Blockskye

We are very proud that over 87% of KAYAK for Business and Blockskye travelers are able to service their travel seamlessly and digitally on the apps of our Connected Suppliers. But as we approach the end of hurricane season, we wanted to share how our technology partnership with Connected Suppliers performed during times of extreme disruption.  Of the thousands of travelers who booked via KAYAK+Blockskye impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, 99.5% were able to digitally re-book or cancel their trips either via their Kayak app or directly on Connected Supplier apps or websites. With weather-related travel disruptions up 40% in 2024, our technology ensures exceptional customer service—on routine days and when travelers need it most. (Full article link below in the comments)

On this Veteran’s Day, let’s take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the veterans who have committed their lives to serving our nation.
