This page explains how Travel Essentials Guide researches, writes and updates its articles.

Our sources

Document, entry and security rules come from the U.S. Department of State, TSA, FAA and CDC, and we link to the official page because these rules change. Packing quantities are starting points, not exact rules.

What we do not do

  • We do not claim to have tested products unless that is true, and we never invent test results, ratings, awards or quotes.
  • We do not publish Amazon prices, star ratings or customer reviews.
  • We do not accept payment to include or rank a product.

Use of AI tools

AI tools help draft some articles. A person checks every article before publication; facts, numbers and rules are verified against sources, and anything we cannot verify is removed.

Corrections and updates

We review articles regularly. If you find an error, please contact us.
