Travel Tips: Cheap Flights, Cars, Hotels

Posted by: Danny Dang In: Blogathon| Travel

With Summer Vacation season in full tilt many of us are getting out of the city, visiting family, going to weddings, etc. Have you thought going from site to site checking prices on flights is tedious? I sure do!

Introducing Kayak.com
Kayak is the Google equivalent in travel search engines and was started by founders of Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia who believed in a better online travel experience. Kayak is not here to try to sell you something, it goes out and finds all the best possible rates available from hotels, flights, cars and cruises.

YVR to San Francisco

Another great feature is the Trend Chart. This gives you a better picture on how prices are if you were flexible on your dates. For example, if you know you want to go to San Francisco for the WordCamp, Sunday August 10-14 would be cheaper.

Kayak makes money from the Google Ads you see around the sites and click through from the results. They do not monetize the results so companies can not “Pay” to land on the top spot.

Where are you going this summer? Do you have any other travel tips?
