New tool: Kayak Explore
If anyone has already mentioned this my apologies, I searched to no avail.
Kayak has a new tool out called Explore. Pretty interesting to me, even though it is currently in Beta mode. I like the layout, but what actually impressed me is that after I clicked on the price it showed, over 90% (3 out of about 50 were gone) of the time it was still that price, with an actual flight. http://www.kayak.com/explore/ There is the link. Makes it pretty easy to find 5cpm flights. Happy travels. |
Looks cool. They need to add an airline filter. A 2 cpm flight on an airline I do not care about is useless info for me. In its current form, I have to click to get to see the airline.
|
That's an interesting concept. Choosing a particular month doesn't seem to bring up prices. I would like to be able to search for Biz and FC fares only, too.
|
I like this tool = ) I agree that it needs an airline filter (although i guess the general public doesn't care about that!) but it's a much better interface than the old farecast/Bing "where to go" tool. Also, I'm glad it prefills the dates for that given fare...for a second I was worried it would just not give any details and make you search for it!
|
This would actually be an amazing vacation planning tool if it could also let you select specific dates instead of just a month. Like if I want to go somewhere over Christmas, i could set certain dates and see where in the world I'd want to go at what price.
|
All great points. Anyone know of a Kayak lurker on FT? or was there a feed back button on the page?
|
doesn't show all , I looked for December maxed out at 790$ only. But nonetheless nice to tool once it becomes fully functional
|
Nice find, Wonderbret! I'm having fun playing with this; not sure it will be very useful but it's giving me some ideas for future travel.
|
awesome tool! reminds me a little of bing but I like being able to look worldwide and for certain months. It's already coming in useful for me since I'm trying to figure out a cheap flight to anywhere in Europe before taking a lcc to my final destination.

Makes me think of travelocity's now defunct dreamaps for which I miss.

I have previously emailed them directly through the website, and they've been fairly quick to respond.

Way to go wonderbret. itīs a great new toy
|
Glad to see others enjoy it as well. I just posted a MR JFK-SGN that I found with this. Has anyone received a response from their feedback? I doubt that kayak will ever have a page oriented towards MRers, but since I dislike farecompare this is helping me out quite a bit.
|
At this juncture, I still like the FC map better,
