I have been wanting such a tool for ages.
I like the Google functionality of saying you want to start in NYC and go to "Europe"
The reverse would be very helpful for me, indeed.

Again - Kiwi allows you to search from e.g. Europe to JFK in business. It is not perfect but gives direction. You can book elsewhere.

ITA also had multi-country functionality years ago but no longer.

Used to love this feature of Matrix. It was very powerful Shame it got taken away.

Now if any of you were nave enough to ask chatGPT for any such booking tricks, I am sure you were told that it is just a language AI and not an airfare database...

I use ITA matrix (note you have to do this on a per-country basis, meaning when searching from A to B, where B is what you want, all airports in A have to be in the same country as A).

So say I'm trying to find flights to my hometown airport of DTW. What I usually do is pick an airport centrally located (or depending on what you're doing, you can use a more localized airport) and select the "nearby airports item" and change the filter to 2,000 miles. I then select all the airports I want.

It's not the best, but it does work.

That was a huge loss.
Would love to see it make a comeback.
