Terms of Service

Every account is approved by hand. Access is a personal courtesy, not an entitlement, and it can be paused or withdrawn at any time, for any reason or none, without notice.

• Your account is yours alone — please don't share your password or let someone else sign in as you.
• Please don't pass along invitations or forward access links without asking first.
• If you think someone else has gotten into your account, say so right away.

This is the most important thing on this page. ASTRA is a planning and comparison tool. It never makes a reservation, never holds a seat or a room, never takes a payment, and never issues a ticket. Nothing you do here commits you to a trip, and nothing here commits an airline or a hotel to you.

Flight and hotel prices shown in ASTRA are indicative estimates retrieved from a third-party travel data provider. They are shown in US dollars, cover economy class only, and go out of date quickly — fares can change within minutes. Treat every number as a rough guide for comparing destinations, never as a quotable price. Always confirm the real cost and availability with the airline or hotel before you rely on it or spend money.

ASTRA's destination profiles — weather, crowd levels, safety notes, costs, neighborhoods, experiences and the rest — are compiled reference data. They are not professional travel, safety, legal, medical, financial, or immigration advice, and they can be incomplete, out of date, or wrong.

Before you actually travel, check current official sources: your government's travel advisories, entry and visa requirements, health guidance, and the destination's own local information. Do not rely on ASTRA for anything that affects your safety or your legal right to enter a country.

Please use ASTRA the way it's meant to be used:

• Plan your own trips. Don't scrape, bulk-download, or automate against the site.
• Don't republish, resell, or redistribute the destination data — a lot of work went into assembling it.
• Don't try to reach other members' accounts, trips, or data.
• Don't attempt to break, overload, or probe the site's security.

ASTRA is provided free, as a personal project, as is and as available, with no warranty of any kind. It may be slow, temporarily broken, or offline. Features may change or disappear. Scores, rankings and prices may be wrong. The whole thing may be discontinued, and your saved trips may be lost, without notice.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Trevor Elrod is not liable for any loss, cost, missed trip, wasted booking, or other damage arising from your use of ASTRA or from anything you relied on here. If you book travel, that decision and its consequences are yours.

There is no service-level commitment, no guaranteed backup of your data, and no support obligation. If something is broken, you're welcome to say so, and it will get looked at when there's time.

The trips, preferences, saved destinations and comparisons you create are yours. Because this is a personally administered site, the owner necessarily has access to the underlying database and can see them — there is no technical separation that would prevent it. Nothing you enter is sold, shared for advertising, or shown to other members.

The site, its design, its scoring method, and the assembled destination knowledge base remain the owner's. Access to ASTRA is not a licence to reuse them elsewhere.

These terms carry a version number, shown below. If they change materially, the version changes with them and you may be asked to accept the new version. Continuing to use ASTRA after a change means you accept it. The version you agreed to was recorded when you requested access.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. Beyond that, this is a private arrangement between people who know each other — there is no governing-law clause here on purpose. If there's a problem, the expectation is simply that we talk about it.

Please also read the Privacy Policy, which explains exactly what ASTRA stores about you and who else sees it.
