is there a website where you can type in where you live and it will tell you cheap flights to anywhere?

I don’t know about “anywhere” but while I was in Europe I used www.skyscanner.net which was very good for my purposes. What I really liked about this website was that it had really nice bar charts of ticket prices throughout the month, so I could really see how much the few days difference might make.

if you have an account with an airline, like I’m signed up for United, then you’ll get emails with special deals from your city. Otherwise, I have an account with www.kayak.com, which is free to sign up for, and it has the cheapest flights of any website.

where do you live?

san francisco

Aside from doing a regular search through standard sites like Kayak, I also sign up for email notices from Travelzoo and Airfare watchdog (http://www.airfarewatchdog.com.)

These sites send me current deals from my home airport to US and International cities.
