The powerful online fare comparison tool Kayak is also available in the form of an iPhone app. The Kayak iPhone app works similar to the Travelocity TravelTools and HotelPal apps except that it gives you many more search options. Kayak does a thorough check of all the deals it can find online for airfare, hotels, car rentals and anything else you’d like to book for your next trip. The app, like the online Kayak, doesn’t cost you anything and is a great tool for any traveler with an iPhone or iPod Touch. Best of all, this app is completely free.
Using the Kayak iPhone app might be a bit confusing at first, especially people who are very familiar with the online version of the fare search engine. You’ll need to enter in several common options (like the number of travelers) after you’ve done the first search. It’s not more difficult to use but may throw you off at first. Like the Travelocity TravelTools and HotelPal iPhone apps, you can make reservations and book directly through Kayak on your iPhone.
One thing we really enjoy about the Kayak iPhone app is the nifty little charts and graphs it displays. You can see whether prices are trending up or down and make a decision to buy now or wait if you think a better deal is around the corner. There’s also other useful information like contact numbers for hotels and airlines as well as the number of layovers, destination airports, and a calendar view of your current or planed itineraries. You can also help improve the Kayak iPhone app by leaving feedback right from your device to the developers.
The Kayak iPhone app is one of the best tools for travelers to find the best places to backpack and we highly recommend it. Keep in mind that it doesn’t cost you anything to try it out!
