I’ve written before about how Kayak.com is the ultimate search place for finding cheap flights. I believe it still is, however it turns out I have discovered a flaw. My best friends Nessa and Korban have been anxiously awaying a great deal to travel to South Carolina and visit their family. Today we got an email from (a GREAT website) airfarewatchdog.com. It said that SLC to CLT was 198rt! Amazing considering they have been seeing prices around $400.00 rt! Kayak however couldn’t show us this deal. The links from airfarewatchdog.com said to go to travelocity or cheapair.com (and be flexible with your dates of course). I noticed that these 2 sites were actually finding flights using 3 different carriers combined. The flight I booked for them was 3 parts United and with 2 parts USAirways and 1 part United Express/Skywest Airlines. Apparently this is just too complex for kayak. And that’s why I wanted to be honest and let you know, today Kayak == FAIL!
