Cheapest flight routes "to" a destination

[RickG16]

I'm aware that there are a few sites that allow you to see the cheapest tickets and route out of a destination. For example, on Skyscanner, you can enter destination as "anywhere" and it will show you the cheapest flights out of that destination.

 

But is there any way to see the cheapest routes to a destination? Is there a site that allow you to enter a destination (e.g. Bangkok) and see where the cheapest international flights to that destination are from?

 

Cheers

Never seen it without a departure city listed.

Considering there are hundreds, if not thousands of possible international departure points, it would be quite a monumental task to to provide up to date  data for all to a single destination.  

Perhaps OP might go to a flight tracking website such as "FlightAware" and backtrack a list of all international flights arriving at BKK over any given period of time.

  

"I realise this will probably confuse many over a certain age. So confused emojis fully expected.

Any advice from those born in the last 200 years will be appreciated." 

 

As the OP seems to consider himself a singularly youthful thinker, perhaps he might engage a brain cell or two of his own.

Good points but why would it be a harder task for a website than giving you the cheapest flights from a destination? After all there are just as many potential flights out as there are in

From where to where?

 

From Europe to Bkk - you can get cheap deals from Oslo. I recently saw Business for £1126 rtn (specific dates) on Star Alliance Carriers.

 

Copenhagen - cheap(er) single Biz on Thai by about £3-400 than LHR.

 

London - sometimes Swiss do good deals.

 

Just have a play with google flights - or keep an eye on the various "cheap flights" facebook pages etc.

EDIT - you can use the "map" function on google flights to see the cheapest flight from London. You could just use different cities to fly to Bkk?

Not too difficult.  An airport such as BKK has departures to a finite number of final destinations, passengers terminating in any of the hundreds of other possible destinations connect from the initial destination.  Thus, a flight say from BKK to FRA (Frankfurt) may have passengers connecting in FRA to dozens of destinations spread around Europe.

What's the point?

 

You can get fantastic deals to Bangkok from Micronesia or Palau..........but then you have to get to Micronesia or Palau in order to take advantage of them.

 

Next post.........Where can I find the cheapest flight to Rwanda International?

The point is I have flexibility in which route a travel from Europe to Asia

There's also a finite number of direct flights into Bangkok.

Well then, as a singularly youthful thinker, Perhaps a session on ChatGPT will provide the answers you seek.

The amount of time you've spent on this thread you've could've checked google flights. 

 

When do you want to fly? Return or single?

 

I have checked lately and bizarrely it can be cheaper now to book two singles rather than a return.

So I take that to mean you've realised you don't know what you're talking about and have thrown the towel in.

 

That's the problem with trying to pick holes in posts for the sake of it.

I've been checking loads of sites, not just Google flights.

 

I am looking for a site with the function I explained in my first post.

Not quite, but you can add as many departure points as you want:

Consider this. How many people are likely to make the type of enquiry you are talking about? Not a lot I would imagine.

 

Creating data bases and search engines costs money, lots of it. I wouldn't think there's much profit in someone asking 'what's the cheapest ticket to anywhere'.

There already are sites that allow you to search 'cheapest ticket to anywhere'.

 

That's not what I am asking about.

Fill your boots - basically what google flights was based on (they bought the software a few years ago)

 

I've never got the hang of it.

Scroll through this to identify arrival flights that suit you, then price them on the usual sites.
