The Pain of Multi-Destination Planning
Traditional planning tools just don’t cut it when it comes to stringing together multiple stops on a single journey. You’re forced to juggle separate platforms for flights, accommodations, and routes. You might even miss better deals or smarter connections just because the data isn't all in one place.
Coordinating flights across countries—especially on a budget—can be exhausting. And if your dates are flexible? Good luck redoing everything from scratch each time you shift by a day or two.
We’ve all been there—Sarah, for instance, was planning a three-week trip across Europe. She started with spreadsheets, hopping between tabs and calculating flight times manually. Three cups of coffee and a headache later, she realized there had to be a better way.
Smarter, Not Harder: Enter AI-Powered Multi-Destination Planning
That’s where iMean steps in. Instead of you piecing everything together like a giant jigsaw puzzle, iMean scans flight options in real time and suggests the most efficient routes—whether it's a one-way hop or a looped flight itinerary search across multiple cities.
Let’s say you're dreaming of a budget-friendly Euro trip: Barcelona → Berlin → Prague → Amsterdam. With iMean’s route planning website, you just enter your destinations, travel window, and preferred travel style. From there, the system recommends the most affordable and logical order to visit these places, saving you not just money, but a ton of time.
The best part? iMean’s flexible-date search function means you don’t have to try every possible date manually. If flying on Wednesday instead of Tuesday shaves off $100, you’ll know. It’s like having a savvy travel planner who’s done this before (and checked all the options).

Real Benefits, Real Travelers
Here’s how it helped Jake and Emily, who were planning a 10-day summer getaway through Italy and Greece. They had a rough idea: Venice, Florence, Santorini, Athens. But the flights were a mess—crazy layovers and prices all over the place.
They used iMean’s trip builder to input their destinations and preferences. Within minutes, they had a cleaner route (Florence → Athens → Santorini → Venice), saving them over $300 and a 9-hour layover. That’s money back in their pockets—and time spent lounging in Santorini instead of a departure lounge.
