Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

What This Means

The Carry-On Co. participates in affiliate programs, including the Travelpayouts network, which covers flights, hotels, tours, and car rentals. This means that when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.

Our Commitment to You

Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. Every hotel, flight route, or service we recommend is based on genuine quality, value, and personal experience. We recommend the same options we would book for ourselves — the commission is a bonus, not the reason for the recommendation.

We never recommend a product, service, or destination solely because it pays a higher commission. If a non-affiliate option is genuinely better for your trip, we will tell you.

What We Participate In

We currently use Travelpayouts, an affiliate marketing platform covering major travel brands including flights, hotels, and experiences. We may also include occasional links to Gumroad (for our City Cheat Sheet products, which we sell directly).

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, reach us at hello@carryonco.net.
