Is Kayak down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Kayak successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 633 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 533 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 381 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 440 ms |
Based on 368 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About Kayak
Kayak is a travel metasearch engine that aggregates data for flights, hotel stays, and car rentals from various providers. Travelers use the site to compare prices, set up price alerts, and manage itineraries through the Trips feature. Outages typically result in search results failing to populate, broken redirects to booking partners, or errors when accessing user accounts. Rimetry analyzes the site's uptime from several global regions to determine if the search infrastructure is responding correctly for all users.
Problems with Kayak can affect website, login & authentication, search independently.
Kayak (kayak.com) is a travel service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Kayak is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 250 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to kayak.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Kayak include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.
