Kik is a search engine that shows all the contents from the web, every flight, every hotel. When people find the flight they want, it will send you right to american airlines and you can buy it there. The company was founded by Andi Krasnoff who now works as an executive at Google. He says he started kik after being frustrated with expedia's lack of simplicity on their site.
