Simple Flying is an independent free to read aviation news website.
Our content will always be free to read. But in order for this to be the case, we support our operations in a number of ways:
Display advertising
You will see advertising banners on the website within our articles and sidebars. These advertisements are not controlled by Simple Flying and are managed by an external company. Cookies are sometimes used to personalize advertisements to you.
If you see an offensive ad, or an inappropriate ad please do contact us by using the general form on our contact us page.
You can view our cookie policy and manage your cookie preferences here. You can also read our privacy policy here.
Video advertising
On-site video units
On Simple Flying, you may see one or two video units. These video units will show a video from our Youtube channel, but before the video plays, an advert may show. The advert could be anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds long.
Youtube
We operate two YouTube channels. These videos are monetized by video ads, display ads, sponsored cards, and overlay ads. You can read more about Youtube ads here.
We also occasionally have third parties sponsor one of our Youtube videos. If this is the case, we will clearly announce it at the start of the video.
Affiliate sales
Commission Junction
Simple Flying is a member of Commission Junction. This allows us to insert links into content when appropriate. Here is an example:
If we run a story on a good flight deal, we may have a link to book the flights on Google Flights and Expedia. The link to Expedia will be an affiliate link and Simple Flying will be paid a commission on any flight bookings.
The current partners who we are working with via Commission Junction are Expedia and Kiwi.
Skyscanner
Simple Flying is a member of the Skyscanner affiliate program. Links within content may be shown for flight books, and if you click, Simple Flying may be eligible for a commission.
Sponsored articles
Occasionally we will work with a sponsor to publish a sponsored article on Simple Flying. If the article is sponsored, it will be clearly labeled with the tag ‘Sponsored Content’. If you’re an advertiser reading this, you can request our media kit here.
Paid subscriptions
Simple Flying offers a paid ad-free subscription for its Android and iOS app. This allows you to read our content ad-free. You can pay either monthly or yearly, through your respective app store provider.
