About · Editorial collective

A pan-African flight publication writing under one editorial byline.

CheapFlightsAfrica is an editorial collective covering flights from Africa — diaspora corridors to the UK, Gulf, and North America; Hajj and Umrah from West and East Africa; intra-African connectivity; and African business travel hubs. We publish original reporting and weekly fare brackets under a single team byline, not press releases or generic travel-agency copy.

Why we publish under one byline

Every CheapFlightsAfrica article carries a single byline: CheapFlightsAfrica Editorial Team. We chose this model for three reasons.

  • Source protection. Several contributors hold sensitive industry contacts — current airline employees, national Hajj commission liaisons (NAHCON, SAHUC, GHC), and in-country Hajj coordinators in Saudi Arabia. A single team byline protects those sources.
  • Editorial consistency. One byline reinforces one voice across four registers — diaspora-warm, Hajj-formal-respectful, intra-Africa business-neutral, intra-Africa leisure — and one set of standards.
  • Honest process. Articles go through an author, a fact-checker, and a standards pass before publishing. Crediting one name on a piece that three editors shaped would misrepresent how the work was actually done.

Editorial standards

  • Two-source rule on YMYL topics — visa rules, Hajj packages, customs thresholds, baggage allowance. At least one source must be a national civil aviation regulator (SACAA, NCAA Nigeria, KCAA, GCAA), a recognised Hajj commission, or an airline IR filing.
  • USD as pan-African baseline, with ZAR, NGN, KES, GHS shown inline in parentheses where useful for the reader's market.
  • Weekly fare snapshots pulled from the Travelpayouts API — never boilerplate copy. See our methodology page for full data-collection details.
  • UK-English spelling and SI units throughout.
  • Affiliate disclosure on every relevant page — see disclosure.
  • No safari clichés, "wild Africa" imagery, poverty framing, tribal-attire shorthand, or political commentary on apartheid or post-colonial history. Coverage is forward-looking and travel-pragmatic.

How we work

  • Author + fact-checker on different desks. Every article passes through at least two editors before publication; YMYL pieces (visas, Hajj 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.
  • Verified-on stamp. The "Last verified" 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 CheapFlightsAfrica is NOT

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