Sun Country prices carry-on and checked bags dynamically during booking and publishes no flat fee, so we no longer show one.

Aer Lingus 2nd checked bag: from $65 to Not published.

Aer Lingus prices checked bags by route and date (only excess baggage at EUR 10/kg is fixed), so we no longer show a flat second-bag fee.

Virgin Atlantic 2nd checked bag: from $100 to Not published.

Virgin Atlantic's additional-bag fee depends on the route and appears only during booking, so we no longer show a flat figure.

Air Arabia says checked-bag fees vary by route and shows them only during booking, so we no longer show a flat figure.

Viva Aerobus's pets-in-cabin page lists requirements only; the fee appears only during booking, so we no longer show one.

Air Transat publishes no fixed in-cabin pet fee (it is quoted at booking or by phone), so we no longer show one.

Wizz Air cabin trolley: from $35 to Not published.

WIZZ Priority (the large cabin bag) is priced by route and date, and Wizz publishes no representative fixed price, so we no longer show one.

Gol 1st checked bag: from $26 to Not published.

GOL's fees page shows the first checked bag varies by fare and channel (R$50 online / R$100 at the counter on domestic flights; US$15/US$30 international; free on MAX/PLUS). With no single flat fee, we no longer show one and describe the price structure instead.

China Airlines in-cabin pet: from $150 to Not offered.

Corrected a fee that does not exist: China Airlines has no in-cabin pet option. Pets travel only as cargo, and only service dogs ride in the cabin, free. We no longer show an in-cabin pet fee.

Eurowings in-cabin pet: from EUR 55 to EUR 60 (~$65).

Official from-price is EUR 60 each way (varies by route); the 55 we showed was a data-entry error (it matched the 55 cm carrier length). Corrected to 65 (USD-equivalent of EUR 60).

JFK parking: from $60 / $40 / $25 / $75 to $74 / $55 / (none) / (none).

Official drive-up maximums: Long-Term Lot $55; terminal garages $74-$94 (our short-term rate uses the $74 low end). JFK has no economy lot and no valet, so we no longer show rates for those.

LaGuardia LGA long-term parking: from $39 to Not published.

LGA has no long-term drive-up lot; the only cheaper option is reservation-only Prepaid Economy (~$40), so we no longer show a long-term rate. Terminal drive-up maximums confirmed ($75/$80/$89).

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) S-Bahn single fare to city: from ~EUR 5.80 to EUR 6.90.

The Frankfurt Airport S-Bahn (S8/S9) single fare to the city is 6.90 EUR (RMV fare level 4), read verbatim from the official RMV Preisliste 2026 PDF (Einzelfahrt Erwachsene, Preisstufe 4 = 6,90). Corrected from the prior retained ~5.80 EUR across the FRA minimum-connection-time and layover guides.

Source

Australia (ETA visa) Australian ETA application cost: from 20 AUD plus a 5 AUD service fee to 20 AUD service charge only (no other charge).

Corrected our own record to match the official source. The Australian Home Affairs ETA (subclass 601) page states 'There is a service charge of AUD20 to use the Australian ETA app. There is no other charge payable for an ETA.' Our Australia packing-list FAQ had said '20 AUD plus a 5 AUD service fee'; the extra 5 AUD was never an official charge. Our Australia visa summary already said '20 AUD service charge', so only the FAQ was out of sync, and no other page repeated the wrong fee. Our source link now points at the Home Affairs ETA page.

Source

Ireland (entry requirements) passport validity requirement: from Keep at least 6 months of passport validity to Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay.

Corrected our own record to match the official source. Ireland is not in Schengen, so the 3-months-beyond-Schengen rule does not apply and there is no 6-month rule; the US State Department's Ireland page states the passport 'Must be valid for the duration of your stay in Ireland.' Our '6 months' overstated the requirement. 90-day visa-free entry and Ireland's non-Schengen, no-ETIAS status are re-confirmed unchanged. No other page repeated the 6-month figure for Ireland. Our source link now points at the current State Department travel advisory page.

Source

Colombia (entry requirements) passport validity requirement: from Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond entry to Passport must be valid for the duration of your stay; six months recommended.

Corrected our own record to match the official source. The US State Department's Colombia page states the passport 'Must be valid at the time of entry and for the duration of your stay' and separately 'Recommend 6 months validity.' We had presented 6 months as a hard requirement; it is only recommended, so we softened it. The 90-day visa-free entry, the one-time extension to 180 days per year (Permiso de Turismo), and the Check-Mig form are accurate Migracion Colombia policy and stay. We made the same fix in the Cartagena packing-list FAQ, which said '(at least 6 months remaining)'. Our source link now points at the current State Department travel advisory page.

Source

South Korea (entry requirements) passport validity + K-ETA exemption end date: from passport valid at least 6 months beyond stay; K-ETA waiver 'extended year to year' to passport valid at time of entry (no minimum validity); K-ETA required starting January 1, 2027.

Corrected our own record to match the official source. The US State Department's South Korea page states the passport 'Must be valid at the time of entry. There is no minimum expiration validity requirement.' Our '6 months' overstated it. The page also gives a firm date: 'The K-ETA exemption for U.S. passport holders was extended through December 31, 2026. Starting January 1, 2027, you will need a K-ETA', so we replaced our vague 'extended year to year' wording with that date (noting earlier waivers were extended). The 90-day visa-free entry and the K-ETA fee and validity are unchanged. We fixed the passport line in our Osaka vs Seoul FAQ, which wrongly said 'Both require passports valid for at least 6 months' (false for both Japan and Korea). The Seoul and Busan packing checklists still suggest a passport valid for six months as cautious advice and are queued for an editor's review.

75 destination guides per-day cost estimates reframed as ranges: from single point estimates (seeded 2026-05-17) to budget-to-mid-range daily ranges.

We re-checked daily costs for 75 destinations against Budget Your Trip (traveler cost per day has no official source). Its crowdsourced averages had drifted 25-60% since we first added them on May 17, 2026, and no other source agreed closely, so we now show a budget-to-mid-range daily range with a note on variance instead of a single figure. Updated across 73 destination comparison pages. On 15 of them the new data flipped which city is cheaper, and those are queued for an editor's review.

Celebrity Cruises Evening Chic frequency: from Graduated: one on 4-6 nights, two on 7-9, three on 10-13, four or more on 14+ to One Evening Chic night on shorter cruises, two on longer voyages.

Our graduated 4-tier structure was outdated. Celebrity's own what-to-wear guide says: 'Every seven-night cruise has one Evening Chic night ... longer voyages will have two.' We use the cautious shorter/longer wording because Celebrity's FAQ and blog differ on exactly where the 7-night cutoff falls. Our old source page had moved, so the link now points at the live guide, and we corrected the evening baseline label from 'resort casual' to 'Smart Casual' per the same source. Updated across our Celebrity comparisons and cruise packing checklist.

Source

Princess Cruises formal-night frequency: from Graduated: zero on 6 nights or fewer, one on 7-night, two on 10-13, three on 14 to Dress to Impress: one on shorter cruises, two or more on longer voyages.

Princess rebranded formal nights to 'Dress to Impress' and simplified the structure. Its own packing guide says: 'Formal nights - called Dress to Impress - feature once on shorter sailings and two or more times on longer voyages'; 'Shorter cruises typically include one formal night, while longer voyages may include two or more.' We retired the old 'zero formal nights on 6 nights or fewer' claim, since short cruises now include one. Our old source page had moved, so the link now points at the live guide. We had spotted this conflict on Aug 12, 2026; it is now resolved. Updated across our Princess comparisons and cruise packing checklist.

Source

Cunard Gala Evening frequency: from 3+ nights at least one; 7-night typically one; 14-night two or three to Voyages of 3 nights or more include at least one Gala Evening (exact count in My Cunard calendar).

Simplified to match the official source. Cunard's what-to-pack page states only 'On voyages of three nights or more, at least one Gala Evening ... These special nights feature an elevated dress code and are entirely optional.' Our per-length breakdown (7-night one, 14-night two or three) is not published by Cunard, so we removed it; the confirmed core and the four themes (Black and White, Red and Gold, Roaring 20s, Masquerade Ball) remain. Our comparison pages already describe Gala Evenings by theme and say they scale with length, so no other page needed a change.

Source

Mexico City (AICM) long-term parking: from $12 to Not published.

We no longer show a long-term rate. AICM uses a single daily tariff (MXN 391 max) with no cheaper on-airport long-term option, so the $12 we showed was an estimate with no official basis.

Source

Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) airport-to-Hauptbahnhof single fare: from ~EUR 3.40 to EUR 3.80.

Internal consistency fix: our airport data still showed the pre-reform ~EUR 3.40 estimate while the guide already stated EUR 3.80. The official VRR EinzelTicket page shows Preisstufe A = 3,80 EUR after the Jun 1, 2026 VRR fare reform. Nothing changed for readers, since the guide was already correct.

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) short-term parking, daily max: from $30 to $29.

Correction to our record. The official state DOT page shows a single uniform garage rate structure (all garages), 8+ hours capped at $29 currently through June 30 2027 ($30 from July 1 2027). Our stored $30 was the future 2027 rate and the per-garage split ($27/$29/$30) is no longer how the airport prices. long-term corrected to the same $29 uniform rate.

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) long-term parking, daily max: from $27 to $29.

HNL is garage-only with one uniform rate; there is no cheaper long-term lot. Corrected from the old per-garage $27 to the current uniform $29 daily max.

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) parking, daily rate: from $55 to €43/day (~$47).

Corrected to the official EUR rate and now shown in EUR with an approximate USD conversion. Frankfurt prices parking in EUR; the official price sheet (valid 01.07.2026) gives Terminal Parking EUR 43/day (short-term), Short-Term (T1 P31) EUR 55/day, EUR 13/day from the 8th day. Our prior $55 was a stale derived conversion. long-term/economy USD left blank (no clean single daily rate; online booking is dynamic).

Kansas City International Airport (MCI) parking daily rates: from $16 long / $8 economy / $27 valet to $20 long / $9 economy / $35 valet.

Corrected against the official site. Our earlier rates came from third-party sites and described the OLD terminal (Garages B&C, Circle Lots) that closed when the new single terminal opened Feb 28, 2023; the old official domain (flykci.com) no longer works. Re-sourced from flykc.com/parking: Garage $28/day (unchanged), Surface Lot $20/day (was $16), Economy $9/day (was $8), Valet $35/day (was $27). Our source link now points at flykc.com.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) parking, daily rate: from $40 to Not published.

We no longer show Madrid parking rates. AENA moved to per-lot pages that state 'the rate is per minutes' and post no daily euro maximum; parking is reservation-led and dynamic with no fixed published rate, the same as Barcelona (also AENA, where we already show none). The earlier $40/$20/$12 came from an older AENA page and third-party sites. The long-term and economy rates were removed at the same time.

Bangkok / Thailand visa exemption: from 30 days (reverted, asserted as done) to 60-day exemption in force (July 2024 scheme); Cabinet-approved 30-day cut pending Royal Gazette.

Our Bangkok and Chiang Mai pages asserted the 60-to-30-day cut was already in effect. Per the Tourism Authority of Thailand (16 July 2026), the 60-day exemption introduced in July 2024 remains the measure in force; the Cabinet-approved 30-day reduction is still pending publication in the Royal Gazette and takes effect 15 days after. Text now states 60 days in force with the cut pending, and no longer hedges on which applies.

Cozumel (Quintana Roo) Visitax: from 283 MXN to 285 MXN.

Quintana Roo's mandatory tourist tax. The official state-government page states a stable rate of 285 pesos for 2026; the 283 we showed had no current source. Corrected here and in the Cozumel guide and packing list. (The visitax.gob.mx payment portal gates the amount behind its form and does not publish it.)

Port of San Francisco cruise terminals: from 1 to 3.

The port berths cruise ships at three separate locations, Pier 27 (James R. Herman Cruise Terminal), Pier 35 and Piers 30/32, up to a mile apart. Our record listed only one, so passengers had no signal that sailings depart from different piers.

Port Tampa Bay cruise parking, per day: from $18 to Not published.

Port Tampa Bay does not publish a flat daily parking rate; parking is sold through an online prepay system keyed to cruise line and dates. Our $18/day figure came from third-party sources, not the port, so it has been removed rather than restated.

Mobile Alabama Cruise Terminal Cruise parking, per day: from $18 to $23.

Our stored $18/day was derived by dividing an older aggregator-quoted 4-day package ($72) and was not supported by any current source. The terminal operator publishes $23/day standard, $46 for RVs/campers and $69 for buses. Corrected to the official figure.

Heathrow (LHR) layover guide UK ETA required for US citizens from: from 25 February 2026 to 8 January 2025.

Our Heathrow guide dated the US-citizen ETA requirement to 25 February 2026, conflating it with the carrier-enforcement milestone. Official gov.uk: non-European visa-exempt nationals (incl. USA, Canada, Australia) could apply from 27 Nov 2024 and needed an ETA to travel from 8 Jan 2025; separately, from 25 Feb 2026 airlines must deny boarding without one. Both dates now stated distinctly. Resolves a contradiction with our London and UK pages, which already said January 2025. Fee (GBP 20) unchanged.

Royal Caribbean per-guest luggage weight limit: from 200 lb to Not published.

Source

Celebrity Cruises per-bag luggage weight limit: from 200 lb to Not published.

Correction to our own record. Celebrity's US 'Preparing for Your Cruise' FAQ states there is no limit or restriction on luggage, only a recommendation to bring a reasonable amount. The 200 lb figure traces to a 90 kg per-guest total in Celebrity's UK Booking Conditions, which is a jurisdictional booking term rather than a per-bag cap, so it no longer populates the per-bag field. Both readings are recorded in the baggage notes.
