At KAYAK we like to make travel planning as fun and comprehensive as possible. So we decided to enhance the popular Explore function to show you the cost of your searched flight in the equivalent of local goods, such as egg waffles, bowls of congee, and whole roasted geese. Explore Limited Edition is an interactive addition to the existing Explore tool, and provides you with inspiration for your next trip while allowing you to see where you can go and for how much.
Translating flight costs into local goods highlights the competitive prices that are available and emphasises just how inexpensive flights can be, ensuring all travellers can explore their options, no matter their budget.
Have you ever wondered how many afternoon teas it costs to fly from Hong Kong to Quanzhou? Explore Limited Edition has the answer for you – and it’s just two! For the equivalent of two whole roasted geese, holidaymakers can travel from Hong Kong to Xiamen to visit the botanical gardens. Travelling from Hong Kong to Phuket is equal to as little as 5 Hong Kong Observation Wheel Tickets, or just HK$465. Or travel from Hong Kong to Yangon for just 3 bowls of wonton noodles, or HK$85.
