Another possible bug: when entering a location, I only seem to be shown nearby airports within the same country. For locations near borders (or in small countries) it's easy to forget the nearest airport might be in the next country. Specific examples:
* Vienna, Austria: Bratislava airport in Slovakia is closer than Linz or Graz
* Figueres, Spain: Perpignan airport in France is closer than Barcelona's).
But yeah, very useful idea (and one I suggested to Hipmunk back when they launched but I guess they're already busy enough).
- tomelders 15y agoyup, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'll have to change the display from "airports in that country" to "airports within x miles", possible with a slider to adjust the radius.

As I understand it, Europeans can travel freely within the EU much like Americans can travel freely between states; if an American is going to Austria, is it trivial to land in Slovakia and drive/take a train across the border? (I really don't know; haven't traveled internationally since I was a wee lad.)
- pmjordan 15y agoif an American is going to Austria, is it trivial to land in Slovakia and drive/take a train across the border? Yes, travel visas are Schengen-wide, only residency permits are handled on a per-country basis. There's also no border post to physically stop you crossing. It's more complicated when you stay within the EU but leave the Schengen area. People get bitten by this all the time when they book flights with a stop-over in a country for which they have no implicit right of transit (e.g.: the UK).
