Airline Policy Change Monitor
We maintain a watch list of official policy sources and review possible wording changes. A changed webpage is a lead for research, not proof that traveler options changed.
Current public status
The policy index currently lists 40 schedule-relevant first-party airline sources, each with its own check date. Automated monitoring covers only eligible public HTML sources; other documents require manual review. We have not yet verified an old-versus-new material airline-policy change for publication. No change notice is listed here until both versions and their practical meaning are checked.
1 · Detect
Fetch a permitted public source carefully, compare a normalized content snapshot, and flag a meaningful text difference.
2 · Verify
Open the current official page, preserve the prior wording, confirm dates and any supporting primary document.
3 · Interpret
Check whether thresholds, travel windows, airports, routing, cabin, refunds, or restrictions actually changed.
4 · Publish
Only material, verified changes receive a dated public note with both source links, limits, and a correction path.
The source list and last-checked dates are in the policy index. Our methodology explains why interface changes and unreviewed diffs are never published as policy news.
