Where can I find and book plane tickets on date not on destination?

Question

I have a holiday coming up and I would like to travel with the family somewhere. I have specific wishes regarding departure and arrival times, but the destination is less relevant. Where can I search on date and departure/arrival times for possible destinations?

Skyscanner!

Enter in the 'from' part, eg, LON (London, any airport) is what I used to put when I lived there.

Delete the 'to' part, leaving it blank.

Select the dates you require, from and to.

Click search. It will then display a list of countries by price. Select the country of choice, and it'll show cities in that country, by price. This is often how I'd pick my next trip to Europe - where shall I go this time....?

I wish I could favourite an answer sometimes rather than a question! – hippietrail Oct 04 '11 at 19:46

I find Skyscanner gives me a load of RyanAir trips to fields in the middle of nowhere. – Tom Hawtin - tackline Oct 05 '11 at 07:41

A simple checkbox on the left once you get to your destination page lets you uncheck RyanAir. No need to look at airlines you don't want. – Mark Mayo Oct 05 '11 at 07:52

I would like to recommend https://kiwi.com it has a nice filter by radius feature.

screenshot example is for flight search from 100 km radius of Tokyo to 150 km radius around Osaka excluding Nagoya region:
