White Label and Kayak are different services with different sources of prices and options.
Shahram: why your hotels price is usually higher than others, like hotelscombined?
Sometimes prices are higher on Hotellook, sometimes on Hotelscombined. There is not direct correlation, that prices are usually higher or lower in some website. Hotellook and Hotelscombined don’t sale hotels, services compare the prices on all top website, and display the results what is provided by those websites.

Syed: Dose Aviasales look at KAYAK when looking for flight prices?

KAYAK shares 50% of own income. The income volume vary for the each order. We do not provide the information about promo codes and discounts, and I want to clarify, that some affiliate programs don’t allow to use their promo codes for affiliates to promotion. Please read the rules of every affiliate program before using the promo codes.
