Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

Travel information is often needed in difficult moments: a cancelled flight, an unfamiliar airport, a late arrival in a city you do not know. That is exactly when a page has to be readable. We work towards the WCAG 2.1 level AA guidelines as our reference standard. We have not commissioned a formal external audit and we do not claim certification or full conformance.

Keyboard navigation

• The header, mobile menu, search, article links and forms can all be reached and operated with Tab, Enter and the arrow keys.
• Focus is visible at every step, with a clear outline rather than a colour change alone.
• Nothing on the site traps keyboard focus, and no feature requires a hover or a drag.

Readable typography and structure

• Body text is set at a comfortable reading size with generous line height and a measured column width.
• Headings run in order, so a screen reader user can skim an article's structure rather than read it end to end.
• Text and background combinations are chosen for contrast, and colour is never the only way meaning is conveyed.
• Layouts reflow to a 320 px viewport and tolerate 200 percent text zoom without content being cut off.

Images and forms

Photographs carry alternative text that names what is shown, usually including the place, and each image has a visible caption with its photographer credit. Decorative elements and icons are hidden from assistive technology so they do not interrupt reading.

The newsletter, contact and support forms use real labels rather than placeholder text alone, group related fields, and report errors in text next to the field concerned.

Known limitations

Some alternative text is inherited from the original photographers' descriptions and is shorter than we would write ourselves. We rewrite those as each article comes up for review. Long articles do not yet have a skip link to their section list.

Ongoing improvement

Accessibility checks are part of publishing a page, not a separate project. When a reader reports a barrier, the fix goes into the same queue as any other defect and is usually shipped in the following update.
