ong-distance couples and loved ones living apart in faraway places can use a new tool that will offer up suggestions on the most affordable ‘rendezvous point’ based on their locations.
To use the new Rendezvous tool from Kayak, flyers enter two home cities and approximate flight dates. The tool will then produce destination suggestions that help couples and loved ones meet somewhere in the middle.
For example, for cross-country lovers in New York and Los Angeles, the tool suggests meeting in cities like New Orleans, where couples can meet for US$288 each in airfare, or Houston, where it will cost US$255.
The flight aggregator also revealed the top trending destinations for Valentine’s Day this year, based on searches over the last six months for travel during Valentine’s Day weekend February 14-17.
