Why we publish under one byline
Every SiamFlights article carries a single byline: SiamFlights Editorial Team. Three reasons.
- Source protection. Several contributors hold sensitive industry contacts — current airline staff, liaisons at the Office of the Sheikh-ul-Islam (Chularatchamontri) for Hajj quota administration, and in-country Hajj coordinators in Saudi Arabia. A single byline protects those sources.
- Editorial consistency. One byline reinforces one voice across four registers — GCC-practical, Hajj-formal-respectful, Buddhist pilgrim-restrained, domestic-friendly — and one set of standards.
- Honest process. Every article passes through author, fact-checker, and a standards editor before publishing. Crediting three editors' work to a single name would misrepresent how the work was actually done.

Editorial standards
- Two-source rule on YMYL topics — visa rules, Hajj/Umrah packages, customs thresholds, airport fees. At least one source must be a regulator (CAAT, AOT, the Office of the Sheikh-ul-Islam, the Department of Consular Affairs), or an airline IR filing.
- THB as base currency with USD shown in parentheses where useful. Format: "฿X,XXX" with standard baht symbol.
- Weekly fare snapshots pulled from the Travelpayouts API — never boilerplate copy. See our methodology page for full data-collection details.
- Industry vocabulary used as-is (CAAT, AOT, IATA). English loanwords appear only where no standard Thai term exists.
- Affiliate disclosure on every relevant page — see disclosure.
- No political commentary; no reference to sensitive legal topics. Coverage is travel-pragmatic and fare-focused only.
How we work
- Author + fact-checker on different desks. Every article passes through at least two editors before publication; YMYL pieces (visas, Hajj rules, compensation claims) go through an additional standards check.
- Dated corrections. Material errors get a public correction note at the top of the article with the date of the change.
- "Last verified" stamp. The date shown on each article reflects when the data sources behind that page were last cross-checked. We do not bump it without an actual re-verification pass.
- No paid placement. Hotel and route reviews carry explicit disclosure when affiliate links are present; airline rankings are not pay-to-play.

What SiamFlights is NOT
We are not a travel agency. You book directly through Aviasales, Hotellook, Skyscanner, Trip.com, or Booking.com links; SiamFlights earns a small commission at no additional cost to you, which funds our operation without pop-up ads or pay-to-play airline rankings.
