Affiliate disclosure

Departly is free to read. To support the work of researching and maintaining our guides, we use affiliate links. This page explains exactly how that works.

What affiliate links are

When a guide suggests a genuinely useful next step — booking a hotel, getting an eSIM, comparing travel insurance, pre-booking an airport transfer, hiring a car or booking a tour — some of those links are affiliate links. If you click through and make a booking, we may earn a small commission. This never costs you anything extra, and often the price is exactly the same as going direct.

How our links work

To keep things tidy and trackable, affiliate links route through our own /go/ redirect pages (for example /go/esim/japan/) before sending you on to the partner. These redirect pages aren't indexed by search engines and simply forward you to the right place.

Our promise

• We only suggest services we believe are genuinely useful for the trip in question.
• Commercial relationships never influence our safety, health or entry-requirement information — that always follows official GOV.UK advice.
• We present affiliate suggestions as helpful next steps, not intrusive banners.
• Recommendations are not paid placements; partners can't buy a spot in our advice.

Partners we may work with

Depending on the destination, our partner categories include hotels and accommodation, flights, eSIMs and data, travel insurance, airport transfers, car hire, and tours and activities. The specific providers may change over time.
