How Chunnel.uk Earns Revenue

Chunnel.uk is a free resource. We don't charge you for our guides, route information, or travel advice. To keep the site running and the content free, we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with train booking platforms and travel companies.

What This Means in Practice

When you click a booking link on our site and purchase a train ticket or travel product, we may receive a small commission from the booking platform. This commission is paid by the platform — not by you. The price you pay is the same whether you book through our link or go directly to the platform's website.

Our Partners

We link to third-party rail booking platforms and travel operators so readers can purchase tickets for the services we cover. The specific platforms we link to will evolve as our commercial arrangements develop, but our current and prospective commercial partners cover the categories below:

Rail ticket retailers — aggregator platforms that sell tickets for multiple train operators across Europe in a single booking flow, including cross-Channel and onward European rail services.
Rail pass providers — platforms selling Interrail and Eurail passes, as well as country-specific passes.
Direct operator websites — where linking directly to a train operator's own booking site makes more sense for the reader than using a reseller.

Where an affiliate relationship applies to a link, the booking platform pays us a small commission when a reader completes a purchase after clicking that link — at no extra cost to the reader. The price paid is the same whether you book through our link or go directly to the platform's own website.

We may add or change partners over time. This page will be updated to reflect material changes.

Our Editorial Standards

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Specifically:

We never recommend a product or service because it pays a higher commission.
We never inflate prices or add booking fees.
Our route guides, tips, and advice are based on our own experience and research — not on commercial relationships.
If we believe a direct booking would be better for you than using one of our affiliate links, we'll tell you so.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We believe in full transparency about how we earn revenue, and we want you to make informed decisions about the links you click and the bookings you make.
