Update Policy

Purpose of updates

Our updates are meant to help travelers understand recent changes that may affect Lukla flight planning, transfers, baggage preparation, weather-related planning, delays, and trek-start logistics.

We publish updates to improve traveler awareness and planning. Updates are not official airport, airline, or authority announcements unless clearly identified as such.

How updates are added

We may add or revise updates using available information such as:

• airline notices
• airport-side information where available
• relevant authority information
• verified on-ground inputs
• traveler-planning guidance based on current conditions

When possible, updates include:

• the date
• the time
• a source label
• a short explanation of what the update may mean for travelers

Types of updates we may publish

• weather-related advisories
• routing notes
• transfer-related changes
• passenger guidance
• planning reminders
• general traveler-impacting notices

Not every update means a major disruption. Some updates are simply meant to help travelers prepare better.

Time-sensitive nature of updates

Conditions affecting Lukla travel can change quickly. Because of this:

• an update may become outdated after publication
• a later update may replace an earlier one
• different service providers may issue different operational information at different times

Travelers should use updates as planning support and should still confirm final travel details directly with their airline, operator, or relevant authority.

How often updates are made

We aim to publish or revise updates when meaningful new information becomes available and when it may help travelers make better decisions.

We do not promise updates at fixed intervals, and we do not guarantee continuous real-time coverage.

Archive and older updates

Some updates may remain visible in archive form for reference. Older updates should not be treated as current guidance unless clearly marked as current.

Travelers should always check the latest timestamp before relying on any advisory or notice.

Corrections to updates

We may revise or remove updates when:

• newer information becomes available
• a clarification is needed
• a source changes or corrects earlier information
• a user reports a possible issue
• the update is no longer useful in its existing form

User-submitted reports

Users may send possible changes or corrections through the site’s contact or reporting process.

A user-submitted report does not automatically become a published update. We may review, summarize, edit, verify, or decline submitted information before making any change.

Source labels

Where practical, updates may include labels such as:

• airline input
• airport-side input
• authority information
• verified field-source input
• traveler guidance

A source label is meant to provide context. It does not guarantee that the underlying information will remain unchanged after publication.

What updates do not do

• guarantee flight operation
• guarantee routing
• guarantee helicopter availability
• replace direct communication from airlines or operators
• serve as official legal or operational approval

Updates are meant to support travel planning, not replace direct confirmation.

Relationship to optional support

Updates and advisories are separate from any optional planning help or partner support shown on the site.

Optional planning support, including support linked to BidMyTrip.ai, should always be treated as separate from update and advisory content.

Our update standard

We aim to keep updates:

• practical
• clearly labeled
• time-aware
• honest about uncertainty
• useful for traveler decisions

Our goal is to help travelers understand what may affect their plans, while being clear that final travel decisions should always be confirmed directly with the relevant service provider or authority.
