About Kayak
Kayak was formed in 2004. It was designed to combine the traditional search engine, with a traditional travel site. In doing so, Kayak allows customers to price and compare hundreds of airline tickets rates at once.
Airlines
Kayak's search engine features ticket pricing for approximately 400 airlines around the world. In the United States, popular discount airlines such as Southwest and JetBlue that do not show up on many travel sites, are included in Kayak's database.
Mobile Applications
Kayak has introduced free downloadable applications for the iPhone, Blackberry and Android smart phones. These allow customers to compare rates and purchase flights on the go.
Flight Types
Kayak's search engine allows customers to search for round-trip, multi-city, one-way and weekend only flights. Customers can also select flexible travel dates and a preferred non-stop flight option.
Calendar Preview
Kayak's search engine page allows you to preview price differences for an entire calendar month at a time. This data can help you determine what time of the month is the cheapest to fly when you make your travel arrangements.
Critical Acclaim
Kayak has been mentioned at the top of the airline travel booking industry in articles published by the New York Times and USA Today. It has been found to produce the lowest airline ticket rate more frequently than competing travel search engines in independent studies.
