How MultiTripScanner works

MultiTripScanner plans trips in Europe and Southeast Asia, with fares up to 90 days ahead. Trips in Europe can also start at home, with a flight in from Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Seattle, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, Miami and San Francisco. Any airport within 1,000 km of one of them works as home: the trip starts at the nearest. Trips in Southeast Asia can also start at home, with a flight in from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, London, Paris, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo, Seoul, Delhi, Mumbai, Dubai and Hong Kong. Any airport within 1,000 km of one of them works as home: the trip starts at the nearest. From Vancouver, Los Angeles or San Francisco, or an airport within 1,000 km, one trip can take in Europe and Southeast Asia: places in one, a long flight on to the other, more places there, and home. That's three separate long-haul tickets, all in the total: pick "Then fly on to" under Starting from. In Europe, 47 places with no airport of their own, such as Kotor, Budva and Amalfi, can be a start or a stop: the trip flies to the nearest city with flights and says how far it is, or how long by road or boat. In Southeast Asia, 31 places with no airport of their own, such as Hoi An, Ubud and Canggu, can be a start or a stop: the trip flies to the nearest city with flights and says how far it is, or how long by road or boat. For the flight from home to that airport, the trip page links a search, with its price when we've seen one. Take it the same day or one to three nights before; staying longer than three nights there, the trip page links the same trip planned from that city, and you get there your own way.

The fares are recent prices that travellers found on Aviasales for direct flights (the long flight in from home often has a stop or two), each with how many days ago it was seen. They're a strong guide, not a quote: "Check price" opens Aviasales' search for that route and day, with the prices airlines and agents quote now, and that's what you pay. Each price here is the one shown when it was seen; the airline or agency may add booking, payment or seat fees when you book, so check the full price before you pay. We don't see every flight, so an airline may sometimes have a cheaper day than the one we show. A flight within Europe seen three or more days ago says "may be higher now": when we checked Ryanair's and Wizz Air's prices against the airlines' own on 5 October 2026, about a third of those had gone up by more than €5, against about one in eight newer ones. In Southeast Asia it says so from four days: of the prices four or more days old that we checked by hand there, about half had gone up. The long flight from home and the hop to it, there or back, say so from three days in both: when we checked 120 of them against Kiwi.com's live prices on 5 October 2026, two in three of those seen three or more days before had gone up by more than €5, against one in three newer ones.

Under each flight, a strip shows that route's cheapest price on each day from two weeks before to two weeks after (up to four weeks for a route flown only a few days a week), one dot a day, with the middle half of those days shaded as the usual range. The yellow pin is your flight. "Low for these dates" means it's under that range; "higher than usual" means over it. The trip's total gets the same strip, from each flight's usual range added up. For the long flight in from home or back, a day with no price today counts the latest price we saw for that day over the past two weeks, and the strip says so. When nearby days have too few prices, the strip compares the whole month instead, then that month and the ones either side, and says so ("Typical for October"). It's about the dates, not a promise: the prices are ones seen recently, and when even the season has too few prices we say so instead of guessing. "Below usual" under a flight is a different comparison: that same date's fare against what it was on the days we saw it over the past month, so it says a price has fallen even on a date that is dear for the route.

We look for direct flights from your city that fit your dates, then onward flights after the nights you chose, and keep going until the trip is as long as you asked, cheapest first. We show trips that differ from each other, not ten versions of the same one, and you can sort them by price, number of places or length. "Surprise me" picks one of the good ones at random.

To browse before you search, there are pages of the cheapest trips from each start city (and from each one through a country it flies to non-stop), through each country, by trip length (a long weekend through two countries, or one to three weeks, there and back), by month, by kind of place (beaches, islands, capitals, mountains, old towns) and by area (the Balkans, Scandinavia, Indochina ...), staying in a group of neighbouring countries. In winter, winter sun lists trips where every stop is warm by day, and the search has the same filter under Set every detail. Each city outside the regions that trips fly in from (named above) has one too, with pages by month, by budget, for two or three weeks and through each country its flights reach. A month's page also lists where it's typically warm and mostly dry then, and which typhoon, cyclone or monsoon-flood seasons are at their peak.

Not sure where to start? Every start city is ranked by its cheapest round trip through three countries, in Europe and in Southeast Asia. Flying in from further away? The cities trips fly in from are ranked the same way, in Europe and in Southeast Asia.

Non-stop routes with fares now and none in the month before, and routes whose fares stopped, are listed by start city for Europe and Southeast Asia, and a start city's page names its new ones.

Each airline with many non-stop routes in a region has a page of where it flies, every route by the city it leaves from with its cheapest fare, its cabin bag rule and the routes whose fares started or stopped: Europe and Southeast Asia.

Each stop shows its typical daytime high and rain for the month you're there: a nearby weather station's long-term averages (mostly 1991–2020), not a forecast. A stop with no station nearby shows no weather rather than a rougher estimate.

• The price. Fares change all the time; the live price is the real one. Prices show in your currency (pick another at the top of the page), converted from euros at the European Central Bank's daily rate; the airline or agent charges in its own currency.
• Bags. Low-cost fares include only a small bag under the seat. Each trip also shows its total with a typical cabin bag on every flight (Ryanair about €24, Wizz Air about €37: the middle of the price range each airline publishes for one added with the ticket, read in November 2026). Real prices depend on the route and date. A search counts it in the budget and the order of the trips unless you tick “Only a small under-seat bag”; a flight whose bag price we don't know counts €60, the top of the dearest range an airline publishes, and the trip's total says “about” and how many flights count it. British Airways, Iberia, TAP, ITA, LOT, Turkish Airlines, Jet2, Air Serbia and Aegean include a cabin bag in their cheapest fares; easyJet publishes no price for one, and Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Air France, KLM and SAS now sell a cheapest fare with an under-seat bag only, so their flights say to check. In Southeast Asia, AirAsia, VietJet, Scoot, Cebu Pacific, Citilink, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, Batik Air Malaysia and most other airlines there whose rules we've read include a 7 kg cabin bag in their cheapest fares (Scoot and Cebu Pacific 10 kg); weigh yours. Lion Air's, Batik Air's (Indonesia) and Wings Air's free bag is one for under the seat, so their flights say to check. Every airline, with its source: cabin bags in Europe and in Southeast Asia.
• Airports. Some airports are sold under a city they're far from (Beauvais for Paris is about 70 km out). We flag those, and a city's second airport well out of town (Modlin for Warsaw), name a city's other airports in full, and flag trips where you land at one airport and leave from another. Each airport we flag as far out is listed with who flies there and what flying into it saves against the city's nearer airports: Europe.
• Separate tickets. Each flight is its own booking. If one is late or cancelled, the next airline doesn't have to help. Leave slack where it matters.
• Flight times. A flight shows when it leaves and lands, in local time at each airport, when we know them; when we don't, the trip says to check. A flight in the air at 2am is tagged a night flight, one leaving before 6am an early start, and one landing after 11:30pm a late landing. The fare is the cheapest seen that day, so a flight at a better hour may cost more. Under Set every detail you can leave out flights before an hour or landing after one.
• Into town. Under a flight into a new place, the trip says how to get from that airport into town where we know one: the fastest by train, bus or boat, and a cheaper one when there is one, with where it stops, about how long it takes and the fare, from the operator's or airport's own page with the date we read it. It's never in the total.
• Travelling together. Pick up to 6 travellers under Who's going, and every price, the budget included, is for all of you: each fare times the travellers. "Check price" searches for that many seats; a cheap fare may have fewer seats left at that price.
• Entry rules. Pick your passports under Who's going and the search leaves out countries that need a visa you'd have to apply for, flags an e-visa or travel authorisation, and counts your days against each country's limit; tick “No visa at all” to leave out e-visas and visas on arrival too. Already hold a Schengen, UK or US visa? Tick it: the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Cyprus, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Philippines let some passports in on it, and Türkiye gives them an e-visa, as each government's own rules say (sources); we count only the rules we've read on a government's own pages. Each passport also has its own page (Europe, Southeast Asia): what every country asks of it, what a visa you hold opens, and the cheapest trips it can take without a visa from an embassy. Check passport and visa rules for every country on the route before you book, including the Schengen 90-in-180-days limit if it applies to you (count your days).
• Safety. When Canada or the US advises against travel to a country on your trip, the flight there says so, with links to both advisories. A trip's page also lists every country's level under "Book and check", and says when one changed in the last month. A major disaster alert near a stop (a cyclone, flood, earthquake, eruption or wildfire) is flagged the same way while it lasts. Once you're there, your phone's emergency alerts cover the moment.
• Seasons. A stop you'd visit in the peak months of its typhoon, cyclone or monsoon-flood season says so on its card, and so does a stop whose typical highs reach 35°C. The seasons come from each country's weather service (and the Mekong River Commission for the Mekong); the trip page lists them with links under "Book and check", along with stops at the edge of a season. They're long-run seasons, not forecasts: check the forecast in the days before you go.

The same list to print or pass on, with each region's own figures: before you book in Europe and in Southeast Asia.

If your assistant can connect to outside tools (an MCP server), add https://multitripscanner.com/mcp and ask it for a cheap trip from your city, or from home if you live outside Europe and Southeast Asia (it starts the trip with a flight in from the nearest big airport trips fly in from, as a search here does), or through both regions in one trip from a home that allows it (above). It can ask for the kinds of place, countries, travellers and cabin bag you would pick here, and gets the same trips as this site, each with its link here, where you check the live prices. Given one of those links, it can open the trip again or change one of its stops, as you would on the trip's page. It can also ask for the cheapest fare each day between two cities, or every city one flies to non-stop.
