In March 2023, KAYAK launched a new travel integration with the AI-powered language model ChatGPT by OpenAI. The KAYAK plugin works as an assistant; it opens doors for more conversational interactions with the travel search engine. It can help people find the cheapest flights through ChatGPT.
According to the Longwoods International tracking study, nearly 32% of American citizens expressed interest in planning their trips through ChatGPT. The CEO of Longwoods International, Amir Eylon, shared with Forbes that the travel industry has always accepted technological advancements.
How to use the KAYAK plugin to find the cheapest flights on ChatGPT?

The KAYAK plugin works similarly to a virtual assistant, and users can ask it questions such as “Which flights are available to book from NYC to London in June?” Users can also personalize their queries by adding a budget, food, and other requirements. Planning has never been this easy with ChatGPT and KAYAK!
- The KAYAK plugin will show the list of available options and provide a link to book the seats right away. As per the official statement of KAYAK, their recommendations are based on search criteria and historical data.
- Additionally, ChatGPT provides an understanding of natural human linguistics, making it easier to focus on delivering personalized recommendations. For example, if a user asks to ‘find a restaurant near my hotel and Central Park that also offers vegan options,’ the KAYAK plugin on ChatGPT can provide tailored recommendations.

Step 1: Install the KAYAK plugin on ChatGPT and select a destination
Installing the KAYAK plugin in ChatGPT is very easy. Users can open its plugin section and select KAYAK or install it through the available option below if it isn’t visible in the list. The KAYAK plugin is gradually getting enabled for ChatGPT users. It started with the ChatGPT Plus subscribers and will soon be available for all users.
- Once installed, users can ask for recommendations for travel destinations by distance, budget, continent, country, weather, and much more. ChatGPT will present you with a list of all the destinations with a summary.
For this year's break, I'm doing things a bit differently: I asked ChatGPT to plan my trip & activities.

Step 2: Add your requirements for ChatGPT to plan a trip
As the KAYAK plugin works like a virtual travel assistant through ChatGPT, users can share their requirements with the AI, and it will help plan the trip. Users can include all the necessary details such as destination, travel dates, budget, and number of travelers.
- Additionally, users can add specific instructions of requirements such as rentals, diet, or other activity choices so ChatGPT can recommend a personalized and complete trip plan for the user. Users can also inquire about cultural activities or context and other information you shouldn’t miss.
Multiple hotel suggestions will be provided and users can fine tune the trip by asking chat gpt to choose a cheaper hotel, closer hotel ect…..
Right now this feature is only available for premium subscribers but we plan on rolling out a free version soon!

Step 3: Discuss the budget and bookings
There are chances that ChatGPT might take a little liberty in its recommendations. In such a scenario, users can further ask for a breakdown of the trip’s budget and more budget-friendly options.
- A point to note is that the price mentioned on the app are rough estimates and can be different due to fluctuations. So, double-checking the listed prices is a much-recommended procedure. After preparing everything, you can book the flights, hotels, and other rentals through ChatGPT.
