How YuSMP Travel makes money
The site is free for readers. We earn from advertising: banners in ad slots and partner offers that pay us a commission for a click or a purchase. Every ad is labelled "Ad". Links to our data sources are never partner links.

What "Ad" means on this site
There are two kinds of advertising on the site, and both are labelled.
- Banners in ad slots. They are served by our ad system and carry an "Ad" label.
- Partner offers: a separate block with a button. Above the title there is a line "Ad · advertiser · erid: …" naming the advertiser and the ad identifier required by Russian advertising law.
The link in such a block opens the partner's site in a new tab. If you buy something after the click, the partner pays us a commission. Your price stays the same.
Source links carry no partner tags
Our visa, flight, baggage and eSIM tables link to official sites, airlines and eSIM providers. These are sources: we use them to check facts, and you can check them too. They carry no partner tags, and we earn nothing from them.
Active partners
We have no partner programmes right now, so there are no partner links on the site. When a partner joins, it will be listed here.
Do partners affect our data?
No. Visa rules, baggage allowances, flight times and prices in our calculators come from official and verifiable sources, each with a check date. A partner cannot buy a place in a table, change a verdict or hide an inconvenient fact.

FAQ
Why is the site free?
Advertising pays for it: banners in ad slots and partner commissions for clicks and purchases. Our tools and data are free to use.
Will I pay more if I buy through a partner link?
No. The partner pays the commission from its own revenue, so your price is the same as if you went to the partner directly.
How do I tell an ad from a source?
Ads carry an "Ad" label and a line naming the advertiser. Links in tables and in the Sources section are fact sources with no partner tags.
What is an erid?
An ad identifier. Russian advertising law requires one for every online ad, and it is shown in the ad label.
Do partners pay for a place in tables or for a verdict?
No. Tables and verdicts are built only from source data with a check date. Ads live in separate, labelled blocks.
