Kayak is a travel search engine started by Orbitz, Travelocity, and Expedia to improve the search experience of folks planning a trip by air. You can also locate a hotel and rent a car through Kayak. You don't actually buy anything on Kayak; Kayak provides links to the vendors, whether it is an airline or a company like Orbitz.
Kayak has many great features. The user is able to modify a search for an airline trip in the following ways:
- number of stops
- by specific airline
- by take off and landing times for both the outgoing and return flights (Useful!!)
- whether you need the same airport for leaving and returning
- layover duration
- trip duration (another great feature, especially when the flight crosses multiple time zones)
All the ways you can modify an airlines search make Kayak an immensely-useful website. I wish I had been aware of it last Thanksgiving when I was trying to find flight for my son who lives in San Diego and who needed to travel withing tight time parameters.
