KAYAK

Today we launched a new suite of AI-powered products that help make travel planning decisions faster, easier and more intuitive. The star of this show is our new patent-pending price comparison tool, KAYAK PriceCheck, that lets travelers vet a flight deal from any site by simply uploading a screenshot to our app. We’re also launching Ask KAYAK, which allows travelers to personalize their travel planning by asking KAYAK (almost) anything related to their trip, whether they’re just pondering new destinations or want to fine tune their search results to find the right hotel. Major shout out to all of our product, engineering and design teammates involved in today’s launch. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ePfT84pH

We are excited to announce the launch of KAYAK’s WTF - What the Future - report giving travelers a first look at the hottest trends that will dominate travel in the next 5 years. Think multi-city adventures replacing single stop trips, low-intensity escapes redefining how we avoid the crowds and vacationing for longevity instead of a quick fix. Loyalty programs will take a back seat as price-conscious travelers seek better deals. We look forward to seeing how these travel trends will shape the way we explore the world.
