Merchant transparency

Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Overview of Affiliate Relationships

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and global digital publication advertising standards, Cheapox hereby discloses that we utilize affiliate referral programs to generate operational revenue.

This means that some of the outbound links displayed on Cheapox (specifically buttons labeled "Check Rates," "Book Now," or "Compare Prices" in our transit timetable tables and widgets) are affiliate links. When you click these links and purchase a train, coach, or flight ticket, we receive a small referral commission.

2. No Additional Cost to You

CRITICAL COMMITMENT: Purchasing a ticket through an affiliate redirect link on Cheapox has absolutely no impact on the price you pay. Fares, discounts, and booking fees remain exactly the same as they would if you visited the partner's website directly.

Affiliate payouts are covered entirely by the marketing budgets of the merchant partners (e.g. Trainline, Omio) and do not result in surcharges or markups for our users.

3. Our Merchant Partners

Cheapox maintains affiliate partner relationships with the following transport distributors:

  • Trainline: Facilitating high-speed rail ticket bookings across the UK and Europe.
  • Omio: Comparing and booking multi-modal train, bus, and flight connections.
  • FlixBus: Providing booking services for budget-friendly intercity coaches and express bus networks.
  • Skyscanner: Comparison searches for international and domestic flight routes.
  • Klook: Distributing regional transit passes, airport express train bookings, and local transport deals.

4. Editorial & Comparison Integrity

Our comparison engine is built around objective routing criteria: travel time duration, vehicle modes, popularity scores, and transit connections.

While we display affiliate booking buttons, we list all transport alternatives (including non-affiliate options or fallback providers) side-by-side. The presence of an affiliate partnership does not alter our data presentation or estimated lowest fare calculations.
