Why we publish under one byline
Every FlightsMX article carries a single byline: FlightsMX Editorial Team. Three reasons.
- Source protection. Several contributors hold sensitive industry contacts — current airline employees, former SECTUR staff who coordinated paisano-tourism programs, diocesan contacts for the Camino. A single byline protects those sources.
- Editorial consistency. One byline reinforces one voice across four registers — paisano-warm, Camino-formal, Caribbean-leisure, LATAM business-neutral — and one set of standards.
- Honest process. Every article passes through author, fact-checker, and a standards editor before publishing. Crediting three editors' work to a single name would misrepresent how the work was actually done.

Editorial standards
- Two-source rule on YMYL topics — visa rules, paisano baggage, CBP procedure, Camino costs. At least one source must be a regulator (AFAC, SICT, INM, SECTUR), US Customs and Border Protection, or an airline IR filing.
- MXN as base currency, with USD shown in parentheses where useful. No ambiguous "$" — always explicit "MXN" or "USD".
- Weekly fare snapshots pulled from the Travelpayouts API — never boilerplate copy. See our methodology page for full data-collection details.
- Mexican Spanish: "ustedes" as plural-you; "vosotros" is forbidden. Spanish/English code-switching is fine where it reflects how paisanos actually speak.
- Affiliate disclosure on every relevant page — see disclosure.
- No sombrero / mariachi / narco-clichés. We never use "wetback," "illegal," or "undocumented" to refer to people. Migration language is neutral and respectful.
How we work
- Author + fact-checker on different desks. Every article passes through at least two editors before publication; YMYL pieces (visas, CBP rules, compensation claims) go through an additional standards check.
- Dated corrections. Material errors get a public correction note at the top of the article with the date of the change.
- "Last verified" stamp. The date shown on each article reflects when the data sources behind that page were last cross-checked. We do not bump it without an actual re-verification pass.
- No paid placement. Hotel and route reviews carry explicit disclosure when affiliate links are present; airline rankings are not pay-to-play.

What FlightsMX is NOT
We are not a travel agency. You book directly through Aviasales, Hotellook, Skyscanner, Trip.com, or Booking.com links; FlightsMX earns a small commission at no additional cost to you, which funds our operation without pop-up ads or pay-to-play airline rankings.
