weekendflights inverts the flight-search question. Every booking site asks “when are you flying?” and makes you poke at dates one by one; this asks only where, then lays out every Friday-to-Sunday for the next 328 days from your home airport, colour-coded by price. The cheap weekends jump out of the grid in seconds — the whole product is that one glance.
It’s free, there’s no signup, and it doesn’t book anything — it finds the when and hands you off. The simplicity reads as restraint rather than thinness, and the internet agreed: Product Hunt #1 of the day, Lifehacker coverage, the indie-launch grand slam.
What it costs
Nothing. No account, no card, no premium tier in sight. Tools like this usually monetise eventually through booking referrals — which costs you nothing either way.
What we can’t tell you
How fresh the prices stay. Fare-calendar tools live and die on cache age: a grid built from day-old fares looks decisive and then disappoints at the booking site. Spot-check it the way you’d test any fare tool — pick the cheapest weekend it shows, click through, and see if the number survives. If it does for your route, this replaces an hour of tab-juggling per trip.
