Editorial Policy

Scope & mission

• Deliver clear, up‑to‑date carry‑on size and weight information for major US and international airlines.
• Explain how to interpret rules in the real world (aircraft variation, sizers, under‑seat space).
• Prioritize clarity and utility over promotion or clickbait.

Accuracy & sourcing standards

• Primary sources: Official airline policy pages and Conditions of Carriage are our authoritative references.
• Secondary sources: Airline help centers/FAQs may be used for clarifications when primary pages are ambiguous.
• Context only: Third‑party blogs, forums, and social media are not used to set limits; they may inform traveler tips.
• Date stamps: Material policy changes are noted with “Last updated” dates on relevant pages.

Editorial independence

• We do not sell inclusion, rankings, or favorable coverage.
• Partners and advertisers do not preview or approve editorial content.
• Any paid relationships or affiliate links, if used in the future, will be clearly labeled.

Advertising & monetization

• Display advertising may appear on pages that meet our quality standards.
• Ads are clearly separated from editorial content and do not influence our guidance.
• We follow platform policies (e.g., AdSense) and avoid ad placements on low‑value or under‑construction pages.

If you see an ad that seems inappropriate, please let us know.

Review, updates, and corrections

• Cadence: We review airline entries on a rolling basis and update promptly when notified of changes.
• Corrections: For factual errors, we correct the page and, when significant, add a note describing what changed and when.
• Feedback: Email customerservice@carryonchecker.net with sources or screenshots to help us verify.

Conflicts of interest

• Contributors must disclose any financial ties to airlines or travel vendors. Disclosures are reviewed before publication.
• When a potential conflict exists, a different reviewer validates the content or we include a disclosure note.

Use of automation/AI

• We may use tools to assist with formatting and consistency checks. All airline guidance is verified by a human editor against primary sources.
• We do not publish automated content without human review.

Voice & style

• Plain language first; avoid jargon where possible.
• Use exact dimensions and units; provide inch/cm where helpful.
• Avoid speculative claims; when something varies in practice, say so and explain the risk.
