General guidance only

Everything published on boardinggate.io — guides, checklists, and tool results — is general information, not legal, immigration, medical, or financial advice. Entry requirements, visa rules, baggage allowances, and airport procedures change frequently and can vary by nationality, passport type, purpose of travel, and individual circumstances.

Tool-specific disclaimers

Our interactive tools provide estimates and general guidance:

• Schengen Calculator — counts days based on dates you enter. It does not account for bilateral agreements, special visa categories, or individual border officer discretion.
• EU261 / UK261 Calculator — estimates compensation based on published EU and UK regulations. Actual payouts depend on airline response, extraordinary circumstances, and whether you file a valid claim.
• Visa Checker — shows general visa requirements by nationality. Dual citizens, diplomatic passport holders, and travelers with criminal records may face different rules.
• Overstay Fine Calculator — estimates penalties based on published fine schedules. Actual penalties can include detention, deportation, or entry bans at the discretion of immigration authorities.
• Packing List Generator, Jet Lag Planner, Tipping Calculator, Tap Water Checker — produce suggestions based on general data. They are not medical advice, and conditions at your destination may differ from what any database reflects.

No tool on this site replaces professional legal, medical, or immigration counsel.

Always verify with official sources

Before you travel, confirm requirements with:

• The official embassy or consulate of your destination country.
• Your airline (for baggage, check-in, and transit rules).
• Your travel insurance provider (for coverage terms and claim procedures).

If our information and an official source disagree, the official source is correct.

Currency and data accuracy

Where we reference fines, fees, or compensation amounts, these reflect the most recent published figures at the time of writing. Exchange rates, fee schedules, and penalty structures change. Confirm current amounts with the relevant authority.

No liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, boardinggate.io is not responsible for any loss — financial, legal, or otherwise — arising from reliance on this site, including denied boarding, refused entry, visa refusals, overstay penalties, or missed connections.
