No sign-up. Drop in the cities and the destination comes out.
It usually breaks down the same way. One of you stayed in Madrid, work shipped another off to London, and somebody landed in Berlin for the cheap rent and stuck around for the scene. Every time a reunion comes up, you have the same chat: meet in one of the three, or just clear off somewhere warmer. And since all three have flights to everywhere, it feels like the destination barely matters.
That feeling is the trap. What's dirt cheap out of Barajas can be a mugging from Berlin, and London's "cheap" flight often leaves from Stansted or Luton at six in the morning, schlep to the airport included. Three massive hubs don't mean three similar fares to the same place. There's nearly always a spot that two of you love and the third one quietly hates.
And that's the real catch. Pick by one person's cheapest flight and the third ends up bankrolling everyone else's reunion without anyone clocking it. So FlyndMe weighs the group total and the split together, keeps the gap between who pays most and least small, and breaks down what each city puts in. Prices come from stored searches and get checked live before you book. There's a link so each person drops in their own city.
Dates twist the whole thing. Come summer, with half of Europe chasing the sun, fares from Berlin and London spike differently than from Madrid, so one weekend can land fair for two of you and brutal for the other. Worth comparing a few dates and sorting by fairest rather than by whatever single flight happens to be cheapest. Shifting the plan a couple of days usually balances the three wallets better.
Frequently asked questions
Why does fairness matter so much with three big cities?
Because almost any destination works out cheap for two of you and pricey for the third, and that third person ends up subsidising the trip without it being obvious. Sorting by the fairest option, rather than just the lowest total, stops the same mate paying over the odds every time.
Where do the prices come from?
From an archive of real searches, so think ballpark. They refresh live before you actually book. They're there to pit destinations against each other and see how the split lands across the three wallets, not to fix the fare to the penny.
How do we add all three cities if we're not together?
There's a group link. Open it, everyone adds their own departure city, and FlyndMe recalculates the cheapest and fairest meeting point. It's free and there's no sign-up.
