Is this using skyscanner API?
I got a $false result when putting Miami origin and Osaka, tokyo, lax (no direct flights).

#52You should let me specify only airport codes and you do the translation in the background... I went in and did SFO, IAD, LHR, DBX and assumed any travel site would understand where I wanted to go without clicking the dropdown entries

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
And this is why idea guys get grief :P Seriously though I can't even imagine the logistics behind that one. Even if only fit and healthy people used the service there's so much that would need accounting for - air pressure within the plane even if we ignore the whole people are jumping out of a commercial jet
a C130 does it without difficulty :) * i never mentioned anything about commercial jets
May as well just let people off when you land to refuel then

#55I don't understand why all this types of applications assume that a have a destination and dates. I'm very flexible and I can work remotely. Surprise me with the cheapest flight anywhere. Does this kind of app exist?

This is a co-worker's project that seems to match what you want

#56Hi, I tried : Lyon, France as Home (2017/05/02 as start date) Tokyo Narita, Japan (7 days) Osaka Kansai International, Japan (14 days) Noumea Tontouta, New Caledonia (14 days) This told me that "Something went wrong! No valid route could be found for these destinations, please try another destination" I added Paris, France with "0 days" as it's a typical stop when flying international from Lyon. This gave me a result…
Also received a $false - BOOK. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/SGSQu
Thank you for that! I'll debug it now to see what's gone wrong, very strange.

As others mentioned stuff like that already exists, we wanted to make something we hadn't seen anywhere else.

Used to handle that, not sure why not anymore. I'll definitely fix it up. I'm planning on making it so that it tries to guess what you mean (essentially first auto-suggestion) if you don't click on it.

It is using Skyscanner. As for $false, that's some strange bug. I'll debug it now and push out a fix soon.

Discover Destinations does that. You input what kind of destinations your looking for (food, hiking, museums, etc.), and it'll show you the cheapest flights.
