Not able to make reservation on advertise rate I have called several times and sent emails. No one response to my problem. The advertise rate is just a common when you go on the website you find out that they dont have what they advertised and they give you a much higher rate. Its disgusting and no one called you back to help you. ive called several times about the advertise hotel rate and each time they tell me they will contact you back and nobody ever called you back its not right they get away with false advertising all the time do not book on the website

Great search engine for flight. But backend is not reliable (booking, access to live agent, refund etc)

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Booked a flight through Kayak. Was not clear that was going another agency (underpriced). They missed adding checked bags on one of the legs for my flights. It got lost in translation through underpriced but wouldnt own up to it. In the middle of the booking, airfare went up. So didnt cover their advertised rate. When I called, couldnt get a live agent. The only way they let you speak to one of you have the phone number you reserved with and no other option. Had to do the work via live chat, and could help, all this happen the day before my flight.

Flight was cancelled and I was stuck in Europe!

Flight BA 269 seats 27D & 27 E on Dec 13 2023, was canceled due to problems with the jet. At that time I was a bit panicked cause my funds were very low and British Airways informed me they could not put us(it was my boyfriend and I) on a new flight cause we booked through a third party and I needed to call Iberia. I called Ibiera Airlines and was told they could do nothing about it cause in their system it showed it was in the air. Called Kayak just to be told the same thing, that in their system it showed the flight was in the air. Checked in two hours later with both Iberia and Kayak to be told the same thing as before, in the system it was in the air so your agency and Ibeara could not get me on a new flight since it was showing it had NOT been canceled in both systems. At this point, I had to purchase two new tickets to ensure my spouse made it home ASAP since he was already going to miss a day of work due to the delay. The system not knowing our flight was canceled seemed to be the problem and I was not emailed until 15 hours after the cancellation by KAYAK at which point I had already had a friend buy new tickets for me at the very same cost as the original tickets. I would like to speak with someone from KAYAK about a refund! This was a huge inconvenience and if it was not for my friend I would still be stuck in London! Please call +1-80*-***-**** or email me back at kapila808@***.com

Scams through Kayak.com

Kayak needs to stop doing business with HOLIDAYCARS.COM. Take the time and read all of the google reviews which clearly indicate an ongoing scam. Stop promoting shady businesses. I will not be using kayak again.

Can't get hold of live agent to resolve a reservation problem

Looked for flights with both carry-on and checked bags only. I proceeded with booking this reservation. in the middle of the booking, they changed the advertised rate to few $100 more stating flight prices went up. I still proceed with it. When i received my confirmation, one leg had checked bags but the other didn't. Tried to resolve this via chat they kept telling me that reservation was done that way. When I did kayak search, I only looked for flight with both carry-on and checked bags. made sure to select both flights with that checked. It looks like they split my reservation into 2 and I believe it got lost in translation. I don't seem to get a hold of a life agent to fix this.

Kayak failed to issue my connection confirmation flights. Therefore, we missed our flight since they needed a return flight. I purchased another ticket $2000.00 cost me kayak unprofessionalism.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Kayak failed to send me our connecting flight connection When I paid for our flights, both itineraries showed our connecting flights. When I try to check in online I could only find one flight. Kayak did not send my completed itinerary. My connecting flight was missing. After many hours trying to get a human to assist me. I was told to contact the connecting airline customer service, but the booking references did not matched, since the connection was to be with a different airline. The connecting airline could not find my booking and I had no booking number. I missed my flight. This whole ordeal cost me$2000.00 extra.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The problem was the ticket was through American on Alaska airlines, so when it said to download the AA app I couldn’t find my ticket. I finally read an email about Alaska air and the ticket after going to the airport and having AA tell me it was at Alaska airlines at the other end of the airport.
