Brief description of the company

Kiwi.com is a groundbreaking search engine for flight tickets. We use virtual interlining to provide our customers with flight combinations they would otherwise struggle to find. On top of that, we add the Kiwi.com Guarantee. Even if our customers book an itinerary combined of different low cost carriers, we’ll still take care of them if they miss any connecting flight due to a delay. Our interface is user-friendly and takes into consideration even those not so standard inquiries — do you want to fly anywhere? Is your budget limited? Are you planning to visit 10 countries in 4 days? We’re ready.
