About KAYAK

KAYAK is one of the world’s leading travel search engines, founded in 2004 by Steve Hafner and Paul English. Rather than being a booking platform itself, KAYAK operates as a metasearch engine scanning hundreds of travel websites simultaneously to show you all your available options for flights, hotels, car rentals and vacation packages in one place. You compare, then click through to book directly with the provider.

KAYAK is part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), the world’s largest provider of online travel services, which also owns Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda and OpenTable. KAYAK processes billions of travel searches each year and operates in over 60 countries and 20 languages, making it one of the most trusted names in travel planning globally.

In February 2026, Peer Bueller was appointed as KAYAK’s new CEO, taking over from co-founder Steve Hafner who became Executive Chair and moved into a group-level AI innovation role at Booking Holdings.
