How to turn on/off trip notifications?
KAYAK trips sends you notifications about flight status changes, gate updates, and check-in reminders to keep your travel organised. Flight status alert emails are enabled by default and sent to your KAYAK account email address.
Turn notifications on/off for a trip.
- Open the trip you want to manage from your trips list
- Go to the trip’s details page
- Look for the alarm icon to check if alerts are currently enabled (icon “on”) or disabled
- Use the alert controls on the details page to toggle notifications on or off for that specific trip
Add SMS flight alerts (optional).
To receive text message alerts in addition to email:
- Open the KAYAK mobile app
- Go to Notifications within your Profile
- Add your mobile phone number to enable SMS flight status alerts
Please keep in mind that flight status alerts are managed individually for each trip from the trip’s details page.

- 24-hour check-in reminder
