JimBob2232 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I am trying to find a webpage where I can put in a departure airport and a date of departure and it will show me a list of cities I can go on that date and the cheapest fares. For instance, I want to say "Leave JFK on 1-Nov-08 and return on 8-Nov-08" and have the search return the following: Boston $199 Charlotte $250 Denver $300 Atlanta $225 London $750 etc. etc. Anyone know of a service which will do this? Thank you.
JimBob2232 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Posted June 14, 2008 Ding looks to be pretty good, but only encompases southwest. Any other similar searches for other airlines?
Marv's Neighbor Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Go to Southwest.com and download the "ding." They're not accepting reservations past 10/31/08! No "ding" for you!

a player to be named later Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 http://www.airfarewatchdog.com is the best site if you are looking for low fares. you just type in your city and it compiles all legacy and lcc (including jet blue and southwest). It won't search on dates but will give you a range. If you really want to find the deals you have to keep an eye on the sites.
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Also try kayak.com kayak is a really good meta search engine in that it scans lots of travel sites and airline sites to bring all the choices to you. I don't think it does what JimBob wants: enter a departure city and have it spit out all the destinations and prices.

I don't think it does what JimBob wants: enter a departure city and have it spit out all the destinations and prices. Yeah, I use kayak alot, but its not what I am looking for. Someone with some more technical smarts than me should start this service. Think about it. You and your spouse mesh vacation schedules and come up with The week of November 8th as your annual vacation. Normally you pick a location and figure out how to get there cheapest. Wouldnt it be nicer to be able to say "For $1,000 we can go to vegas. For $1100 we can go to the florida keys, For $3,000 we can go to London, etc." You can then look at prices and decide where you want to go based on what is in your budget instead of the other way around. Southwest Ding is close, but it only gives you short-term airfare deals.
