Neat concept, but where is the data coming from? There is no way that the cheapest flight from Vancouver to Toronto is $460. Maybe half that.
One way or return?
doh... didn't dawn on me that this could be return... too many airline websites!

#12Nice. You can fly from orange county (CA) to long beach for $270.
Or you could drive up there for 10 bucks of gas in 25 minutes.

#13This is great and I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
The only thing it needs now is to allow you to better refine the time period (e.g. only weekend trips, or only two weeks in October, etc). As it is now, it's great for people with a month or more off of vacation, but doesn't quite do it for the rest of us yet.

#14Now that's just plain neat. And useful, since I'm currently considering where to go on summer holidays. I do notice that it doesn't add extra destinations as you zoom in, though. For instance I can zoom in on Colorado as much as I like and it won't tell me that I can fly to Denver (even though there's probably twenty flights a day). Nor will it give me a price for Paris, but Nadi, Chennai and Oaxaca are much higher p…
That depends on your starting location, from Newark it shows Denver just fine.

#15I like it, but one thing I noticed if if you select a starting date, it doesnt automatically set the return date to the next day. So if you select a date some time in the future you have to scroll twice

Yeah... it also changes the destinations based on which timeframe you choose up top. I'm willing to bet that Kayak is for the most part simply caching the results that other people have recently searched for on the site and showing those when available.

I checked and couldn't find any direct flights. The cheapest way I could find from SNA to LGB had a one-hour stopover in Phoenix.
Probably not a popular route.

It's still not perfect - it shows Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Montevideo, Uruguay for a meager U$ 600, while Montevideo to Buenos Aires correctly shows U$ 110 (a more reasonable average price).
But I concur that it's very cool.
Re: Where can I fly for how much?
#19It's a neat tool (if you're in the UK check out the similar "I'll fly anywhere" option at http://flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/) but the problem with it is that for most people the cost of the flight is going to be less than the cost of the hotel.
So if you're after a cheap holiday it's much more important to fly somewhere where you can get a cheap hotel than to get a cheap flight. Hopefully they'll add hotels to the calculation in the future.

#20Hhmmm, is there an option for round trips?
