Affiliate disclosure

How GateCast is paid for, and what that does and doesn't affect.

Buttons and links marked Kiwi.com are affiliate links. They pass through the Awin affiliate network, and if you book on Kiwi.com after clicking one, GateCast may earn a commission. Buttons marked Expedia are affiliate links too, through Expedia's own affiliate programme (run on Partnerize): if you book on Expedia after clicking one, GateCast may earn a commission. The hotel search on our connection pages and airport guides works the same way: it opens trivago through Awin, and GateCast may earn a commission if you book a hotel there.

Each result has one booking button. It goes to Kiwi.com unless the trip includes a Delta or Southwest flight, which Kiwi.com doesn't list (as of 7 October 2026). A trip flown entirely by Southwest goes to southwest.com, which is not an affiliate link and earns GateCast nothing; any other trip with a Delta or Southwest flight goes to Expedia, which sells them. A flight to or from an airport outside the US, on an airline whose international flights we have not yet seen Kiwi.com sell, also goes to Expedia: the button says “Search this route on Expedia” and opens a search for your route and date. Kiwi.com opens a search for your route and date, narrowed to around the flights you picked, southwest.com opens its own flight search for your route and date, and Expedia opens a search for your route and date (for one airline's trip, filtered to that airline, the number of stops and the times of day your flights leave and land, on one-way searches), so each can list other flights too. On a trip with two airlines, the Kiwi.com button says "See similar flights on Kiwi.com". Kiwi.com lists similar pairings; the exact pair may not be among them.

One thing to know about Kiwi.com

Kiwi.com sells some journeys as separate tickets. Kiwi.com's own guarantee may cover a missed connection on those, on its conditions; the airline is not obliged to rebook you. A GateCast grade rates the timing of a connection. It does not know whether your booking is one ticket or two. On separate tickets a missed connection is not rebooked by the airline. Check which kind of booking you are making before you pay.

What no link changes

A grade is worked out from schedules, delay records, airport layouts and airline rules. No airline or booking site can buy a better grade, and whether a link earns us a commission never changes a grade or the order of the results.
