How would using the separate screens help?
Sure, from MIA I can fly to all cities, but I still have to make 3 searches...?
Is making 3 searches what you described as "almost impossible"?

Old search:-
ARN,CPH,OSL
MIA

New searches:-
ARN
MIA
MIA
ARN,CPH,OSL

CPH

OSL

Yes, it's a bit more work. But we've had "total disaster", "virtually useless" and "almost impossible", amongst other epithets. I'm almost tempted to suggest that if this really is too much effort for some people, they don't deserve the benefit of the power that this tool still provides.
