Apps and websites to find a common destination from different departure cities

The tools that search from several departure cities, side by side, and how to choose.

Updated 9 October 2026

The short answer

Yes. A few free tools search from several departure cities at once and show the places everyone can reach. They are websites you open in a browser, and they do not sell tickets: you book with an airline or a booking site. Where they differ is what happens after the list of cities. Some stop there. Others help the group choose, and show what each person pays.

What KupuKupu does that the others do not say they do

Most of these tools stop at a list of places. KupuKupu is built for the part after it: getting a whole group to agree, fairly.

• The group decides, inside the tool. Everyone picks the places they would be happy with, ranks the shared shortlist, and the best combined ranking wins. A tie goes to the cheaper trip for the group. No group chat needed to settle it.
• Each person sees their own price. Every person's round-trip fare from their own city, next to the group total, so the person flying furthest is not hidden inside an average.
• Free, with nothing to sell you. No card and no tickets sold. Prices come from Kiwi.com and Ryanair, and each person books their own flight.
• Made for two as much as for a group. A couple or two friends work exactly like a group. Only the people who vote join, so children and anyone who just comes along do not need an account.
• Easy to get everyone in. One link. A friend presses Join trip, says where they fly from, then makes an account. You see who has picked and can nudge the others on WhatsApp in one tap.
• It carries on after the choice. Once the group has chosen, everyone gets their own ticket with the others' flights beside it, ideas for what to see, and one shared list of the places you all want to visit.

The tools, side by side

Websites change, so check before you rely on a row. “Not mentioned on its site” means that its home page does not say, not that it cannot be done. If a tool here does something we have marked as missing, write to us through the contact page and we will correct the row.

How to choose

• You want each person to see their own price, and the group to settle it without a long chat. That is what KupuKupu is for. Everyone adds their city, picks the places they would be happy with, ranks the shared shortlist, and the best combined ranking wins. A tie goes to the cheaper trip for the group.
• You only want a list of cities to pick from yourselves. A search that takes several departure cities does that. Look at what it shows for each person, and whether it keeps the same dates for everyone.
• You are the only one searching, from one city. An “explore” search from a single airport, such as Google Flights Explore or Skyscanner’s “Everywhere”, is simpler. They start from one place, so they cannot tell you where all of you can go.

What to compare, whichever tool you use

• The same dates for everyone. Fares move from day to day, so prices only mean something on one pair of dates.
• Round-trip prices per person, not one price for the whole group.
• Direct or not. A cheap fare with two changes is a different trip.
• The total and the highest single price. The cheapest total can hide one person paying double, and that person decides whether the trip happens.

The step-by-step version is in How to pick a destination when everyone flies from a different city.

How KupuKupu works

1. One person creates the trip with a name, one pair of dates and the number of people voting, and shares a link.
2. Each person opens the link and adds the city they fly from.
3. KupuKupu finds the places everyone can reach and shows each person’s price and the group total. Prices come from Kiwi.com and Ryanair.
4. Everyone picks and ranks, and the group’s favourite wins. Each person books their own flight.

It is free and needs no card. It works for a group or for just two people.
