links: Kayak

Kayak is one of the most useful international aggregators around.

On its home page you can fill the spaces with your dates, origin and destination to search for a flight. On the results page you will find the airfares the system has found along with links to the airline’s websites or consolidator’s pages where the fares were found.

The option Buzz takes you to a very useful page, where you can define a city or airport and carry out an extensive search, or a search limited to regions of the world, times of the year or cost. This tool uses information gathered from similar searches done on the system by other users of Kayak. For that reason, there is more data on the most popular routes.

You can register for free and do searches with flexible dates. You can also subscribe to Fare Alert and receive notifications every time the fares for a given route fall in price.

Excellent as it may be, we do not advice you to solely rely on this website as your source of information. It is essential you always visit the airlines’ own websites for they often have exclusive promotions Kayak and other consolidators and aggregators have no access too (that is the case, for instance, with Brazilian airline GOL).
