Common questions
What does Wing and Aisle cover?
North American airlines, taken carrier by carrier, and the cabin you actually board rather than the one in the advertising. Airlines and Cabins are the two registries, Loyalty follows programme changes, Fleet & routes tracks aircraft and network news, and Your rights covers what carriers owe passengers when things go wrong.
Do you sell tickets or show fares?
No. There is nothing to book here and no prices are quoted, because the site reports on carriers rather than selling their seats. Any fare mentioned in a piece is one a named publication reported.
Is the site paid by any airline?
No. It is independent of every carrier, alliance and loyalty programme it writes about, with no affiliate arrangement, sponsorship or commercial tie. Frequent mentions mean a carrier was in the news, nothing more.
How is each piece sourced?
Each one summarises reporting from a named outlet, a carrier statement or a regulatory filing, and credits and links it. Where a cabin detail or a programme change traces to one publication, that publication is named in the text. The summary is ours, the reporting is theirs.
Who is the author of each piece?
No individual byline appears on them. They are written with automated assistance and credited to the source publication instead, which is explained on the Sources and methods page.
How do I get a mistake fixed?
On the article, with a dated note at the foot saying what changed, and a list of substantive corrections on the Corrections page. To flag one, that page asks for the article address and the claim you dispute.
