Can you explain what is the difference? I suppose the flight search engines don't book the flights.



The travel agent wants to sell you a flight and pick up a commission. The search engine just tells you what's out there.


On top of querying the travel agency APIs, Kayak will also query each airline directly. So you also get fares and airlines that aren’t published to agencies
