It's awfully similar. The positioning of elements and language used is virtually identical. The main difference is the Bing header is taller. Otherwise, even the advertising is positioned similarly and styled similarly. It's hard for me to believe that the designers at Microsoft & Farecast who worked on this portal didn't specifically use the Kayak interface as inspiration. What a shame.
