Frequently asked questions about KAYAK

How do i find travel deals on kayak.

Simply use one of our travel search engines to scan for prices gathered from hundreds of travel sites. KAYAK’s search results pages have loads of filter options to help you find deals, discover exactly what you’re looking for and make booking seamless. Plus, there’s no extra fee from KAYAK.

What makes KAYAK a great travel app?

On the KAYAK app for iOS and Android you’ll find all the great travel offers found on the website and much more. There are special mobile rates and app only deals that allow you to save even more money. Plus, you can get notifications straight to your phone letting you know when prices for your next trip have dropped. But the KAYAK app is much more than just a travel app. Use the Trips function to manage your travel itinerary and get up to date status alerts on flights, check-in changes and to store your boarding pass. Even if you’re in the middle of nowhere on your travels, you can still access your travel notes via Trips, as no internet connection is required.

How can I use KAYAK to manage my travel bookings?

KAYAK Trips creates a travel itinerary for you that will give you flight status alerts, can be shared with friends and more. Simply forward your booking confirmations to [email protected] or use the KAYAK app and sync your email account to keep all your travel plans organized in one app, even if you didn’t book with KAYAK. You can share your holiday plans with friends and family and also check out your travel stats for past vacations, like how far you’ve traveled, your most popular cities and how many times you’ve traveled around the world. Even if you don’t have signal, don’t worry, as you can access Trips to check out your itineraries whilst on the road. Your data is safe and secure with us and you won’t have to re-enter credit card info when booking future trips. If you want to make changes or cancel bookings, then you should contact the travel provider, which is provided on the booking confirmation.

What are KAYAK Price Alerts?

Instead of manually checking back in on the price of your next flight or stay, let KAYAK do the hard work for you with KAYAK Price Alerts.

Best Online Travel Agencies

Booking.com is our top choice for making your trip arrangements

Ligaya Malones is an editor, blogger, and freelance writer specializing in food and travel. Ligaya's work has appeared in publications including Lonely Planet and BRIDES.

Planning a trip can be easier through an online travel agency than if you handle each aspect of the planning separately. You can book hotels, air travel, rental cars, and more through a single site, and booking everything together sometimes results in discounts. By inputting a destination, a range of dates, and other preferences, you will see a list of options for each aspect of travel.

The best online travel agencies offer options from the largest number of airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and more. Look for sites that offer discounts for combining reservations for different aspects of your trip. For example, the best sites will have lower rates if you book both plane tickets and a hotel through their services. The best sites also provide reviews from customers who actually have booked through the service. These are our top picks.

Final Verdict

Frequently asked questions, methodology, best overall : booking.com.

 Booking.com

This industry leader offers one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms on the Internet.

Lots of options to choose from

Interface is easy to use

Numerous filters to customize your search

Tricky to tell whether changes/cancellations can be made with Booking.com or the vendor directly

Booking.com was founded in 1996 and has grown into an industry leader that stands out for being one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms out there. From one website, you can compare and book accommodations, flights (including one-way and multi-city flights), sightseeing activities, and even airport taxis. The website lists more than 28 million accommodation options, from hotels, hostels, and B&Bs to vacation homes and luxury resorts—you can browse more choices per destination on Booking.com than other online travel agencies. The website also performs well on cost and typically returns lower-than-average prices for flights and hotels. 

Booking.com's interface is also easy to use. On the home page, search for a hotel by entering your chosen destination and dates. Then, use the extensive list of filters—such as price range and distance from the city center—to narrow the results down and find the best fit. You can also search for a specific hotel, or seek inspiration by clicking through options grouped by destination or property type or by topic such as the country’s best Michelin-starred hotel restaurants or the top cities for vegan travelers. The flights, car rental, and other tabs are just as intuitive. 

Best Budget : Skyscanner

 Skyscanner

You can compare prices across airlines, hotels, and car rentals.

Simple interface

Option to toggle searches between specific dates or by monthly calendars

Search Everywhere button is great for spontaneous planners

Extra clicks are required to make a final purchase

Must read fine print for changes/cancellations—may need to deal directly with the vendor

Ads on the sidebar can be distracting

Find deals on airfare, hotels, and car rentals with an aggregator site like Skyscanner , which uses a metasearch engine to compare prices from all online travel agencies and the airline, hotel, or car rental company in question. Run searches with fixed dates, opt to compare airfare prices month to month, or click “Cheapest Month.” Searches also include options for nearby airports or non-stop flights only. With hotel searches, you can choose to select only from properties with free cancellation, a cleanliness rating of 4.5/5 or higher, or 3- or 4-starred hotels only. Car rental searches include an option to select “return car to different location.”

Once you’ve found the best rate, click on the link to be redirected to the third-party site to make your booking. Feeling spontaneous? The Search Everywhere button on the homepage offers a list of the cheapest flight deals for destinations both locally and across the world—just plug in your departure airport first.

Best Price Predictor : Hopper

The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting when flights and hotel rates will be cheapest.

Color-coded system makes it easy to determine cheapest days to buy

App is easy to use

Option to track flights and receive alerts when the best time to buy arises

Some have mentioned the app functions better as a research tool than a booking tool

Unclear whether Hopper will price match if you find a cheaper flight elsewhere

Hopper is a travel app available on iOS and Android that aims to help travelers save on airfare by usng historical data and their own algorithm to predict when flights will be cheapest. Just type in where and when you’d like to fly and Hopper will present you with a color-coded pricing calendar indicating how much tickets are likely to cost. (Green is the least expensive, then yellow, orange, and red for most expensive.) Hopper will also recommend you either buy now or wait, or you can choose to watch a trip and receive notifications on the best time to buy. In addition, the app has expanded to offer hotel and car rental price predictions, too.

Some newer features since the app’s inception in 2009 include an option to freeze a price for a limited time—for an extra fee—as well as exclusive app-only discounts. Hopper is free to download, and you can choose to book directly through the app, though some users mentioned they use Hopper as more of a research tool before booking directly with the airline or hotel. The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting flight rates up to a year ahead.

Most Innovative : Kiwi.com

This metasearch engine scours the web to piece together the ideal itinerary using planes, trains, buses, and more.

Creative itineraries get you where you need to go, especially if you’ve got a multi-stop trip

Kiwi Guarantee offers rebooking or cancellation protections

Nomad option appeals to travelers with a lot of flexibility

Creative itineraries mean you may not fly out of the same airport you flew into

Kiwi Guarantee has an additional fee

Charges all-in-one fee for booking flights, trains, buses (though you can always purchase a la carte)

Travelers planning multi-city destinations and seeking a bargain, as well as those looking to take planes, trains, and automobiles to get there, might consider Kiwi . Kiwi is a metasearch engine that scours and pieces together itineraries from various airlines (even if they don’t have a codeshare agreement), considers multiple airports (even if your arrival airport is different from departure), and offers booking options, whether you’re looking at very specific dates or more general ones (up to 60 nights).

Some will find the ability to make multiple bookings for a particular trip more convenient than going at it manually several different times, though note that you must opt into the Kiwi Guarantee program to access rebooking and refund protections should your reservation change or be canceled. Kiwi’s Nomad option allows you to plug in a bunch of destinations you’d like to visit and the length of your intended stay, and the website will churn out the most affordable itineraries for review.

Best for Eco-Conscious : Kind Traveler

A give-and-get business model means booking accommodations with exclusive perks, a donation to environmental organizations, and more.

All participating hotels include a local give-back component

Exclusive savings and perks

Participating hotels are located in some of the most beautiful places in the world

Inventory is much smaller compared to other booking platforms

Some of the amenities mentioned are based on availability only

In 2022, Kind Traveler (an online trave agency focused on hotel bookings) announced an increase in environmentally and socially conscious hotels, charity donations, voluntourism opportunities, and additional perks like waived resort fees or a welcome amenity.

Unlock exclusive hotel rates and perks from participating Kind Traveler hotels with a minimum $10/night minimum donation to a local charity. For example, stay at the Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives and receive up to $33 off the nightly rate and perks such as a food and beverage credit and an Earth Lab or Alchemy Bar workshop when you make a donation to Manta Trust. The organization funds coastal research to protect the island nation’s large yet fragile population of reef mantas.

Select from more than 140 participating hotels from the Hawaiian Islands to Bozeman, Montana, and the Maldives. Charities include wildlife, human rights, arts, education, and environmental preservation organizations.

Best for Social Impact : I Like Local

Choose from a host of travel experiences with the peace of mind that 100 percent of the cost goes directly to local partners.

Social impact mission woven into organization’s business model

Immersive experiences led by local guides

Range of experiences offered

May not be best fit for those seeking upscale, luxury experiences and stays

Can’t sort experiences by a list of countries (though an interactive map is available)

No experiences outside of Africa and Asia

For an online travel agency with a booking platform designed to route dollars spent directly to the communities travelers intend to visit, consider I Like Local . Visit the website to browse a host of travel experiences in countries including Indonesia, Kenya, and Cambodia. Experiences include homestays and farmstays as well as wellness and culturally oriented experiences—from cooking and cycling tours to weaving classes.

To search for an experience, select from drop-down items like travel dates and experience categories, or view a global map and click on a country to view experiences that way.

The platform got its start in 2014 and has grown to 4,000 local hosts across nearly 20 countries. As a social impact organization, 100 percent of each booking fee goes to local hosts. To date, 16,000 travelers have booked with I Like Local.

Best for Design-Forward Homestays : Plum Guide

Browse and book seriously vetted, design-forward vacation homes.

Highly curated inventory of vacation rentals across the world

Design-forward

Thorough vetting process

Does not publish guest reviews

Other platforms have homes available across more destinations

When it comes to booking a vacation home, serviced apartment, or condo, travelers are spoiled for choice. Plum Guide is an online travel agency that specializes in accommodations—though not just any home makes its directory. The company claims that each potential home listed on its site must jump through 150 hoops to be included, from internet speed and mattress and pillow quality to the showers’ water pressure and the home’s proximity to dining, shopping, and attractions.

Search by a featured collection on the website such as “ pet-friendly homes ” or “one-of-a-kind homes in Palm Springs.” Scroll to the bottom of its homepage to view its top destinations, as well as a list of all destinations where Plum Guide homes are available, including Barbados, Mexico, Portugal, Switzerland, the U.S., and Turkey. Note: From the top right-hand corner of the site, use the dropdown menu to select currency of choice.

As long as you know what you value most out of your travel experience—such as affordability, social impact, or luxe accommodations—there’s an online travel agency to help plan your next trip. Be sure to read the fine print, as some agencies are third-party websites and not direct vendors. If you're not sure where to start, Booking.com is your best bet for a smooth user experience and hard-to-beat offers on flights, hotels, and other travel arrangements.

What Is the Biggest Travel Agency?

Our choice for best overall, Booking.com, is known as an industry leader with listings for all major hotels, airlines, car rental companies, and more. It boasts more choices for accommodations per destination than any other site, and we found its interface to be user-friendly.

Are Online Travel Agencies Worth It?

This depends on your needs and priorities. The best online travel agencies certainly can save time by booking everything all at once. However, if you're someone who is good at haggling and enjoys the details of planning a trip, you might be able to find better deals by reaching out to hotels or other destinations and speaking to someone personally.

Is It Cheaper to Book Online Than With a Travel Agent?

Not always. A travel agent you know and trust should have the experience and connections to find deals that can match or surpass what you'll find online. Additionally, if something goes wrong, travel agents provide you with an actual person you can use as an advocate to correct the problem . But if you don't have access to a good travel agent, online sites still provide plenty of ways to streamline planning and save money .

We considered dozens of online travel agencies and narrowed down the options based on user experience, volume and quality of inventory, unique offerings and specials, and customer reviews. We also assessed travel companies’ environmentally and socially conscious policies.

Beach Vacation

Thank you so much for all the help you gave us in picking the perfect resort for our family vacation! The flights went perfectly and everyone caught their shuttle from the airport to the resort. We loved our rooms—ocean view was amazing! The beach was perfect and we did spend hours walking the beach and playing beach volleyball! The resort had amazing things for the kids to do and our little ones spent one day in the Explorer Club which they loved—as much as their mother! There were many beautiful pools to choose from and service by the pool was amazing as well! The kids loved the ice cream place and had fun ordering "drinks" from the swim up bar. Water slides delighted the kids and also Grandma!! All in all it was a perfect place for us to spend some quality time together! - Sheila F

European River Cruise

Eva has planned two European vacations for us. The first was an AMAWaterways River Cruise in France followed by 12 days of independent travel in Spain. Eva’s recommendation of AMA for the river cruise was perfect. Beautiful ship, interesting excursions, wonderful food all provided by a great crew! The trip to Spain included an apartment in Barcelona, hotel reservations in Madrid, Grenada and Seville, private tour guides and drivers, transfers, train tickets and more. Every detail was well planned and there were no problems or surprises. We just returned from our second AMA cruise from Amsterdam through Germany, a small corner of France and into Switzerland. We spent additional days before the cruise in Amsterdam and afterwards in Lucerne and Zurich. Again every detail was well planned and our trip was wonderful. We highly recommend Eva Drafta if you want a well planned, perfect vacation!

Disney Vacation

I just wanted to take a second and thank you for going above and beyond in helping us book our Disney vacation. We have never taken a vacation of this magnitude before and you put our fears at ease and helped us every step of the way. From making sure we had passes to meals and how to pay, you were very professional and extremely helpful. I have been recommending Menno Travel to everyone I meet. We definitely will be going through Menno Travel again for our vacation needs.

Cash-strapped RTÉ to pay travel agency €840,000 to book corporate flights and hotels

Exclusive: The money will be paid to an agent for making arrangements and bookings, but does not cover the actual cost of flights, accommodation and other transport

• 05:00, 14 SEP 2024
• Updated 08:15, 14 SEP 2024

Cash-strapped RTÉ is set to spend up to €840,000 on travel agency services to arrange flights, accommodation and other transport requirements for staff and executives at the national broadcaster.

The money will be paid to a travel agent for arranging and booking transport and accommodation, and does not include the actual cost of flights, hotels, and other related services.

The broadcaster is currently seeking tenders for a contract to provide corporate travel services. It expects to spend €840,000 plus VAT under the contract over the next four years. Its current service provider is Club Travel.

READ MORE: Cash-strapped RTE to spend nearly €2 million on 'Internet-based audience reaction panel'

The corporate travel services will predominantly involve international journeys, according to the tender documents, and prospective contractors have been asked to outline how they would manage two examples of possible trips.

One of these involves a single passenger travelling to Paris with one bag on July 1 and returning the next day. In this scenario, they want an aisle seat, and also require accommodation in a four-star hotel near Trocadero.

The other example involves a passenger travelling to Chennai, India for a week with one check-in bag or camera equipment. They also require four-star accommodation in a hotel in Kanchipurum.

A spokesman for RTÉ told the Irish Mirror that most corporate travel relates to the broadcaster’s coverage of news and sporting events overseas.

“RTÉ has a range of travel requirements relating to the delivery of public service programming and content to audiences, as well as other essential travel from time to time,” he said.

“Essential travel – flights , ferries, trains and buses, as well as accommodation, primarily outside of Ireland – predominantly relates to RTÉ’s delivery of coverage of important news events and sporting events, plus other corporate travel requirements where necessary and consistent with RTÉ’s Travel Policy.”

The spokesman added that RTÉ is contractually obliged to deliver certain coverage of news and sporting events.

The successful company will be responsible for “facilitating the booking of travel and accommodation”, and bidders are required to describe to the national broadcaster how they will ensure value for money for RTÉ.

They will also be required to give a “live demonstration” of the end-to-end process involved with their booking system. The contract is expected to be awarded to the successful company in November.

RTÉ’s unpublished annual report for 2023 shows that the broadcaster had a deficit of €9.1 million for last year, which its chairman Terence O’Rourke described as a “difficult and damaging” period for the national broadcaster. The report notes that licence fee income received by RTÉ last year was down €17.3 million on 2022.

Earlier this year, the broadcaster received a €20 million bailout from the Government in the wake of the secret payments controversy. It was also announced that it would get €725 million in public funding over the next three years.

There are two large regions called Altai: the Altai Republic with the administrative center in Gorno-Altaysk and the Altai Krai with its capital Barnaul. The most famous attractions are in the Altai Mountains, but you can also spend some great days in Altai Krai. Here I am telling you where to go in the Altai Krai to have a great time.

Visit Belokurikha - to walk along a terrenkur

Visit Altayskoye - to learn all about Altai herbs

Visit Basargino and experience life in a modern village

Basargino looks like it was created in some kind of computer simulation game. And there, on a little piece of land you need to arrange cozy wooden comfortable houses, a farm, a church, a cafe and a restaurant with insanely delicious meals, an apiary, lakes with fish, a chicken coop and pastures. You also should have cows, pigs, goats and sheep. And also wolves and yaks to make the visitors even more delighted.

Visit the forge in Belokurikha and forge a horseshoe for good luck 

There is not a feminine equivalent for a blacksmith, therefore I will simply introduce Anna Biletskaya as the blacksmith. Anna, armed with a heavy hammer and an anvil, is able to forge a horseshoe for a horse in 15 minutes and a decorative horseshoe for luck in only 10 minutes. Well the last one is more in demand lately. Anna opened her smithy to visitors a few years ago. This blacksmith in a skirt shows the whole process during her short master classes: first heat a piece of metal over a fire, then take a hammer and beat it well on the anvil, pull it back, then bend it and put it back into the fire. Finally, cool and clean it.

Visit "The Gold of Altai"(Zoloto Altaya) - to bath in Sanduny or to ride a horse

A hot bath filled with herbs such as hypericum, yarrow, camomile and also a rejuvenating bathtub -  these are the Russian answer to the best Asian spa with plumeria flowers. Well, the Altai version looks more brutal, but you will quickly feel the great effect. The herbs are collected and specially prepared here, in "The Gold of Altai" eco-hotel on the shore of the lake. Bathhouses are warmed up in both old Russian traditional ways: the "black" banya (a smoke goes out of bathhouse through cracks in wooden walls) and the "white" banya (a smoke goes out of the bathhouse through a pipe). The professional bath attendants will help guests adjust the right amount of steam and smack them briskly all over their bodies with special bath brooms. The largest horse farm in this district is also located in the hotel area; you should not miss the chance to ride a horse at least around the local territory.

What else to do in Altai:

• Take a walk through the pine forest near Barnaul
• Stop by the village of Srostki, where Vasily Shukshin (the soviet movie director) was born
• Spend a day at the "Biruzovaya Katun" Resort
• Take a walk along Biysk and visit the museum of the Chuysky Tract
• Relax in the "Altay Palace", check-in to the only official gaming zone in Siberia
• Go to Lake Aya

Tsa proposes regulation for phased real id agency enforcement next year.

The Transportation Security Administration ( TSA ) on Thursday proposed a significant delay in enforcing REAL ID requirements for domestic air travel. The Biden administration has suggested postponing full implementation until May 2027, allowing American travelers to continue flying with non-compliant IDs while gradually raising awareness of the upcoming mandate.

TSA encourages people to upgrade driver's licenses

In a proposed federal regulation, the TSA described a "phased enforcement" plan that would include notifying travelers with non-compliant IDs and encouraging them to upgrade their driver's licenses. The approach seeks to raise public awareness and acceptance of REAL ID while avoiding immediate problems at airports.

TSA Administrator David Pekoske emphasized that the new rule would help federal agencies and travelers adapt to the new regulations.

"TSA is engaging with the public, licensing jurisdictions, and states to facilitate a smooth transition to REAL ID enforcement beginning May 7, 2025," Pekoske said in a press release. "REAL ID provides an important security enhancement, and this rule allows us to plan for a range of scenarios to help minimize the potential impact to travelers, industry stakeholders, and states during implementation."

Nowhere near enough Americans have a REAL ID

While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the federal agency that oversees TSA, believes this approach will be more effective than further extensions, it is a surprise given the impending May 2025 deadline. With just over six months to go, many Americans still lack a REAL ID-compliant driver's license. As of January 2024, DHS data shows that only approximately 56% of national driver's licenses or ID cards are REAL ID-compliant. In 34 states, less than 60% of driver's licenses or ID cards are REAL ID-compliant; in 22 states, less than 40% are REAL ID-compliant as of January 2024.

Enforcing the requirements immediately could significantly impact US airlines and airports. This push to delay full implementation is not yet official, as it is a proposed federal rulemaking that might take months or even years to become law. Without the deferral, US agencies would face significant operational interruption, poor public impact, and potential security concerns.

Which Forms Of ID Can You Use To Fly?

Many forms of ID are acceptable for domestic flights, but starting May 7, 2025, all will need to be REAL ID-compliant.

Why and how it works

The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, enhances national security in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The legislation establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards, which are required for domestic air travel, access to certain federal buildings, and entry into nuclear facilities.

However, the enforcement has been pushed back repeatedly. Congress set federal criteria for issuing identity cards in 2005, but enforcement has been delayed multiple times. In the years afterward, DHS has repeatedly delayed the deadline while state governments attempted to bring their identity systems into compliance with the law's provisions. The most recent postponement pushed the date to May 2025, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which slowed down many Americans' ability to get compliant IDs.

Some states charge an extra fee for REAL ID. For example, Virginia charges a one-time $10 fee to get a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or ID card in addition to the standard fees. In New Jersey , a standard driver's license costs $24, while a REAL ID costs $35. In some states, the REAL ID fee is waived.

Additional verification steps are required when applying for or renewing a driver's license, and it is marked with a gold star. Once fully implemented, every traveler 18 and older will need a REAL ID or an alternative form of identification.
