Is Kayak down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Kayak right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Kayak continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are search not working, website / app down, no response / timing out, checkout or payment, slow or laggy, can't connect, 5xx error pages and can't log in. Those are the options the report button offers for Kayak, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Kayak specifically, Kayak aggregates data from many independent suppliers in real time, so a single provider's outage, API rate limiting, or network path failure can break searches for that supplier's inventory while Kayak's own infrastructure appears healthy. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Kayak, try searching for a common route on kayak.com in an incognito window, then check whether individual supplier sites (like airline or hotel websites) load directly and show current prices. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Kayak's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly submit the same search query, as this can trigger rate limits on Kayak's aggregation system and delay recovery for all users. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Kayak does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe kayak.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Kayak says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Kayak or kayak.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Kayak's own support, not us.
