30 destinations were priced for this question. 0 could not be costed, 0 were too close to be a flight, 17 were far past the ceiling, and 0 were dropped as a longer or shorter version of a trip already listed.
Airfare: 2 of the destinations shown sit on an observed, dated route benchmark; 8 use the modelled distance curve. Every figure is an estimate, never a live fare.
This page was assessed on 2026-09-13. That is the date the answer was computed, not the date of the underlying airfare or price references — those dates are recorded separately. Prices are planning estimates, not quotes or availability. See which data the estimates use and when it was recorded
