CheapoTrav vs momondo

flight metasearch sibling of KAYAK

Short answer

momondo is a flight-first metasearch site owned by Booking Holdings (it shares an engine with sister brand KAYAK). It surfaces cheap international fares well, but always redirects to a partner OTA or airline to book, and the partner sets the final price and fees. CheapoTrav matches momondo's flight breadth, adds full hotel and car search, books on-platform with $0 fees, and unlocks unpublished agent rates by phone.
