That's super easy. Just do a google search for the Airport code and the word 'departures' i.e. PHL Departures, LAX departures, etc and a whole slew of websites pop up that allow you to see every departure and flight status leaving the airport. I prefer to use flightstats.com. That's what I used to use when I was a flight attendant. Go to the homepage, there's a big map of the US. Click on your airport, and then it will list flights for that hour at the bottom. At the top there's a small, gray search panel that lets you select anywhere between the two days before and two days after today. Doesn't show prices, but it's still a good tool for a getaway on a whim. Cheers xx You can totally find all of the flights departing from a specific airport. That’s super easy.

I am a platinum medallion member, which doesn't mean anything. Today, August 05, 2009, my 2 children, ages 8 and 5, were just pulled off of flight 121 from JFK to Sao Paulo (GRU) Brazil. They were told that they had to balance the plane. Well, the 2 of them together do not weigh more that 120 pounds. Because they were pulled off, my wife had to get off. Delta had no regard for my family's safety. They came from Atlanta to New York to caught this flight. I have been waiting in Brazil on a business trip for 4 days to get them here. Now they are stranded in New York with no change of clothes because Delta would not take their bags off the plane. Delta left them with a hotel bill and 2 taix fares to pay. On top of that, how are they supposed to get their bags. Another thing that is causing a problem is that I can’t find an international number to call Delta. Their 1800 numbers do not work when you are in another country. There is nothing I can do about it. I am helpless!!! If anyone wants my skymiles, shoot me an email or call me at 404-556-2297. This will probably be my last flight with Delta. I am going to check into becoming a member of Continental. I now regret the day that I ever started flying with Delta.

It's a very similar scenario to a problem I ran across 2 years ago on a year-long trip around the world. How can you see all the places you can go from where you are at? A sort of spin the glob, put your finger where it lands, and see how much it would cost to go there mentality. This became the basis for a new type of travel information company I founded: Travature.com. Specifically on our flight metasearch engine, you can leave everything blank but your departure location, and you'll see a map driven list of all the airfares we have cached for routes leaving your city. You can then filter the list based on distance, activity tags, and more. We also extend this open ended travel discovery concept to a bunch of other rarely integrated aspects of travel (such as Restaurant Reviews, Wiki style Travel Guides, etc). We have just begun building and have a long way to go. But ultimately we think a free, unbiased, flexible trip planner is exactly what travelers like you and me need. -Jeremy Founder of Travature AJs question was a great.
