Ethics is a hot topic in the blogging world, so we have decided to share our code of ethics. Firstly, we have included disclosures of any compensated relationships in the airline/travel industry. Secondly, I have disclosed details about our willingness to accept free or discounted products along with all offers, whether they have been accepted, and whether any blog posts were written about them. Our goal is to be an open book here. You can always contact us with questions or comments at mature_traveller@maturetraveltips.com.

Disclosure of Current Compensated Relationships

• We currently have no financial holdings in any airlines.
• We are not currently working with, or having discussions about working with any airlines or airports.

Code of Ethics

For the purpose of this code, “free and/or discounted products and services” refers to anything above the cost of a meal offered to us for free or for a discount simply because of our status as bloggers.

• When we write about free and/or discounted products and services, we will always disclose on this page who gave them to us, when they were given to us, and when we wrote about them. We will also include the discount amount offered in any post on the products/services.
• We will always write the truth about a product or service regardless of whether it is good or bad. We will never trade favourable press for free and/or discounted products and services.
• We will only accept free and/or discounted products and services if the people offering the products/services confirm that they have read this code of ethics and are willing to abide by the rules that have been set here.
• Just because we have been provided with free and/or discounted products and services does not mean we will write about them. The only criteria for determining whether or not to write about a product/service is if it will make for a compelling post, good or bad.

List of Offered Free or Discounted Products/Services

The following is a full and complete list of trips/flights/fandangles with a value of over $100 that have been offered to us along with whether they were accepted or not. This list does not include invitations to events unless a free or discounted product or service accompanied that invitation.
