How can we help?

KAYAK compares flight prices of various airline reservation sites and find the lowest price for you. Select the lowest price you want and we will link you to the site so that you can complete your reservation.
Since the actual reservation is connected to the airline or travel agent you have selected, KAYAK is not involved in the reservation and payment, and your reservation information cannot be verified.

Therefore, if you have any inquiries regarding reservation changes or cancellations, please contact the customer service centre of the airline or travel agency where the reservation was made. If you can't remember which reservation site you booked from, please check your payment details. If you look at the payment destination, you can check the reservation destination.

Because we're searching hundreds of other travel sites at once, sometimes there are accuracy issues with the information we're receiving from those sites. Either the site isn't updating their inventory with us, has given the wrong path or another traveller has booked the last available seat.

Because KAYAK is a search engine, not a seller, we don't have a refund policy -- that's handled solely by the provider that booked your trip. Not sure what company to talk to? Check your credit card statement and/or go to Bookings to locate your provider's information.

Everyone likes saving money, right? We figured out that one of the best ways to get a great deal on certain flights was to book two one-way flights instead of a return ticket. So, that's what a Hacker Fare does: it finds two compatible one-way flights to help you save. Just make sure to first confirm that each leg of your trip is available before booking.

All flight prices on KAYAK include applicable taxes and fees. Any exceptions to this are any optional fees like checked baggage or airlines that charge for seat selection, pet accommodations, etc. These types of add-ons will have to be arranged separately with your airline. Want to know what sort of fees an airline might charge? We got you.

Train and bus prices on KAYAK include applicable taxes and fees. Some partners may charge an additional service fee, a fee for additional baggage, or a fee for certain payment methods.

Nope. You'll have to check out our Airline fees page to see if your airline charges extra for checked bags or carry-ons (yes, that's a thing now).

On our site, you can create one by signing in and going directly to Price Alerts in your account or you can look for the "Track Prices" button on the top left-hand side of flight results. If you're searching hotels, select "Set Price Alert" at the top right of the hotel results list. If you're on our app, you can get to Price Alerts using the app's navigation menu and follow instructions there.

Congrats, you've spotted our Price Forecast tool. Using historical data, we're able to make predictions on whether or not the price for certain routes will go up or down within the next 7 days. Then, we suggest whether you should book a flight now or if you should wait and watch what happens to flight prices (setting up a daily Price Alert is helpful in doing so).

Not all flight routes will have sufficient data to show a Price Forecast. Looks like you picked a unique snowflake in the realm of price trends.

When searching for flights on KAYAK, you can select the number of children and infant passengers via the traveller drop-down menu.

If you wish to pay for someone else's flight, you can certainly do so. However, you'll need to make sure when entering the passenger's details that the name you put on the ticket matches the traveller's ID exactly - a simple typo could prevent them from flying. Also, be aware that many airlines charge a substantial change fee to correct any mistakes should any information need to be edited after the ticket has been booked.

We've got you covered. When you're on the KAYAK Flights page, select 'Multi-City' above the search bar before you perform your search. This will allow you to search for a flight with up to 3 different legs.

Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you flights up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. That way, you can see if leaving a day or two earlier will find you a better deal. You can also select the flexible 'weekend' or 'month' search options to widen your search range and find the cheapest price that works for you.

Currently KAYAK can search for a maximum of nine passengers at a time. That said, KAYAK can still help you locate the best itineraries for your group. We suggest you find the flight you wish to purchase by completing a search at www.kayak.com.au and then contacting the airline directly to discuss group trips.

Help is on the way: if you booked your travel on the KAYAK site with one of our providers, then you can go to Bookings and get info on around-the-clock support. If you booked your travel outside of KAYAK or were redirected from our site to a provider's web page to complete your booking, then you'll need to get in contact with the provider directly. Not sure who your provider is? Our partnering travel providers take your data privacy seriously, which is why KAYAK doesn't have access to your booking to make changes or resend confirmation emails.

If you've been charged already, you can find out who you booked with by checking the payee name against any pending or completed charges.

Get in touch with the hotel to find out which travel provider your booking came from.

If you used your computer or mobile web browser to book, you can retrace your steps by checking your browser history to see which travel provider's website you were redirected to after KAYAK.

Star ratings are provided by the hotels themselves as well as online travel agencies that sell hotel rooms. KAYAK takes that information and displays what's most accurate. We understand that some of these providers are more reliable than others and take this into account when displaying the number of stars.

All of our hotel reviews are by verified guests, so you know that what you're reading is legit.

KAYAK is a search engine that compares hire car products offered by each hire car company and finds the lowest price.
When you select the product that is optimised for you, we will link you to the site so that you can complete your reservation. We do not collect or manage reservation information of KAYAK customers.
Therefore, if you need to cancel or change your reservation, you must contact the car hire company or site where the actual reservation was made.

If you are not sure which car hire site you booked on, please check your payment details. If you look at the payment destination, you can confirm the reservation destination. Alternatively, you can check the history record of your internet browser or search for the same conditions again at KAYAK to see which site the reservation was made on.

Cancellation policy is subject to the regulations of each car hire company and may vary depending on the conditions selected at the time of booking. Before cancelling, please check the cancellation policy on the reservation confirmation, and if you have any further questions, it is best to contact the website where the reservation was made.

Did you look in Bookings? If you booked on the KAYAK site with one of our providers, you should be able to find it there. Otherwise, if you were redirected off-site to complete your reservation, you'll need to check with the provider directly. If you can't remember your provider's name, check your credit card statement to see who charged your card.

If you booked with one of our providers on the KAYAK site, go to Bookings for info. However, if you booked off-site or we redirected you to a provider's website from KAYAK to complete your purchase, then you'll need to contact the provider directly.
