Disclosures, plain English.

Independence

SkyMarket Media is an independent fare-research desk in Los Angeles. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or representing any airline, carrier, alliance, or operator. Where IATA carrier codes appear on result cards, they are the industry-standard two-letter designators assigned by the International Air Transport Association — they are used as descriptive identifiers for itinerary reference only, are not airline brand marks, and do not imply any affiliation with the assigning operator.

Comparison-search partners (FTC affiliate disclosure)

SkyMarket Media redirects readers to the following independent comparison-search partners (listed for FTC affiliate-disclosure transparency): Kayak. The desk is not the operator of any of these services; each partner runs its own pricing engine, refund policy, and customer-service operation. Comparison-search partner names are the trademarks of their respective owners; their inclusion here is for FTC affiliate-disclosure compliance and reflects an actual referral relationship, not an endorsement claim by the partner.

Affiliate disclosure

We may earn a small commission when you continue from SkyMarket Media to one of our comparison-search partner sites. This never increases your fare and never affects which fares we surface. The referral fee comes out of the partner's marketing budget, not yours. We do not accept payment to rank a partner higher.

Fare accuracy

SkyMarket Media surfaces fares using a deterministic generator seeded by your search parameters. The generator approximates published partner fares for the lane and date you request; it does not query partner APIs in real time. Why fares change between our card and the partner site: fare buckets close and reopen continuously. By the time you click Open at partner, the bucket may have sold out and the next cheapest letter become active. The partner site always shows the live, bookable price.

No-payments disclosure

SkyMarket Media does not accept any form of payment. We have no shopping cart, no PCI scope, no card storage. We hand traffic to comparison-search partners and that is our entire commercial relationship with you. We do not sell tickets, hold reservations, process payments, or issue boarding passes.

Carrier disclosure

The desk does not display airline names, airline logos, airline trademarks, or any visual element that implies a partnership with an airline. Operator-specific bundle terms (cabin classes, baggage rules, change rules, refund rules) described on the desk are illustrative averages drawn from publicly available sources; the authoritative source is the operator's own website or the comparison-search partner's checkout page at the moment of purchase.
