Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 18 September 2026
What are affiliate links?
An affiliate link is one where, if you click through and go on to book a hotel, flight, or activity, the site can earn a small commission from the booking platform at no extra cost to you. Affiliate programmes are a standard way for independent travel websites to sustain their operations without charging readers or accepting sponsored content.
Current status: ChaseSeasons has an active affiliate partnership with Expedia (via Expedia Partner Solutions). Links to Expedia on this site — for example the "Search Expedia" button on a destination page — carry affiliate tracking, and we earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. We do not currently link to Booking.com or any other booking platform; we removed our Booking.com links because we do not yet have a working affiliate agreement with them, and we don't link to a booking platform without one. This page will be updated whenever that changes.
Which affiliate networks do we work with?
Expedia (via Expedia Partner Solutions) is our only confirmed, active affiliate partnership today. We are evaluating additional programmes operated by platforms including Booking.com, Awin (whose merchants include lastminute.com), GetYourGuide, and Viator. None of these are confirmed partnerships yet — the list reflects our intended monetisation model, not a current commercial relationship with any named company beyond Expedia.
Affiliate links on this site behave and look the same as any other external link. We do not use, and will not use, deceptive link-cloaking techniques.
Does commission affect our rankings or editorial content?
No. Commission rates have no influence on how we rank destinations, which season tags we assign, or what we write about any destination. Every destination on this site is covered on its merits, whether or not we have an affiliate relationship with a booking platform for it.
Destinations are, and will continue to be, ordered by the quality and relevance of their shoulder-season opportunity for UK travellers — not by commission. For more detail on how we maintain editorial independence, see our Editorial Standards page.
Our data is independently researched
ChaseSeasons's seasonal scores, price indices, and crowd indices are derived from publicly available data sources — historical temperature records (Meteostat, NASA POWER), published fare patterns, destination tourism authority reports, and UK school holiday calendars. No affiliate partner has paid for, reviewed, or influenced these data points.
For full details of our data sources, see the Data Sources page.
Regulatory compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidance on affiliate marketing, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidance on online reviews and endorsements, and the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials (where applicable to international readers).
Every page on ChaseSeasons with a live affiliate link — currently, every destination page, next to its Expedia search button — carries a short inline notice stating that the link is an affiliate link and that we may earn a commission from it. This page has the fuller detail behind that short notice, and is updated as our affiliate relationships change.
