looking for a flight search engine that does...
howdy folks,
i've spent most of my posts and lurks in the MR forum, the AA forum, and the CC forums here on FT. This is my first foray into OTB/BA, so I'm not sure if I've missed anything. Here's what I am looking for:
a search engine that can show me:
flights departing from a known city (in my case: NYC)
to anywhere (for this particular goal: anywhere domestic)
on upcoming weekends
sorted by price
i'm thinking of something kind of like http://fareplay.studentuniverse.com/
but without (a) the opacity and (b) the annoyance of not being able to open in new tabs...
is there any engine that can do this?
(i've looked at kayak, farecast, farecompare, ita, orbitz, expedia, travelocity)

This will make me look stupid, but here we go;
I actually found once web page that shows all the flights leaving from some city, and found it useful until I switched computers and lost the bookmark. And for last year I am trying to remember and googling to find it again, but can't.
I tried the one you listed at studentuniverse, but it seems that it is US oriented only.
Anyone know for some similar site?

I've actually been moving forward towards my goal and have been moving in a similar direction to what you are suggesting...
www.flighstats.com will provide all the departures within a given timeframe from an airport. So i've then been checking the prices on the airline websites (and expedia -- since I am going to use TYP to pay for the flights).
so far this is the best combination i've come up with...
maybe this will help someone in the future.
