How do you find out what DIRECT FLIGHTS operate year round from the smaller airports? - 1

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to filter by departure airport - even on the individual airport sites!
(It always wants to know where you are going… And even then, the direct flights are not always easy to filter for)

Most small airports only have outgoing flights that go to a nearby hub in a larger city, they don't usually have any direct flights. But, that all depends on what you consider a 'smaller' airport.

Thanks for answering - yes I agree about the 'hub' thing… But there's the frustration - often they have SOME direct flights (often summer only etc) but it is hard to find out which ones go where and when - so that I can plan a route to various places using trains buses and planes to/from smaller destinations.
Just easily knowing Newquay, Exeter, Southampton, Bristol and Cardiff would be a start… But not so easy…

I use kayak.

Just punch in the airport and month to view all nonstops
You'll have more info than your little brain can handle

Obviously the places listed as destinations from an Airport are the direct flight.
Yes there are SEASONAL changes. You make this sound like a horrendous problem in planing a flight to some unknown destination.
I doubt you can have a holiday ALL 365 days of the year. Wanting to get away in Winter then look at the winter schedule. In summer look at the summer schedule.

5 London-Stansted 21,364
6 Alicante 20,725
7 St Mary's 19,253
8 Frankfurt-Hahn 16,933

It is not that hard to figure it out.

If you notice I did not need to say where I wanted to go I just looked for ALL destinatios and it advised which were SEASONAL and guess what? The others are year round. DOES NOT MEAN they go everyday or many times a day but do go regularly ALL YEAR.

Five Airlines to check for their schedules for ONE AIRPORT. You make this sound like some tremendously difficult thing to do.

Took me about 2 minutes to do this.

If you are having trouble figuring it out is there some reason you can't use the services of a TRAVEL AGENT to assist you. They arrange travel EVERYDAY. They deal with Air Schedules EVERYDAY. It is how they make a living.
They can also assist with your train, bus, boat, hotel shuttle, taxi boat, or whatever else you might need on your travel to ultimate destination after the Airport you land at.

You are not required to do it yourself. Travel Agents can do it for you.

The LOW COST Airlines frequently are not listed on the big search sites. That are designed for the larger Airlines that fly to the larger Airports on the planet.
The information is available for the smaller Airports too. You just look a little more for it.AIRLINE by AIRLINE
About 300 or so to look at. Only a few fly to each place. Not hard to find out which Airlines DEPART from a Particular Airport.

UK Civil Aviation Authority has the lists.

Lots of information available if you are willing to PAY for more detailed stuff.

Every airport has a Wikipedia article that shows what airlines fly there and what cities they fly to non-stop from that airport.
