is kayak really worth it for booking nyc family trips?

Last week, I started planning our big family trip to New York City—five of us, all excited but also a bit overwhelmed. I kept seeing Kayak pop up as a top travel app, so I figured I’d give it a try. But honestly, I’m feeling a little skeptical. I’ve heard stories about hidden fees or bookings that didn’t go through, and with five people, I can’t afford any surprises. We’re already stressing about finding a hotel room that fits all of us without costing a fortune, and the idea of something going wrong with our reservation makes me nervous. Has anyone actually used Kayak for a big family trip to NYC? Did you get a good deal, or did it end up being more trouble than it was worth? I’m torn between saving money and making sure everything goes smoothly—especially since we’ll be wrangling kids and luggage in the city that never sleeps. I’d love to hear if anyone else has run into issues or if I’m just overthinking it. Sometimes these apps sound too good to be true, and I’m not sure if I should trust them with our family vacation. #NYCtrip #FamilyTravel #KayakExperience #Travel
