Trip Huddle from Kayak aims to make planning group vacations effortless

Kayak is aiming to make some waves in the world of trip planning. Or rather, calm some of them, especially when it comes to group trips.

Booking a group trip can be difficult, and one person is generally elected or appointed the leader.
