It finds your airport
Open Depart and it locates the airport nearest you. No forms, no guessing which airport a city uses. The board starts from where you actually are.
Pre-launch · Invite only
Everywhere you can go.
One board.
Depart is the departures board for everywhere you can go. Open it, and it finds your nearest airport, then lists every place one plane, train, or bus can take you from there, with real prices, ranked by price.
Depart is in development. Early access opens in waves, and the first members in are the founding members.

Early access is invite only
Depart opens airport by airport, in waves. When a wave opens for your home airport, invites go to the list in order. The first members in are the founding members, and their feedback sets what gets built next.

What Depart is
Travel search starts with a destination. Depart starts with you. It works like the departures board in the terminal, except the board is built for wherever you are standing, and every row carries a price.
Plane, train, or bus. No transfer.
A destination counts if one plane, train, or bus takes you there without a transfer. A nonstop or same-plane flight. A train or bus on a through service, where every scheduled stop is a destination of its own.
Real prices, ranked by price
Every row shows an all-in price, and the board sorts by that price. Check today, tomorrow, this weekend, or any date in the next two weeks, and watch a trip assemble itself.
Hopscotch mode
Weekend boards price the round trip. Hopscotch prices the hop. Pick any row and the board rebuilds itself around your new city, one-way fare first, ready for the next jump.
Every row carries its onward exits: how many places you can reach from there, and the cheapest way onward. A cheap fare into a city with no way out is not a deal, and Depart will not strand you on one.
Why a subscription
Most travel sites earn a commission on what you book, so their rankings answer to the booking, not to you. Depart charges a subscription and takes no commissions.
- Ranked by price, only. The cheapest genuine option sits on top, because nobody pays to move it.
- Sent to the best price, wherever it lives. When you pick a row, Depart sends you to wherever that fare is actually sold cheapest, even when that is not the biggest site.
- The full board, not the paying board. Depart lists airlines and services the big search sites do not carry, because the board is built from schedules, not from who has an affiliate deal.
- Prices labeled by freshness. A fare on the board says whether it was predicted, observed, or fetched live, so you always know what kind of number you are reading.
Short answers
When will I get in?
