What are the pros and cons of booking flight tickets from Hotwire or Travelocity?
score:6
You've found one reason why it's important to check many different websites if you want the cheapest fare.
In this case, Travelocity has offered you an itinerary from CCU-SCE for INR 60144, while on Kayak the same itinerary redirects to Gotogate, where it costs INR 74068.
There are two big differences between these itineraries. One is the plating carrier, i.e. which airline actually issues the tickets.
In the case of Travelocity, the tickets are being issued by Delta Airlines, while Gotogate is selling tickets issued by KLM. In each case the flights are the same (at least some of them; see below), but thanks to codesharing, many airlines can sell tickets under their own brand for the same flight, operated by partner airlines.
The other big difference is the routing. The Travelocity flight is routed CCU-DEL-AMS-DTW-SCE, while the Gotogate flight is routed CCU-BOM-AMS-DTW-SCE. Interestingly, that same routing (on exactly the same planes from end to end) can be found on Travelocity, where it costs INR 75117 (USD 1128).
It appears that Kayak doesn't have any visibility into Delta Airlines ticketing, so it has no possibility to offer the lower priced routing and Delta ticketing. This is very common; no flight website that I know of can ticket on every carrier; they all are missing some carriers. This is why you should check many different sites.
