All the sale/deal sites I have seen don't make it easy to do the type of search I want. I am looking to put in an airport code like SDF and ideally it would show me all the cheap flights I can book in the next week or month. So it would say I could go to XYZ for $49 on August 10th. There are a lot of possible destinations I am interested in, if it's very cheap. Thanks. Does anyone know how to find the cheapest flights from my airport?

My question is this, leaving from Orlando/Tampa, which airport in Europe would be the cheapest to arrive at and then just go rail or rent a car to start a itinerary? In the old days a Luxemberg, a Munich, Brussels or whatever, were good arrivals versus actually arriving in Paris. Is the old trend a thing of the past and can I zero in at a not so popular airport just to get on the continent and take it from there.

You need to buy your ticket 3 days ahead and at least 7 days ahead if possible, right now US Airways is your best bet SDF-PBI, Saturday May 17 departure returning Tuesday May 20 is $234 out the door. 7 days out the price is in the low $300's before that and last minute is is in the Low $400's. Leaving at the drop of hat has the airlines treating you as business traveler which can be up to $1200 roundtrip, luckily US Airways caps out in the high $400's roundtrip even with 1 day notice (connects in Charlotte). Hope this helps and that Louisville is your departure point.

She needs me to come immeadiately when she calls, in the next day or up to ten days away once the Dr tells her what she needs to do for her health. Sh and her husband Jess, are teachers @ Clewiston HS and live there with my granddaughter, Madison. They live over 90 minutes away from any hospital and Keri will need to be there at the first signs of complications. Is there ANY way to watch for flights to Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or West Palm Beach, or even Orlando without living on the computer. I need just one rountrip ticket over the next 10 days that would be $250.00 and under, as that is all I can afford at this time. I thought it was hard trying to get down there in time for my granddaughters birth, but I just went 2 weeks in what was supposed to be advance, (I don't have that option in this situation) then my daughter went into complications and they hospitalized her within the first 3 days I was there and after 3 days in labor she had our healthy little Madie! Now I just feel so betrayed by the Friendly skies!!! I know they have to make a profit, but it would certainly be nice if there was someway to find medical emergency and bereavement fares that were reasonable. We just lost my mother in law 2 months ago and flew Keri in and out twice in a 9 day time frame, not to mention all the back and forth of about 14 roundtrips times two we've taken just for family visists in the 18 mos since Madie's birth, one of which was for a medical emergency for Madie when at 9 weeks she was hospitalized for 3 days for stopping breathing. Oh well, I'm sure this just sounds like another pitty story, but I'll take any suggestion you might have on finding a last minute fare in the next ten days at the drop of a hat to any of the above mentioned airports, without living on the computer. West Palm Beach would be most desired as that is where the hospital is.
