Horrible! Trying to book flights, I see a good price option. But when I select it, I am transferred to another booking site with an array of completely different options. Tried this several times and... See more

Very easy to use and hassle free interface. Only issue for me was that although it showed me flights for €183, it added €15 onto the cost of the flights because i hadnt properly set up a profile and I ended up spending €198 on the air carrier site. I know this because out of curiosity i searched the same flights again after 'confirming' my profile, and sure enough the air carrier showed the flights for €183. Soured the experience a little for me knowing i got penalised €15.

Great way to find cheap tickets & flights with a short travel time.
Some tickets were more expensive than statet on KAYAK on the page of the flight company (maybe because of luggage?).
Will recommend this site to friends & family.

I downloaded the app

I downloaded the app. Tried to get into it but it kept cutting out & closing down. I find these apps are designed by people who know themselves what they are doing. They don't take in to consideration that there are people of a certain age & generation who are not naturally familiar with the workings of apps & are therefore unfriendly areas to venture into. Whatever happened to the day when you can just ring up & speak to a human being. I am not happy with the app but I am going to give it one more try. Very frustrating & I am a potential customer Kayak may lose. That's my honest opinion on the app. I uninstalled it as it kept cutting out & closing down. I would appreciate someone from Kayak to actually ring me so I can talk it through. Thank you & take care. Declan Carroll.

Hi Declan,

Thanks for using KAYAK and for taking the time to review. I am concerned about what you are reporting.

Can you try closing the KAYAK App from the task manager on the device and try again? That often does the trick. If not, please send us more details, or a screenshot of what you are experiencing via KAYAK.ie/support and we will help you out.

All the best,
Denis

My Kayak sank!…

I joined Kayak in 2016 when I was planning a trip to Rome. I input my requirements and waited for Kayak to let me know when to book. Unfortunately I never heard from Kayak and I had to make my own decision as to when to bookso you can understand why I have no confidence in Kayak.

Hi Macker,

Thanks for reviewing KAYAK!

Those price alerts are what we call "lowest fare alerts". For these alerts, we send you the lowest prices that other KAYAK users have found in the last 48 hours. There is a footnote at the bottom of the email explaining that. If these prices are from a special sale by an airline, there are usually only a few tickets available at that price. Please also note that we send you the price alerts early in the morning, so depending on the time elapsed before you read the email, there is a chance that by the time you read it, the fare may no longer be available.

Bottom line is that by the nature of this search, we can't promise you the price in the alert. Think of it more as a flag that tells you somebody has gotten a good deal on the flight you are interested in, and it probably makes sense for you to check it out again in case you can get a better deal now as well.

I hope that helps, and please let us know if you have any questions about this: KAYAK.ie/support

All the best,
Denis

Best deals and price alerts too!

Saves time checking all websites and gives the best prices for all routes with the option of setting up price alerts to try get cheaper deals, which is great.

Left with no rights/comeback

We booked flights from dublin to California through Kayak. A month before our flight we got an email to say flight had been cancelled, which it hadnt. Both flights were still going, with seats available. It seems a schedule change meant no seats, at the price range we had originally booked at were available, so they wouldnt accommodate us. We spent two weeks on the phone and were left with nearly €200 of phone charges trying to argue to get put onto the new flight.
After hours of calls, many tears and very little help from Kayak or the direct airline customer services we were given seats on the flight. If i had booked directly with the airline i would have been given seats with no issue. As I had booked through a third party site the airline said they could do nothing for me, although they did eventually. Kayak said they could do nothing as a change had been implemented by the airline and there were no seats at our booking rates, 4 months earlier, it technically meant our flight was cancelled - even though there were seats available if we wanted to rebook at three times the cost!
As a result i was left in limbo and will never book through a third party again as you have no right.

Hi Natasha,

Thank your for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. However, KAYAK is a search site, not a travel agency. We do not handle bookings directly. Once you find the booking option that you like, KAYAK gives you choices where to book. You can book with the airline, hotel, car rental company, an online travel agency or via KAYAK through one of our third-party providers.

That said, I do not see any KAYAK bookings for you. Is it possible you've searched on KAYAK but booked elsewhere?

For complaints regarding a negative booking experience please reach out to the online travel agency that is servicing your booking. You can find contact details on your booking confirmation.

All the best,
Denis

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time for a review.

We do our best to forecast how prices might move in the short term, but unfortunately these predictions cannot be 100% accurate - airfares resemble in many ways other commodity prices like gas prices or currencies, for which short-term forecasts are not easy. World events, local events, weather, or even competition among airlines can send the prices up or down unexpectedly.

That said we continuously work to refine and improve our forecasting technologies, but the reality is that forecasts can never be perfect and unfortunately some of the forecasts may fail. However please be assured that overall our forecasts are right more often than not.

If you have more questions about using KAYAK, please do not hesitate to contact us at KAYAK.ie/support

Kind regards,
Denis
