How to find common destinations from two different departure airports

To find common destinations from two different departure airports, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open FlightsMeet's search form.
  2. Enter the name of the first departure airport under the origins section. You can also input the city or country. As you type, a list of suggestions will appear. You can either select one of the suggestions or continue typing. Additionally, you can modify the number of passengers by clicking the plus or minus icons.
  3. Repeat for the second departure airport.
  4. In the destination section, type the name of the desired destination. If you are uncertain, you can simply type "Anywhere". You can also specify a country, city or continent. Additionally, you have the option to narrow your search to a particular region within a continent, such as "Southern Europe."
  5. Click the "Dates" button and select the departure and return dates in the "Departure" and "Return" fields. The "Return" field is optional. If you don't specify a return date, FlightsMeet will only search for one-way flights.
  6. If desired, click on the "Filters" button to refine your search further. You can specify the number of stops, maximum flight duration, and your preferred price range for each trip.
  7. Click on the "Search" button and wait for the results.

Should you wish to include more than two departure airports, simply click the "Add more origins" button. This action will append another origin field to the form, allowing you to add up to 10 origins for comprehensive travel planning.

If you wish to view and select individual flights, simply click on the "Get flights" button in the pop-up. This action will prompt another search, specifically for the chosen destination.

Tips for finding the cheapest common destinations

Be flexible with the dates

Consider this hypothetical scenario: Two individuals, one residing in Copenhagen and the other in Barcelona, wish to meet in early November. We'll explore two date ranges: November 8th to November 12th (Wednesday to Sunday) and November 9th to November 13th (Thursday to Monday). Using kiwi.com, we'll search for roundtrip flights from one city to the other, and with the assistance of FlightsMeet, we'll find common destinations from both airports (please note that the prices mentioned are accurate as of the time of writing).

  • 8-12 (Wednesday to Sunday)
    • Barcelona to Copenhagen: 91€
    • Copenhagen to Barcelona: 136€
    • Barcelona and Copenhagen to Milan: 102€
  • 9-13 (Thursday to Monday)
    • Barcelona to Copenhagen: 86€
    • Copenhagen to Barcelona: 129€
    • Barcelona and Copenhagen to Turin: 99€

From this example, it's clear that choosing to fly during weekdays instead of weekends can result in spending less.

As a side note, FlightsMeet offers an intriguing opportunity for friends to explore a third city without a substantial increase in costs, rather than simply spending time in one of the cities they call home.

Consider booking in advance

Airlines usually have lower fairs when the flights are further in the future. The earlier you book the more likely to get a good deal.

Conclusion
