Web 2.0 Award for Travel to Kayak.com
I decided to check out Kayak as I'm going on a trip to Cali in January. I like some of the features of Kayak but one big thing that was missing for the flight sections was having connecting flight information listed. Only the prices, airline and times were listed for immediate view on Kayak. I like to know where I am going to be connecting through as I have favorite airports for my connecting flights, and although you could click on the "details" link to get this info in Kayak, to have to do it for each entry would be far more time consuming than it would be worth. Instead I went back to a tried and true site, like Orbitz which listed the same flights and prices, but I could quickly eyeball the connections for each flight to discard the airports I wanted to avoid. I have a feeling my bias might simply be my familiarity with other travel sites, and I will use Kayak more in the future to learn more about all its features as there were some fun aspects about it I liked.

Hi Eve - glad to see you checked out Kayak. One of my favorite features is buzz, where you can travel based on pricing if you are flexible with your dates (or looking for inspiration on where to go). I found a NYC-Madrid flight for $240 round trip this past November!
