I don't see the problem. OK, let's say you want to travel in December, any dates between 1st and 31st. Minimum stay: 1 day. Departing on the 1st, you would have to test 30 dates for the intbound. Departing on the 2nd, 29 dates to test. Etc. In the end, that makes 30+29+28+...+1. Remember your math lessons? Yes! =31x30/2=465 combinations!
Assuming it takes 1 min per set of dates, that's exactly 7 hrs and 45 min. This is the worst scenario: you test all the dates and finally find out that the only availability is to depart on the 30th and to come back on the 31st.
Ah, yes. Multiply that by the number of destinations.
