Get Featured on TTweakFlight
Quick answer: Getting featured on TTweakFlight means earning independent editorial coverage — a mention, quote or story chosen by our team because it is genuinely interesting to travellers. It is free and cannot be bought. If your story does not fit our editorial calendar, the honest paid alternative is clearly labelled sponsored content. Share your story to be considered.
Key takeaways
- Earned, not bought: editorial features are chosen by our team on merit.
- Free: we do not charge for genuine editorial coverage.
- Paid alternative: if it is not an editorial fit, sponsored content is the labelled option.
- What helps: a genuinely newsworthy or useful travel story, well presented.
- How to try: pitch concisely via our contact page.
What “get featured” means here
Being featured is earned media: our editors decide to write about, quote or mention you because it adds something for our readers. That might be a genuinely new route, an unusual travel product, a data point worth sharing, or expertise that strengthens an article we are already writing. Because it is our independent judgement, it carries more weight with readers than anything paid — and for the same reason, it is not for sale.
What earns editorial coverage
- Genuine news — a launch, route, partnership or first-of-its-kind offering.
- Useful data — original travel research or statistics we can verify and cite.
- Real expertise — an expert source for a story we are working on.
- A strong traveller angle — something that genuinely helps or interests our audience.
- Timeliness — relevance to what travellers are searching for right now.
How to improve your chances
- Lead with the reader — explain why travellers would care, not why you want coverage.
- Be specific — concrete facts, dates and verifiable details beat vague claims.
- Offer something new — a fresh angle, data or access we cannot get elsewhere.
- Make it easy — a tight pitch, useful links and a contact for follow-up.
- Respect the beat — pitch stories that fit travel, flights and destinations.
How to share your story
Send a short, specific pitch via our contact page or [email protected]. Tell us what the story is, why it matters to travellers now, and what makes it credible — data, access or expertise. Include links and a contact. We read every pitch, but we only cover what fits our editorial judgement and calendar, so a focused, reader-first pitch has the best chance.
Earned coverage vs paid placement
It is important to be clear about the line. Editorial features are decided by our team and cannot be paid for. If your story is not an editorial fit — perhaps it is more promotional than newsworthy — you can still reach our audience through clearly labelled sponsored content, advertising or a press release. Paying for one of those never buys editorial coverage, and it never changes an independent review or ranking. That separation is what makes both routes worthwhile.
What we will not do
- We do not sell editorial coverage, mentions or verdicts — ever.
- We do not let advertisers or partners influence our independent reporting.
- We do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links or placements.
- We do not publish fabricated praise, guarantees of coverage or invented results.
After you pitch
If your story fits, an editor may follow up for detail, quotes or verification. If it does not, we may not reply individually given volume — but a strong, timely pitch is always worth sending. And if editorial is not the fit, we are happy to point you to the labelled paid option that is.
Building a relationship with our newsroom
The organisations that earn coverage most often are not the ones that pitch hardest — they are the ones our editors have come to see as reliable. Being a good source is a long game: respond quickly when we ask a question, provide accurate detail, and offer genuine access or data rather than spin. Over time that reputation makes it far easier for your news to be taken seriously.
- Be reachable — a named contact who answers promptly is invaluable near a deadline.
- Be accurate — one exaggerated claim can cost future credibility.
- Be useful year-round — offer expert comment even when you have nothing to sell.
- Respect the beat — pitch what genuinely fits travel and our readers.
None of this guarantees a story — editorial judgement always decides. But it stacks the odds in your favour, and it is the honest route to earned coverage. When a specific campaign needs guaranteed placement, that is what the clearly labelled paid options are for.
