Corrections policy

Every data point published on InstantTripCost must be verifiable and correctable. When an error is confirmed, it is corrected publicly, and the change is logged.

That's the flip side of our editorial choice: not hiding approximations behind a single byline, but documenting the method so it can be challenged.

To report an error, email contact@instanttripcost.com with:

• the page concerned (full URL)
• the data point you believe is wrong
• the source or experience that makes you think so
• the value you'd propose instead, if you have one

Anonymous reports are accepted. The editorial team asks for no identity justification to examine a report.

Each report is examined by the editorial team within two business days. The review checks three things:

1. The report concerns data actually published by InstantTripCost (not a personal opinion about a destination).
2. The data is actually incorrect given the editorial sources and the report itself.
3. The proposed correction, if any, is consistent with the published methodology.

When all three conditions are met, the correction is published. When the report is rejected, the editorial team explains why by email.

Corrections are published in two ways.

Silent correction for minor errors (typo, spelling, broken link): the change is made without public annotation.

Logged correction for errors on published quantitative data (price, index, statistic, factual claim): an errata note is added at the bottom of the page concerned, dated, listing the old value, the new value, and briefly the reason for the change.

Logged corrections stay visible as long as the page exists.

If you reported an error and the editorial team rejected your report, you can request a re-examination by replying to the rejection email with additional elements (another source, quantitative counter-example).

If the disagreement persists after re-examination, you can ask us to add a "differing view" note on the page concerned. Adding such a note is at the team's discretion but will not be refused without reason.
