Kayak has become the latest meta-search giant to launch a Facebook Messenger bot in the UK.

Already available in the US, Brits can now use the bot to search, plan, book, and manage their travel.

The bot can give users ideas on where they can go within their budget, show them when the best time to travel is and will keep them up-to-date with their travel plans.

The booking process can be started within Messenger.

Kayak said the bot will continue to improve as customers use the service.

This UK integration with Messenger follows hot on the heels of Kayak’s latest US app launches – Kayak for Slack and Amazon Alexa.

Cheapflights and Skyscanner have also launched Facebook Messenger bots recently.
