Luke/anyone who can help...

I regularly search flights by distance/time to complete. Normally I will increase the search results to max, select my departure airport and thumb through to an appropriate length flight I am looking for. However, I find it a hassle when I do this, say off of ATL.. I will get 15 flights to greensboro, 15 flights to ashville..before you know it, but results are over maxed out.

Understand what I am getting at? Is there a way to sort results by not only their distance, but to limit to one destination return as well? I really don't care all the different flights to JFK that day.

I see....so you'd like to see the 15 flights to Greensboro, ashville, or where ever condensed into 1 flight...I search the same way, would be nice to know how to view only 1 flight per destination rather than every single flight.

So a list of destinations, instead of a list of flight numbers. Someday (yeah, I'm dreaming, I know) an expandable or "tree" list would be awesome--so you get a list of cities, then click on the city and see all the flights heading to that city. That type of search would only work for certain setups, though--like if you gave the departure or destination airport. If you just wanted to see all flights for an equipment type, for example, that might not work.

I like all these ideas! They both sound really awesome to have on an already awesome site especially the "tree" I know,I would use it constantly

I like the idea. Usually I search a flight through route map. I think it would be great to have that feature to basically list all the destinations only once out of Atlanta or any other airport with certain restrictions being chosen by the user.

Great idea. When I am at DTW, this will help me to figure out where I want to go, then expand down to the different flights to the different destinations.
