Kayak Flight Fare Scraper

This project is a Python-based web scraping automation tool built with Selenium. It scrapes flight fare details from the Kayak website, focusing on the cheapest section. The tool automates the process of clearing filters, selecting Indigo flights, and checking flight details. If the ticket number matches the "to be searched" flight number, it retrieves fare details from all airline provider websites and returns the information to the console. The results can also be exported to Excel using Pandas.
