Frequently Asked Questions

Why direct flights from both cities instead of a geographic midpoint?

A map midpoint between Johannesburg and Seattle is usually a town neither of you can reach easily. We instead show real destinations both cities fly to directly, which is normally faster and cheaper than meeting at the literal halfway point.

How are the destinations ranked?

Each shared destination is scored on the weather forecast across the trip and the combined flight value from both cities. The finder lets you re-rank and filter by budget, trip length and travel dates.
