How can friends in different cities plan a trip together on a2bflight?

Open a2bflight's group-trip page, /meet: each of you types the city you fly from, you name where you want to meet and the days, and a2bflight looks for the cheapest tickets that fit each of you, for two to eight people. The answer gives the whole group one sentence, the group's total where it can be added up, and each person's own fare and button, and its Share button lets you send the same answer to everyone in the group.

What changed on a2bflight's /meet page in October 2026?

Since 25 October 2026, a2bflight's group-trip page, /meet, puts the answer first: one sentence for the whole group, the group's total where it can be added up, the next step, and a row for each person with their fare or the closest one a2bflight has seen, each with its own button. The search form folds to one line with "Change", and the empty page arrives with a suggested weekend, three plain steps, ready-made groups and your city in the first box.

Can a2bflight's /meet show the closest fare to our dates?

Yes. On a2bflight's /meet, a row that reads "Nothing we've seen on these dates" also names, since 25 October 2026, the closest fare a2bflight has seen for that person, where there is one, with its dates and price, and their list shows the three fares nearest your dates first. When leaving up to three days earlier, or also coming home a day or two either side, would give everyone a fare, the next step links those dates.

Does a2bflight's /meet add up what the group pays?

Yes, when it can. a2bflight's /meet shows the group's total, with the dearest ticket and whose it is, when every person has a fare a2bflight has seen on the asked dates, each person is one traveller and the fares are in one currency. Every fare a2bflight has seen is for one traveller, so while anyone brings company the page shows each person's fare, adds nothing up, and says so in one line.

What are the ready-made groups on a2bflight's /meet?

The ready-made groups on a2bflight's /meet are example trips, such as friends in London, New York and Toronto meeting in Barcelona, that open a full answer with one press, each dated on days when everyone in it has a fare a2bflight has seen. Try as many as you like: opening one leaves your city, your recent searches and the suggestions in the boxes as they were.

What does "Same as group" mean on a2bflight's /meet?

On a2bflight's /meet, each person's box has a closed "Options" holding their other airports and their own adults, children, infants, bags and cabin. A count or cabin left blank reads "Same as group": that person goes with the group's own settings. Open a person's Options only when they travel differently, such as with a child or in another cabin.

What are the cheapest places to fly from my city on a2bflight?

a2bflight's Explore cheap flights page opens on your city: since 25 October 2026 its first section shows up to six cities we've seen the cheapest fares to from where you fly, each with its price, the day of that flight and a link to that route. When a2bflight does not know your city, it asks where you fly from, and price filters hide every card over the amount you pick.

Plan a trip with friends: one answer for all

Plan a trip with friends from different cities in one search on a2bflight's group-trip page, /meet; a2bflight is the flight search that looks for the cheapest tickets that fit you. Since 25 October 2026 the answer comes first: one sentence for the whole group, the group's total where it can be added up, the next step, and a row for each person with their own fare or the closest one we've seen, each with its own button.

You asked where your group can meet, so we built it

Many people who open a2bflight's group-trip page arrive from a link in an AI assistant's answer, such as ChatGPT's, and many of them are in the US. They bring a real question: we live in different cities, so where and when can we meet, and what will it cost us?

Until 25 October 2026 the page answered that question one person at a time, a line under each name. Your searches asked about the whole group, so we rebuilt the page around one answer for all of you.

Our Explore cheap flights page took the same idea: it now opens on the city you fly from, so the first thing you see is where you could go from home.

What your group gets: one answer for all of you

Ask a2bflight's /meet about a group trip and we look for the cheapest tickets that fit each of you. The answer opens with one verdict for all of you, in four parts:

One sentence for the whole group: everyone has a fare we've seen on these dates, some of you do (and how many), or none of you does.
What it comes to together, with the dearest ticket and whose it is, when every person has a fare and each of you travels alone.
The next step: when everyone has a fare, each of you opens your own; when leaving up to three days earlier, or also coming home a day or two either side, would give everyone a fare, a link straight to those dates; otherwise, search your exact dates on the seller's site from your own row, or change the dates.
A row for each person, by city: the dates of their fare, its stops, the day we saw it, when it lands, the price, and their own button.

Each person's closest fare to your dates

When a2bflight has seen no fare for someone on your exact dates, their row shows the closest fare we've seen for them, where there is one, with its dates and its price. Their button searches your exact dates on the seller's site, so everyone in the group has a next step.

Under the verdict, each person has their own list of fares we've seen: three shown, and the rest behind one line such as "Show 3 more fares". When your exact dates have none, the three shown first are the ones nearest the dates you asked for, so that closest fare is right there to see.

Your search folds to one line, ready to change

Once there is an answer, the search form folds to a single line, with everyone's airports, the meeting place and the days, and "Change" beside it. Press Change and the whole form opens again, with your search still in it. It folds on every screen, so the answer sits right under your search.

The page opens filled in, ready to try

a2bflight's /meet opens ready to try. Before you search, the page looks like this:

The two days hold a suggested long weekend: the Friday three to four weeks away and the Monday after. Change them to yours; pick a later meeting day and the day home moves with it.
The first box holds your city when a2bflight knows it, such as the one you picked or last searched from. If you have already started typing there, it is left alone.
Three plain steps say how it works: each of you types the city you fly from, you name where you want to meet, and each of you gets your own cheapest fare we've seen and its button, with the total once everyone has one.
Ready-made groups sit beside the form, such as friends in London, New York and Toronto meeting in Barcelona. Each opens a full answer with one press, dated on days when everyone in it has a fare we've seen.

Try a ready-made group, keep your own searches

Try any ready-made group on a2bflight's /meet: it is our example, not your search, so your city, your recent searches and the suggestions in the boxes stay as they were, and /meet and the Explore page still start from where you fly.

One box per person, with their own options

Since 29 September 2026, a2bflight's /meet has asked one box per person, "Person 1 flies from", "Person 2 flies from" and so on, for two to eight people. Under each box, a closed "Options" holds that person's other airports and their own adults, children, infants, bags and cabin. A count or cabin left blank reads "Same as group".

Every fare we've seen is for one traveller, so the answer prices each person as one traveller from their first airport. While any of you brings company, it shows each person's fare without a total and says so in one line.

Every answer on a2bflight's /meet carries a Share button: it opens your phone's share sheet where there is one, and otherwise copies the link. The link opens the same search, with the same people, meeting place and days, for whoever you send it to, and nobody needs an account.

Explore the cheapest places from your city

Since 25 October 2026, the first section of a2bflight's Explore cheap flights page is your own city. When a2bflight knows it, the section reads "Cheapest we've seen from" your city: up to six cities we've seen the cheapest fares to from where you fly, each with its price and the day of that flight, each a link to that route, and a link to all destinations from your city. When it does not, it asks where you fly from; type another city or airport and the row shows that one instead.

A row of price filters, any price or under one of three amounts, hides every card over the amount you pick, and when that leaves nothing from your city, the row says so.

Every fare dated, every ticket your own

a2bflight looks for the cheapest tickets that fit each of you, and every price on /meet and the Explore page shows the day we saw it. Since 26 October 2026 those prices also show in your own currency. Each person's ticket is their own, bought from their own city, so leave room before the hour the group must be together.

For the whole idea, step by step, read our guide to meeting in the middle. To ask your own AI assistant about fares we've seen, the AI page shows how to add a2bflight to it, and our post on finding cheap flights with your AI assistant shows what to ask.
