History

Kayak was founded in 2004 by co-founders of Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz with the goal of simplifying online travel searches. The alpha version was programmed on May 5th, 2004. Shortly thereafter, in October 2004, the beta version was completed and in February 2005 the website went online. In December 2007, the company managed to secure an investment of 196 million US dollars and was able to take over the main competitor in the American market, SideStep. The Americas headquarters are in the immediate vicinity of New York, while the technology center is located near Boston.[3]

Since 2008, the service has repeatedly received the viewership prize at the Webby Awards.[4]

In 2012, KAYAK was honored with 3 Webby Awards, including Best Mobile App in the Travel category by users.

In 2009, the American magazine Time included KAYAK among the fifty best sites of the year.[5]
