Disclaimer
The short version
Airline Crew Discount is an independent publisher. We try hard to be accurate, but airline policies, hotel rates, and crew benefits change daily — sometimes before we can update an article. Use the information on this site as a starting point, verify the specifics with the airline or merchant before you book, and never rely on us for medical, legal, financial, or immigration advice. We earn affiliate commission on some links — see our affiliate disclosure. Some content is AI-assisted under human review — see our editorial policy.
1. Editorial accuracy and currency
Captain AL and the editorial desk publish in good faith and follow the standards set out in our editorial policy (sourcing, fact-checking, corrections process). Even so, three categories of information on this site are inherently time-sensitive and may be inaccurate by the time you read them:
- Crew rates and ID90/ZED fares — change when an airline updates its staff travel policy, sometimes without public notice.
- Hotel partner rates and discount codes — withdrawn, capped, or repriced without warning.
- Retiree benefits, age caps, and eligibility thresholds — vary by carrier, country, and individual employment contract.
Always confirm the specifics with the airline, hotel group, or insurer directly before you make a booking decision. If you find an error, please tell us — our public corrections process commits to a fix or an explanation within seven working days.
2. AI-assisted content
Some articles on this site are produced with help from AI tools — Claude MAX, Perplexity Pro, Gemini Pro, Writesonic, NeuronWriter, Grammarly Premium, and Canva Pro — used for research, draft scaffolding, SEO optimisation, grammar review, and visuals. Every AI-assisted article is reviewed and approved by Captain AL before publication. We do not use AI to fabricate personal experience, generate fake reviews, replace Captain AL’s judgement, or pass AI-generated images off as crew photography.
The full statement of how we use (and do not use) AI is published in our editorial policy. AI assistance does not change our liability under this disclaimer or under Dutch law.
3. We do not provide professional advice
Articles on Airline Crew Discount are written for general information and aviation-lifestyle guidance only. They are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Specifically:
- Medical and wellness — content about jet lag, fatigue, sleep, fitness, nutrition, mental health, alcohol, or any health topic is general guidance, not medical advice. Consult a qualified physician for personal medical decisions.
- Legal — content about employment, residency, visas, taxes, or any legal matter is general information, not legal advice. Consult a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
- Financial — content about pensions, redundancy, currency, expat banking, or retirement planning is general information, not financial advice. Consult a qualified financial adviser.
- Immigration / aviation regulation — content about ID90 eligibility, retiree pass entitlements, visa rules, or aviation regulation is general information drawn from publicly available sources. Always confirm with your airline’s HR department, the relevant authority (FAA, EASA, ICAO, IATA, national civil aviation authority), or a licensed immigration adviser.
If you act on information from this site without independent professional verification, you do so at your own risk.
4. Affiliate links and commercial content
Airline Crew Discount earns affiliate commission from selected partners — Amazon Associates, Booking.com, Awin, CJ, Impact, Rakuten Advertising, FlexOffers, Daisycon, TradeTracker, SafetyWing, Marriott Bonvoy, Accor, IHG, Hilton, and others — when you book or buy through links on this site. Sponsored content is clearly labelled. The full list of partners and the rules we follow when recommending products are published on our affiliate disclosure page.
You never pay more because of a link on this site. The fact that an article contains an affiliate link does not change our editorial judgement, but you should be aware of the commercial relationship and weigh it as you would any independent recommendation.
5. External links
This site contains links to third-party websites — airlines, hotel groups, insurers, retailers, and other publishers. These links are provided for convenience and information. Airline Crew Discount does not control, endorse, or guarantee the content, accuracy, security, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Following an external link is at your own risk; we are not responsible for what happens once you leave this domain.
6. Airline staff identification
Many of the deals, partner rates, and crew benefits described on this site require valid airline staff identification, an ID90/ZED ticketing entitlement, an active or retired airline employee number, or proof of employment in the travel industry. Eligibility, verification, and final approval are determined by the merchant, airline, or partner — not by Airline Crew Discount. We cannot guarantee that any reader will qualify for any specific offer.
7. No warranty
The information, products, and services on this site are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, currency, non-infringement, or freedom from interruption or error. Use of this site is at your sole risk.
Where Dutch law or applicable European Union consumer-protection law grants you rights that cannot be excluded by this disclaimer, those rights remain unaffected.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch law (Boek 6 Burgerlijk Wetboek) and applicable European Union consumer-protection law, Alomax Amsterdam — the operator of Airline Crew Discount — is not liable for:
- Indirect or consequential loss — including loss of profit, loss of savings, loss of business opportunity, or loss of data — arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.
- Loss caused by third parties — including airlines, hotel groups, insurers, affiliate networks, payment processors, or any other party reachable through a link on this site.
- Time-sensitive deal changes — including price changes, withdrawal of crew rates, or expiry of partner offers between publication and your booking attempt.
- Errors in AI-assisted content that survived our editorial review process — although we will correct them under our corrections process as soon as we learn about them.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Dutch law.
9. Indemnity
You agree to hold Alomax Amsterdam, Captain AL, and the editorial desk of Airline Crew Discount harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by a third party as a result of your misuse of this site, your breach of these disclaimer terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. This is a standard indemnity clause and does not affect rights you have under Dutch consumer-protection law.
10. Modifications to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer from time to time as our practices, partners, or applicable law evolve. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Material changes will also be noted briefly in the editorial policy changelog. Your continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
11. Governing law and dispute resolution
This disclaimer is governed by the law of the Netherlands. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands — except where a consumer in another European Union country has a non-excludable right to bring proceedings in the courts of their habitual residence.
European Union consumers may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Our point of contact for ODR matters is info@airlinecrewdiscount.net.
12. Questions about this disclaimer?
For corrections, partnership questions, or anything else, contact us via the contact page or by email at info@airlinecrewdiscount.net. Our corrections process commits to acknowledging the message within 48 hours and resolving the issue within seven working days.
