When I got my first smartphone in
2012, I was super interested in travel and figured that installing some travel
apps would help me learn more about the industry. After talking to some friends and reading
about travel apps online, I came across this app called Kayak. I had no idea what it did but figured I
would give it a try since I had some free time.
After installing the app, I was hooked! The features on the app were
amazing and I couldn’t get over how much easier it was to find hotel rooms and
flights by simply picking up my phone! So you might be wondering: what’s so cool
about this app and how can it benefit me? Here are 5 reasons why the Kayak app
is helpful for those who are looking to plan their next excursion:
1.
Worried about spending too much on your next
flight or hotel? Kayak allows you to compare the prices on multiple travel
sites so you can get the lowest rate. Compare Priceline, Expedia, Orbitz, and
CheapTickets.com on the app! Another great feature of the app is that you are
able to compare several travel sites without multiple windows popping up! Being able to compare prices is one of my
favorite features since one of my favorite hobbies is bargain shopping!
2. Want to keep tabs on the price of a flight but
worried about forgetting? No worries! Kayak lets you set a price alert for
flights and hotels to ensure you get the best price. The app even lets you pick how often you want
to be notified of a change in price.
Choose between weekly or daily. I
set up a price alert when I was looking for a hotel room for a trip I was going
on in the summer. Kayak notified me when
the price changed so I was able to snag the cheapest rate!
3.
I feel like I keep talking about how Kayak helps
you save money! The Buzz section of the app allows you to see which days your
flight is the cheapest during a month.
This is perfect for anyone with flexible travel dates! All I had to do
in order to view this was to put in airport information and the month I was
looking to travel during. Buzz allows
you to see exactly which airline and travel days are the cheapest.
4.
Looking for help while you are away? Kayak
allows its users to look up airline information or call an airline. If you need to get a hold of your airline
while you are traveling, the airline info section of the app is perfect for
you!
5.
Stranded in an airport with nothing to do? The
Kayak app houses an airport information section which allows you to pinpoint
the exact location of restaurants and gift shops! If you are out of the country, the app also allows
you to see exchange rates.
The Kayak app houses tons of
features which can assist those who are looking to plan a vacation and those
who are already on a trip! Be sure to check out all that the Kayak app has to
offer! The app is available for both iPhone and Android!
