search feature --> easy choice of alternate airports

On comparing Kayak, Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz et al:

I like it when a search allows me to quickly choose airports, e.g. showing a map and then letting me pick up to 4 or 5 airports is the ultimate. Simply miles and choice is similar. Some would let you put in the number of miles, which is helpful.

Seems I remember seeing that on some of the larger search sites.

However I just went down a few and the only smooth one was Google Flight Search, up to 5 and easy shmeasy. Others had various degrees of difficulty. Travelocity (which I thought was a goodie) and Expedia seem to want one city check at a time, unless I am missing something.

Are there others with that feature? Since I often leave from airports that truly have a many possible good airports (e.g. SWF HPN, LGA, JFK, and EWR are often important checks .. or AVL, CLT, GSP) this is the key special ingredient in my searching comparison.

Who is good on this other than Google Flight Search. Feel free to mention other features that you feel are super-important.

Thanks!
