Last updated May 2026. CWS TRAVEL LLC operates cws-travel.com.
We get a flat referral fee from booking partners when you book through their checkout. The fee is the same regardless of which partner is chosen, so we have no incentive to push you toward one over another.
CWS Travel does not sell tickets. When you click "View deal" on a fare, you go to the operating airline's checkout (Delta.com, AA.com, United.com, etc.) or to a trusted booking partner (Kayak, Skyscanner, Expedia, etc.). If you complete a booking on the partner's site, the partner pays us a flat per-booking referral fee.
That fee is structurally flat — it does not change between partners and it does not change based on the airline you pick. The implication: we have no financial reason to surface fare A over fare B except the underlying fare quality and the carrier's on-time record.
A small number of U.S. carriers contribute to the cost of the on-time data feeds we license from BTS via private syndication. These contributions cover infrastructure costs only and never influence how we rank or describe any carrier. The list of contributing carriers is updated yearly and available on request.
