About TravelHub
TravelHub is an independently operated travel data website providing verified airline baggage rules, transit route context, and practical calculators. It is operated by Travensy Holidays LLP and built around one principle: publish specific, current, source-backed guidance instead of generic advice. Every critical figure has a source reference and a verification lifecycle.
Why TravelHub exists
Airline baggage policy pages are often difficult to interpret in real trip context. Limits differ by ticket type, enforcement differs by airport, and policy changes can appear without clear announcements. Travellers commonly make decisions using stale or incomplete information and face avoidable gate fees. TravelHub was built to reduce that failure mode by centralizing verified data with clear structure and dates.
The cost impact is substantial. Gate penalties can exceed the price of pre-booked baggage upgrades several times over. A small mismatch in bag dimensions or fare assumptions can turn a low fare into a high total journey cost.
What we publish
Core coverage includes carry-on dimensions, weight limits, fee context, and strictness indicators for major carriers serving UK and Irish corridors. We also publish route pages combining airline baggage context with practical transfer information and calculators for common travel economics decisions.
Airport and station pages extend coverage into arrival operations including SIM pickup context, WiFi expectations, storage availability, and charging compatibility. These pages are designed to reduce post-arrival friction where official sources are fragmented.
Editorial independence
TravelHub does not accept payment from airlines, airports, or operators to influence rankings or records. Affiliate commissions may be earned from outbound links, but these relationships do not change data values, strictness scoring, or inclusion criteria.
If you think a value is wrong, use the data dispute process. Corrections are based on evidence, not commercial priority.
Verification and freshness
Dimension records are verified against official policy pages and tracked with Last_Verified_Date. Strictness signals are derived from reviewed traveller submissions and updated on regular recalculation cycles. Pages below completeness thresholds are kept out of index visibility until quality is sufficient for reliable trip planning.
What makes TravelHub different from other baggage sites
Most airline baggage information online either reproduces policy text directly or provides generic advice that does not account for enforcement reality. TravelHub takes a different approach: we separate what airlines publish from what actually happens at the gate. The strictness score is the most visible expression of this — it is built from approved traveller report outcomes rather than policy wording, so it reflects real enforcement frequency rather than theoretical limits.
Data freshness is a second differentiator. Every dimension record carries a Last_Verified_Date tied to a direct policy page check. When airlines update their policies — which happens without clear public announcements more often than travellers expect — our records are updated and the verification date changes. This makes it possible to assess how current the data is rather than relying on an undated page that may be months old.
A third difference is structural specificity. Baggage allowances on TravelHub are published by ticket type rather than by airline alone. A Ryanair basic fare passenger has a different allowance from a Ryanair priority passenger, and conflating the two produces guidance that is wrong for most real bookings. Our per-fare-type structure forces that distinction into every lookup.
For methodology details, see our strictness score methodology, data sources, and dispute process pages.
Together, these principles are intended to keep decisions practical: show the exact allowance by fare, show likely enforcement pressure, and show when data was last verified. That combination is what turns policy text into useful trip planning guidance.
We also prioritise comparability across pages so travellers can evaluate multiple airlines, routes, and airports using the same field structure. Consistent structure improves decision speed and reduces interpretation errors during booking.
This emphasis on consistency is why related pages link to one another and reuse the same core definitions for dimensions, fees, and enforcement.
