Another trip.   Another expense request to file.   Another search for air fares, just to get the expense request $$$ amount close to accurate   Get approved.   Call Sun's travel agency.   Get the airflight tickets.

To get an idea on the airfares, I've used a number of different travel websites.   But recently, someone pointed me to one that I really like.   Kayak.Com.

The Kayak website feels easy to use.   It is easy to enter my desired flight information.   Then search.   Kayak provides lots of status info while it's searching.   I like that.

But best of all, when it is done searching, it comes back to tell me that there are no perfectly direct flights from my home airport to my destination....   And instead of having to start a new search, I can toggle on things like airlines, number of stops, and airports, to view some of the more complete information Kayak found during the first search pass.   No additional queries.   No additional waiting.   The information is already there.

Cool interface!   But maybe the best part is the name.   It's so easy to remember (which of course means I'll be more likely to use them again).   I need to get from here to there and back again.   K (here) -A-Y (to there) -A-K (and back again).   (And of course, Kayak is a form of transportation.)   Very clever name!
