About Kayak

Corporate
Kayak was founded in January 2004 to establish a leadership position in online travel search. Our goal is to help consumers find and navigate the wealth of travel information available on the web. We've launched a "preview release" to demonstrate some of our early technology capabilities, but membership is currently by invitation only. We expect to launch our website to the general public soon. Thank you for your patience!
