Compare Average Flight Costs by City
24 February 2006 | By Ian in Made by isnoop, PHP, Site Features
In order to help a convention get off the ground, I built a tool that scraped all of the prices for round trip flights from every American and Canadian airport to eleven major North American cities.
According to my Costimator, Washington DC is the cheapest major destination, and NYC’s LaGuardia airport is the cheapest origin airport in North America.
You can enter airport codes and view the average cost to major destinations along with the percent difference from the average cost.

Very cool idea. I like it. It’d be cool if you could add flight time as well. Thanks for your hard work.

This is a very good idea and I think this is just what I am looking for to complete a task at work. Is the site still up and working? When I click on the link, I get this error: ERROR: Cannot connect to MySQL server at the moment. Please check back later.

Grat idea!!!!! I’m trying to access it but cannot connect to the server. Is it going to be there somewhere in the future? Thanks

This is a great idea, since it can be worth it to drive to another local airport (like Hartford, CT from Boston) to take advantage of cheaper fares.
