Méthodologie
Provider transferability is compiled directly from carrier, hotel, and OTA published terms (the SpareHolidays transferability matrix), reviewed quarterly. Value and category figures are illustrative platform research, not audited financials, and will be replaced by anonymised marketplace data once liquidity supports a statistically meaningful sample.
The SpareHolidays editorial team researches airline, hotel, and OTA transfer and refund policies directly from carrier and provider terms, and updates each guide as policies change.
