Kayak launches a tool to facilitate reunions as a couple or with friends

Planning a romantic getaway, planning an extended weekend with friends in a European city... On paper it's (very) nice, but it can be complicated when it comes to finding the right date , to agree on the budget and above all to choose the destination. Because yes, whether you are going as a couple or in a group, there is an essential point to take into account when choosing a city as part of a trip:where are you leaving from? The prices but also the routes vary according to the city of departure. So, if we don't all start from the same place, it can be a real headache! It is to respond to this logistical problem that the online travel search site Kayak has launched the Retrouvailles tool.

Halfway

The principle of Reunion? We fill in the two departure airports and the tool searches among more than 200 popular destinations to offer 20 affordable meeting points. The idea being of course to indicate “halfway” destinations for the two people or groups. The tool allows you to see the prices in real time on the dates chosen, for each person (via the “See my flight” and “See your flight” tabs). Then just choose from the various proposals according to our budget and, tadaaaaaam… We have saved a lot of time! You can then share the results via Messenger.

So, if you live in Paris and your BFF Amsterdam, you can for example visit the pretty town of Shannon in Ireland… When is the departure?!
