🚤 KAYAK Introduction — Our Editor Helps You Understand This Travel Price Comparison Tool

I'm often asked, "Besides Skyscanner, what other websites do you use to compare prices?"
The answer is KAYAK ! It's also a travel price comparison tool that helps you find not only flights but also hotels, car rentals, and even package tours.

🌍 What is KAYAK?

KAYAK was founded in 2004 in Connecticut, USA, and is one of the competitors of Expedia, Booking.com and others.
It is currently part of Booking Holdings (the same group as Agoda, Booking.com, and Priceline).
It is a search engine-type price comparison platform , which means that KAYAK does not directly sell air tickets or accommodation. Instead, it helps you compare prices and then guides you to the official website of the airline or travel agency to complete the booking.

My thoughts are:
💡 KAYAK's search interface is simple, with very detailed filtering criteria (such as flight time, number of connections, and airline), making it super useful for travelers who are hesitant to hassle !

🌟 KAYAK's key features

1. Flight search and price comparison

   • Supports one-way, round-trip, and multi-city routes.
   • You can sort by "cheapest", "shortest time" and "best choice".

2. Price prediction tools

   • KAYAK will tell you "buy now or wait" based on historical ticket price trends. I love this feature!

3. Travel planning integration

   • In addition to air tickets, you can also search for hotels, car rentals, package tours, cruises , and even "activity experiences" to book.

4. Price alert function

   • Set your target route or accommodation, and you'll be notified by email or via the app if prices change.

5. Multi-platform support

   • There is a Traditional Chinese website and a mobile app, making it convenient to compare prices anytime and anywhere.

💡 Editor's Friendly Reminder

• Different price sources : The results displayed on KAYAK come from different travel agencies or airlines. Before booking, it is recommended to compare prices on the official website to avoid price discrepancies due to handling fees or baggage policies.
• Watch out for hidden fees : Some fares may seem cheap but don't include baggage or taxes, so be aware of the final total at checkout.
• Cancellation policy : Some tickets are sold through third-party travel agencies, and their cancellation and change policies may be strict. Please read them carefully before placing an order.

📝 Editor's Summary

KAYAK is like a travel search engine , especially suitable for travelers who like to "compare prices first and then place an order."
Compared to Skyscanner, KAYAK's filtering tools are more detailed; compared to Agoda and Hotels.com, it focuses more on "fare trends and best times."
I personally always use KAYAK to check ticket prices, then compare prices with Skyscanner before deciding which platform to book my tickets on. This way I can almost guarantee the best deal!
