Affiliate Disclosure

Plain English · FTC-aligned · placement rules published

The relationship in one sentence

We may earn a commission when you search or book on Kayak through our links.

That is the whole arrangement: halfway.travel is a participant in Kayak's affiliate program, some pages link to Kayak searches, and qualifying activity from those links can earn us a commission.

What that means

Commission is earned per qualifying click or booking as defined by Kayak's program terms. The links look like ordinary kayak.com addresses with an aid parameter on the end — that parameter is the tag that identifies the traffic as ours. It is visible in the link, adds nothing about you, and hides nothing about where you are going: you always see kayak.com in your browser.

Placement policy

Links are capped by template — at most two placements on a rules page, none at all on support pages like this one, and the answer always precedes the offer. Every affiliate link carries rel="sponsored" so search engines and browsers can identify it as commercial. A disclosure sentence sits next to the first link on every page that has one, and the site footer repeats it.

FTC compliance

This disclosure follows the FTC's endorsement guides: a clear statement of the material connection, placed where you will see it before you click, in plain language. We recommend data and tools, not products; no brand pays for placement, and commission never influences which towns, times or rules appear on a page — those come from computation and cited sources only.

The standard snippet

This exact sentence appears beside the first affiliate link on every page:
