If you submit a destination of "all cities" from the "Know Where to Travel" form on the home page, you will land on the Map View. In this section, you can see yesterday's lowest available fare for multiple destinations at the same time. On the map itself, you can zoom in and out of different areas, click and drag the map to move it around, and click on a price flag to find out the travel dates for that low fare.
