    We booked ******** Airline flight through kayak. It was scheduled as a round trip to *** **** from *** *********** for $1,795.60. We completed and arrived to *** When we went to check our flight back to *********, ******** Airlines is telling us Kayak booked it as a one way. Kayak also says they do not take phone calls or have a customer service option. So, we are stuck booking yet another flight. We had to pay for a flight back to ********* costing us another $1,252.56 in expenses due to Kayak’s technology issue. We would like this credit back to us and an apology for not having adequate customer support arranged. Huge inconvenience and definitely scamming customers out of money.

    Kayak doesn’t actually book anything for you but they also don’t tell you that. They switch you over to whatever booking site they want & don’t ever even give you the name. I’ll never use Kayak again. Booking.com is a better option.
