Exploring destinations by region and budget

If you know your budget but not your destination, Explore is the place to start. It shows destinations you can reach from your airport, with the lowest recent fare for each, and lets you narrow them by region and price.

How to use Explore

1. Open Explore. It starts from your nearest airport, or your home airport if you are signed in.
2. Choose a region with the chips at the top, or keep Everywhere.
3. Drag the Budget slider to set the most you want to spend. Destinations above it are hidden.
4. Browse the destination cards. Each shows the lowest recent fare from your airport.
5. Press a destination to see flights or its route page.

What the prices mean

Prices are the lowest recently found fares from your airport to each destination, in your currency. They come from recent searches and change through the day. The partner always shows the live price before you pay.

Changing where you start

Explore uses your nearest airport, or your home airport when you are signed in.

• To explore from another city every time: sign in and set your home airport in Profile.
• To check one other city quickly: use the Departing from picker on the deals page, which lists the cheapest destinations from any city.

Ideas for using Explore

• “Somewhere warm, under my budget.” Pick a region you like, then lower the budget until the list is short.
• “A cheap long weekend.” Set a low budget and look at nearby regions, then check the deals page for weekend breaks.
• “Anywhere new.” Keep Everywhere, lower the budget step by step and see which places remain.

From idea to booking

1. Pick a destination and open it.
2. On the route page, check the cheapest months to fly.
3. Use the calendar to find a good day.
4. Search the dates and compare flights.
5. Press View deal to book on the partner’s site, or set a price alert if you want to wait.

If this, then that

• If you see “Nothing in this budget yet”, move the slider up or pick another region.
• If a region has few destinations, we may have little recent price data from your airport for that region. Try a larger airport nearby.
• If prices look higher than expected, check the currency in the header and remember fares vary a lot by month.
• If the page starts from the wrong airport, your connection may appear to be somewhere else, for example on a VPN. Set a home airport.
