Work flexibility 🤝 collaborative spaces. As the world adapts to the increasing demand for remote work, we’re not forgetting the power of collaboration and face-to-face connection. That’s why we brought on the team at Gensler to design our new Berlin office – so that those who want to meet up in person can do so in a space that cultivates creative thinking and flexibility. Plus, who doesn’t love a coffee bar? ☕

“[At KAYAK] We have a very clear consumer benefit. So, the challenge becomes, how weird and funny and extreme can we be to earn the attention of the traveler? - says Matthew Clarke, VP of North American marketing at KAYAK.

✅,✅ annnnnd ✅ We’d say we got weird, funny and extreme with KAYAK's latest commercials -  hitting National TV across US and Canada this week. 

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration that drove this year’s creative in Ad Age and let us know what you think!

Did you know KAYAK has a filter to add and/or exclude specific aircraft models in your travel search?

Following Saturday’s Alaskan Airlines incident, KAYAK saw a 15X increase in 737 Max filter usage on KAYAK (between Saturday and Thursday, starting from a relatively low baseline). As a result, KAYAK increased the prominence of the MAX filter on our site and added the ability to filter specifically by the 737 Max 8 and Max 9 aircraft models.

Kicking off 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ with a bang! KAYAK and our sister brand momondo were ranked the #1 best overall airfare search site for 2024, according to Frommer's!  🎉

Kudos to our passionate team who work tirelessly to provide the best travel search site and help more and more people experience the world through travel! 💪 ✈  🌎

As we get ready to close out 2023, we’re preparing for our annual week off! This company-wide perk was introduced in 2020 as a way for our team to recharge, relax and focus on personal well-being.

And the numbers don’t lie – last year we saw a 90% drop in Slack usage during this break. We’d say that’s a mission accomplished.

When we asked our team how they plan to make the most of this well-deserved time off, here’s what they shared:

Each year, KAYAK and OpenTable employees come together to do good by volunteering across our offices around the globe. 

From litter pick-ups in Seoul, Zurich, Taipei and London to helping local food banks in Miami, Hong Kong, Concord and Stamford, our team is grateful for the opportunity to get out of the office and make a positive, local impact!

KAYAK and our sister brand OpenTable were recently named a winner of Training Magazine's 2024 Training APEX Awards, honoring companies’ excellence in employer-sponsored training and development programs. Shoutout to our Learning and Development team for their dedication in helping our employees continue to grow and succeed! 🎉
