Where Can I Fly to From a Specific UK Airport?

*Surely* there is a website somewhere that I can see where my nearest international airports fly to? Why would I want to have to first find somewhere I want to go on holiday, get all excited about it and *then* spend hours trying to find an airport nearby that serves it, only to discover that none actually do?!!

We don't all live within an hour or so of London!

HELP!!!

    Go to that specific airports website, they will give you the destinations usually.

    Thanks. That may be so, but none that I have looked at give you a *map* of where they go, just a list of place-names, 95% of which I've never heard of, so you pretty much have to know where you want to go before you start. Wouldn't a map just be *so* simple and *so* useful?

    Seems like an obvious website project for someone!
  • If you put your local airport into Skyscanner and search 'Everywhere' it'll given you a list of countries. You can then select a country and it'll show the destinations within the country, and whether it's a direct or indirect flight.

    Try this: https://www.flightconnections.com/

    Put the airport you want to fly from in the From box and leave the To empty. You then can filter by specific airlines.

    Google Flights will do exactly what you want, you can enter multiple departure airports and see a map of destinations with prices:

    https://www.google.co.uk/flights/

    You'll need to select "non-stop only" to see only direct flights.

    Flightradar24. Click on an airport and you can then select 'routes'. At the momemt it only gives routes for 7 days, but timetables don't change significantly from week to week.

    Look for a wikipedia page for the airport

    Where do you live? You could argue that many of us don't live within an hour or so of any airport, but except for those who live in really remote and isolated areas I think most of the population could get to one of the main airports within 2 hours
    I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world
