Hi.

Is there a website where i can enter my origin city and then it comes up with cheap return flight deals based on that city +- a set of dates?

I have a feeling there is bit i can't find it.

Google flights, Skyscanner, Ita Matrix, plenty of them.

Also the NZ site, Seeya where you can set up email alerts with location and pricing parameters etc.

A lot of the main travel sites like Skyscanner etc. are now owned by major hotel/airline conglomerates. They are known to give biased results steering you to their sister companies. So need to use a mix to be sure. Be aware that many travel sites will give different prices depending where they think you are, based on IP address. eg Often get better NZ based deals from a non-NZ IP address. (NZ Rail is big on this.)

Sometimes useful to try out price comparison sites via proxy or VPN

I was having a look at airnz mystery holiday weekend deals but they don't seem to be good value. Doesn't seem to be an advantage to booking on my own.

its $1000 for delux 1 night trip for 2 people. Hotel $200 flights $600 car hire $200??
