Travel search engine comparing flights, hotels, and rental cars across providers

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team contacted the parent company in February 2026 to request a review of the Syria access restrictions under the post-sanctions legal framework. No response or resolution has followed.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Booking Holdings at bookingholdingscompliance@bookingholdings.com and legal@bookingholdings.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Kayak under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
