Quick answer: Atravel.uk is free to use because partners pay us a commission on bookings made through our links. The commission never changes the price you pay, and it never decides the order of our results.

How we are paid
When you click through to an airline, hotel, rental company or tour operator and complete a booking, that company pays us a percentage of the sale. It is the same model used by nearly every comparison site, and it is the reason we can keep the site free.
You pay the partner’s price, exactly as you would if you had typed their address yourself. The commission comes out of their margin, not out of your pocket.
What it does not buy
- Not position: results follow your filters, not our commission rates
- Not silence: we do not accept payment to hide a competitor
- Not coverage: we write what we think, including when a partner disappoints
- Not your data: we never sell personal information to anyone
Why we say so plainly
UK consumer law and the Advertising Standards Authority require paid links to be identifiable, so outbound partner links are marked as sponsored where the platform supports it. This page exists so you never have to wonder how the site is funded.
If a partner mishandles your booking, tell us at support@atravel.uk. We cannot fix an individual reservation, but repeated problems decide whether a brand stays on the site.
