What's happening in travel?

ClearFlight AIComing soon

One question. One clear answer.

Today Clear Flight Policy helps you search across airline policies, airports and travel rules. Next, we're building an assistant that answers the whole question in one place — with the sources it used.

Can I carry a power bank on my Delta flight?

What the assistant will do

  • Read the carrier's current dangerous-goods policy
  • Check the watt-hour limit for your battery
  • Tell you whether it belongs in cabin or checked baggage
  • Link the source it used

Illustration only — answers arrive in Phase 2.

Our approach

Information you can verify.

  • Official sources prioritized

    We aim to reference authoritative airline, airport and travel sources rather than second-hand summaries.

  • Clear editorial standards

    Every guide records how it was researched and when it was last checked. Corrections are welcome.

  • Organized to be usable

    Complex policies are broken into practical guides, grouped by the question you actually have.

Common questions

Travelers are asking

Can I change the passenger name on a flight?

Most airlines allow a spelling correction, and far fewer allow a transfer to a different passenger. The fee and the deadline vary by carrier and fare type.

Read the name correction guide
What happens if I miss my flight?

What you are owed depends on why you missed it and whether the rest of your itinerary is affected. Acting within the first hour usually matters most.

Read the missed flight guide
How early should I arrive at the airport?

Check-in and bag-drop cut-offs differ by airline and airport, and international departures generally need more margin than domestic ones.

Read the check-in guide
Can I travel with a pet?

Carriers differ on in-cabin versus cargo, carrier dimensions, breed restrictions and the health documentation required.

Read the pet travel guide
What counts as a personal item?

Personal item allowances are separate from carry-on allowances, and the permitted dimensions vary more than most travellers expect.

Read the baggage guide
What should I do when baggage is delayed?

File the report before leaving the airport, keep receipts for interim essentials, and know the compensation limits that apply to your route.
