I've never used Scott's but why does a non-hub not make sense? Do they only show hub deals? I have done Europe flights out of Atl, Chic, Charlotte, and DC.

I have Scott's. Like it. You can set any departing airport you want. Issue is you won't get all that many deals from smaller airports like Nashville. It'll tell you where you can depart from (i.e. JFK or...).

But..you can use it to find the deals and then consider connecting flights to get there.

However, I've become a HUGE fan of "Kara and Nate's" FareDrop program. Same issue as Scott's, i.e. you obviously get more and better deals out of Atlanta for example, BUT 9/10 times those exact same discounted fares are from your closest airport. Example: I set my departures cities for Nashville, Louisville and Atlanta. I'd have to get to Louisville or Atlanta somehow, so that's time and costs. ALMOST every time I can go to a search engine (like Google) and still find great deals directly out of Nashville even though the alert (and you get these emails all the time) didn't have it. Or, I just drive/fly to those cities and it's still cheaper.

Now, these are currently only coach fares, but well worth the cost (can't remember but it's like $34-$40/year) to me.
