I tried the Google tool...
"Sorry, flights from Germany are not currently supported."
"Sorry, flights from Italy are not currently supported."
"Sorry, flights from United Kingdom are not currently supported."
Wonderful. I can find flights from New York to London, but not vice versa.

It's interesting, considering they will provide round-trip flights and list the London to NY flight(s) as a separate item, which would make me think the data is there.

There's also:

More Kayak-like in terms of the results list. Cheapest rates match Hipmunk, though curiously for different flights.

I respect what Hipmunk is trying to do, but I really doubt they are filling voids outside of "this" community. I find it much harder to scan, slower to load, and having lower quality tools for finding alternate (or cheaper) fares.
