provider, destination or travel product simply because it offers Sunmaj a higher commission.
Where we compare different options, our editorial assessment should be based on the factors relevant to that particular decision, such as:
- Overall value
- Price
- Convenience
- Flexibility
- Accessibility
- Travel time
- Baggage policies
- Features and benefits
- Suitability for different types of traveller
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a company or product will receive a positive recommendation.
Similarly, we may recommend or discuss options from which Sunmaj earns no commission when we believe they are useful or relevant to our readers.
You can learn more about how we create and assess our content in our Editorial Policy.
Prices and availability
Travel prices and availability can change frequently.
The price you see mentioned on Sunmaj may not always be the price available when you visit a third-party website.
Flight fares, accommodation rates, package holiday prices, insurance premiums, exchange rates and other travel costs may change based on factors including dates, demand, availability and individual circumstances.
We therefore encourage you to check the final price, booking conditions and other important details directly with the provider before completing a purchase or booking.
Sunmaj does not control the prices or availability displayed on third-party websites.
Third-party websites
When you click an affiliate link, you may be taken to a website operated by another company.
These third-party websites are independent from Sunmaj and have their own terms, privacy policies, cookie policies and booking conditions.
Any booking, purchase or agreement you make with a third-party provider is between you and that provider.
We recommend reviewing the provider’s terms and conditions carefully before making a booking or purchase.
Sponsored content and commercial partnerships
From time to time, Sunmaj may work with travel brands or other companies through sponsorships, paid collaborations or other commercial arrangements.
Where content has been sponsored or a commercial relationship could reasonably affect how readers understand the content, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly.
Sponsored content and commercial partnerships will not be presented as independent editorial content without appropriate disclosure.
Our commitment to transparency
Affiliate partnerships are one way Sunmaj may generate revenue while keeping our travel guides freely available to readers.
Our approach is simple:
We want commercial relationships to support our work—not dictate our recommendations.
Our priority remains helping UK travellers compare their options, understand the practical details and make more informed travel decisions.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or this disclosure, you can contact us through our Contact page.
This Affiliate Disclosure may be updated from time to time as Sunmaj develops new partnerships or changes how the website generates revenue.
