Easy Way to Find Airfares to Europe without Caring Where Specifically?

mulimulix on 06/06/2022 - 10:09

I'm going to be booking flights to Europe in the next month or two so I'm always looking them up but since I'm not really fussed which city I fly in and out of it's such a hassle to actually find what the cheapest airfare is. They obviously vary quite wildly between cities and slightly different dates as well which creates a lot of combinations to check.

Is there a site which can check multiple cities at once or something similar? I'm aware of kayak.com.au/explore which is ok but only shows for pretty random dates and they're usually very short durations.

    Google Travel. Put in your departing city and dates of travel and put the destination as "Europe".

    edit: I forgot how useful this is. Set it to 2 weeks in September and found a return flight to Greece for $900. So very tempting…

      Yes looks a lot like what I imagined, thanks! I forget google has some good travel features on it. Also lets you change filters unlike the explore feature on Kayak.

        Definitely not perfect, it would be nice with longer flexibility periods (i.e. it lets you pick 2 weeks, not more). But the filters are handy and the ability to set price notifications if it drops in price.

      Yeah but that's with Scoot… so you have to pay extra for baggage and meals.. they even charge for In-seat power

        Get the Biz seats, they're awesome.

            @Savas: Luggage, food and lots of room for pretty decent prices most of the time.

      Norwegian was one of the victims of the pandemic and the version that exists today no longer flies long haul sadly

    ITA Matrix is the technology Google Flights was based off. You can specify multiple airports or just general regions like Europe. Interface is not as nice as Google Flights however.

    Does anyone recall when Kiwi.com has a feature to use a map to plot down your origin and depending where you set your destination or click it would show you the nearby cities and prices. This no longer exists, but is there another site with this feature anywhere?
