I like how kiwi.com kept me updated throughout my multiple-stop journey from asia to the u.s. however, I was disappointed that each segment limited my luggage allowance to 20g, and that the 10-hour flight on jetstar from melbourne to honolulu offered no complementary in-flight meal or drink services. when I book on travelocity, no matter the price, I seem to receive higher checked baggage allowances and normal meal service. otherwise, I enjoyed the kiwi service.
