I feel "Travel" and "Internet" under "Industry" in the infobox should both be wikilinked (and Dot-com company probably makes sense for Internet), but Travel industry is just a redirect to Tourism -- and that doesn't seem to fit... Thoughts, anybody? -- Wulf ( talk) 00:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't think they need to be wikilinked. Anyone on the internet knows what the internet is. Anyone on kayak.com's wikipedia page knows what travel is. Johnathlon ( talk) 06:40, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Note that there may have been good content in the reverted version that could be added back. — Wulf ( talk) 02:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
What is the correct name of the company, Kayak or Kayak.com. Both variants are used throughout the article. ehn ( talk) 01:02, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
KAYAK is the correct name of the company. KAYAK.com refers to the flagship website of KAYAK. KAYAK's operations consist primarily of the flagship website KAYAK.com, which is part of a global family of websites that include kayak.co.uk, swoodoo.com, and checkfelix.com. These websites are referred to collectively as the KAYAK websites. Ehoa ( talk) 21:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
I work at KAYAK and wanted to start a discussion about updating the wiki page to reflect more current information. Also, I am a long time user of Wikipedia but a novice editor/talk page contributor so appreciate comments / advice on how to facilitate the updates by the community. Some of the revisions are just a matter of updating out-of-date information but wanted to share with the community first to avoid conflict of interest issues and find out next steps. Really appreciate your attention.

I don't think this sounds like an ad. It seems pretty neutral and objective even if it reads like copy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.137.183.232 ( talk • contribs)
It definitely sounded like an ad. I don't think it does anymore. Johnathlon ( talk) 06:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Should this be Kayak (company) rather than Kayak.com? Google's article isn't Google.com, for instance. Thanks. -- Carrot Lord ( talk) 17:43, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

KAYAK – KAYAK is advertised as KAYAK not Kayak.com, it is just like it is Google not Google.com, thus it should be KAYAK not Kayak.com
