# Midway

> Midway is a free travel planning tool that finds destinations reachable by direct flight from multiple departure cities. Enter two or more cities, and Midway returns every destination with nonstop flights from all of them.

Midway solves a specific problem: when a group of people live in different cities and want to meet somewhere, finding a destination everyone can reach by direct flight is tedious. Traditional flight search engines only handle one origin at a time. Midway searches all origins simultaneously and returns the intersection.

- Free to use, no account required
- Covers the 600 busiest airports worldwide (100 per region)
- Flight data updated monthly, covering 2026 routes
- Supports up to 6 departure cities per search
- Shows the cheapest direct round-trip price per departure city

The app is available [https://app.midway.travel/](https://app.midway.travel/)

Guide pages include a published date and, when content has been revised, a `modifiedDate` indicating when the guide was last updated.
