Data Sources & Verification

TravelHub publishes source-backed operational travel data. This page explains how values are sourced, verified, and maintained. If you need to audit a record, source URLs and verification context are provided on relevant pages.

Baggage dimension sourcing

Length, width, depth, weight, and fee references are taken from official airline policy pages. We do not rely on secondary aggregation as a primary source. Each record is checked manually and stamped with Last_Verified_Date.

Monitoring and review

Automated monitoring tracks selected high-change carriers and flags potential updates. Alerts trigger manual review; they do not publish changes directly. Ryanair is monitored manually on a rolling basis, while other carriers follow scheduled verification cycles.

Strictness and report data

Strictness context combines policy severity with reviewed traveller outcomes. Reports are screened for plausibility before inclusion. Seeded records are marked and weighted conservatively relative to newer approved submissions.

Transit and calculator inputs

Route and transfer details are verified from operator channels where available. Calculator assumptions use current operator pricing context and are refreshed on review cycles or when material price shifts are detected.

Data completeness controls

Every record receives a Data_Completeness_Score reflecting required field coverage and verification confidence. Pages below threshold remain noindex to prevent incomplete records from appearing as authoritative search results.

Independent verification

You can independently verify key records by following source links shown on page footers. If a mismatch is found, use the data dispute process with evidence for formal review.
