Verified, Unverified, Expired: how we label fares

Fares change fast, sometimes within hours. We don't have any fares on PoTayto Picks yet. When we add them, every fare will carry a label and a time so you can see how fresh it is. Here's what each label will mean.

1. "Last checked"

Every fare will show a Last checked time in Melbourne time. That will be when we last confirmed the fare on the airline's or seller's site. Fares can change after that, so always check the price on the airline's own site before you book.

2. The three labels we'll use

A fare that hasn't been rechecked within 24 hours will move to Unverified.

3. "Was" prices

We'll only show a "was" price when it's genuine and recent, and we'll give its source and the date. If we can't back up a "was" price, we'll leave it out.

4. Example deals

If we ever show a sample to explain how something works, it will be clearly labelled Example deal. Samples are not real offers and can't be booked.

5. Affiliate links

This guide has no affiliate links. Some other PoTayto Picks pages do, and we label every one. If we ever add one here, we may earn a commission when you buy through it, and it won't change the price you pay.

6. Spotted a problem?

If a fare's gone or something looks wrong, let us know at hello@potaytopicks.com and we'll recheck it.

Key takeaways

• Every fare will have a Last checked time in Melbourne time.
• Verified = recently checked and bookable when we checked.
• Unverified = not rechecked in 24 hours.
• Expired = no longer available.
• "Was" prices only when genuine and recent, with source and date.
• Samples say "Example deal".

We don't list fares here, because they change all the time. Check the airline's own website for current fares and conditions.
