KAYAK, part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), launched a 2026 summer campaign to move stalled group-trip ideas from chats to concrete bookings. New research from KAYAK finds 84% of travelers have had a group trip get stuck in messaging threads, often for one to three months, and 90% blame a single non‑committing friend.
To address this, KAYAK is introducing “BookBoards”, personalized, digital billboard reminders in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. From July 21–August 4, users can nominate friends at kayak.com/bookboards; chosen submissions will appear on billboards throughout August. A 90‑second hero film featuring Grace Reiter and Julia Dicesare anchors the campaign.
KAYAK also named top 2026 group destinations (5+ travelers), with sample average round‑trip flight and nightly hotel prices such as Las Vegas ($340 flight, $188 hotel) and Miami ($352, $261). A new “Group Trip” filter within KAYAK Explore highlights popular, affordable destinations where average airfare and hotel rates are each under $500. The company is further promoting its Ask AI planning tool, which lets travelers describe group preferences and budget while real‑time travel options surface alongside the conversation.
