Principles we follow
- Official first. Wherever an official seller or appointed hospitality provider exists, that is the route we recommend.
- No invented figures. Prices and dates change every season, so we describe how things work and defer to official sources for specifics.
- Read before you buy. The inclusions, the terms and the dress code reward careful reading every time.
- Value over hype. A premium label is not the same as good value; we help you judge the difference.
