I got a similar sinking feeling just a few days ago right after booking a flight through Kayak. It was a too-good-to-be-true rate on a flight from Boston to Barcelona with a company called Vayama. Vayama runs lots of little scams, like selling airline tickets before actually buying them from the airline, and cancelling the order if the flight fills up or they can't purchase them profitably. A quick web search shows hundreds (thousands?) of complaints against Vayama, but Kayak keeps pimping them.

Some people seem to say that using Vayama worked out for them, but with my trip 3 weeks away still I'm pretty on edge.

We're supposed to learn that Kayak is pants now, and they should feel bad.

You need a flight booking number to know if you actually have a ticket booked. If you've that, you're fine, if not, you have more planning to do.
