Our verdict
Airalo pays Up to 10% per sale to travel publishers with an international readership, and it suits sites that can place its offers alongside existing trip planning. Its Impact network and global reach keep setup simple, but recurring commission is no, so every payment depends on a fresh sale.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Commission of Up to 10% per sale applies to each sale, paid on a cps model.
- The programme runs on Impact, so publishers already working in affiliate networks have little new to learn.
- Coverage is global, so a single link can reach readers in many markets.
- Payouts go out by bank transfer and PayPal.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a reader who buys once pays you once and nothing further.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so urgent payment questions queue behind chat.
- Airalo's Up to 10% per sale is a thinner cut than Divebooker Distribution Partner's 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
Who it suits
- Travel blogs and destination guides where the brand's offers sit naturally beside itinerary advice.
- Sites with readers in several markets, since coverage is global.
- Publishers already running offers through Impact who want a low setup route into a new vertical.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers after a bigger cut per booking, since Divebooker Distribution Partner pays 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- Cashback audiences better served by Cashkaro, which pays 10% of friend's cashback.
Commission and cookie
Airalo runs on a cps model and lists commission of Up to 10% per sale. Recurring commission is no, so a reader who buys once brings a single payment and nothing at renewal. That makes volume of fresh sales the only lever, and a per sale rate easier to read than a share of booking value, so a publisher's reach matters more than the rate on paper.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Airalo pay per sale?+
Airalo publishes commission of Up to 10% per sale, paid on a cps model. A payout follows a completed sale rather than a lead or a signup, so earnings rise with the number of sales your referral pages produce.
Does Airalo pay on repeat orders?+
Recurring commission is no. Airalo pays Up to 10% per sale on a sale, and a reader who comes back for a second purchase is not a recurring payment. For publishers used to a monthly line of income, that matters more than the headline rate.
Which network runs the programme?+
The programme runs on Impact, so applications, tracking and reporting sit inside a network publishers already know. A team already running offers through Impact is adding pages for a new vertical rather than building tracking from scratch.
Does Airalo pay for referrals as well as links?+
Two routes are open, a direct link scheme and a referral scheme, direct and referral. The referral side pays a flat €3 instead of a share of a sale, so the two structures pay in different ways. Choose the one that matches how you promote.
Which markets does the programme cover?+
Coverage is global, so the programme is not tied to a single market and readers in different markets can be sent to the same offer pages. The brand keeps to travel, which keeps the pitch narrow.
How are payouts made?+
Payouts are made by bank transfer and PayPal. Bank transfer and PayPal cover the two setups most publishers already run, so an existing account can be reused. Choose the route you can receive without setting up something new.
How do publishers get help?+
Support runs on chat and help centre. Help comes as a help centre article or a chat conversation, and there is no phone line among those channels, which matters when a payment has not landed. Keep your Impact transaction details ready before you start a chat.
How does it compare with a revenue share travel partner?+
Divebooker Distribution Partner lists 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking, a different shape of deal from Airalo's Up to 10% per sale on a cps basis. A share of booking value can beat a per sale rate on small orders, so weigh what your readers buy, not just the percentage.
