About KAYAK
KAYAK is a comprehensive metasearch engine covering flights, hotels and car hire. For flights it offers a price-forecast (advising whether to buy now or wait), a clear summary of baggage fees, and clever features like Explore (where can I go on my budget?) and Hacker Fares (combining two one-way tickets to save). It compares many sources and redirects you to book with the airline or agent.
