Pages like "price-to-fly-from-<city 1>-to-<city 2>.html" is the main reason for organic traffic decline of many of our e-commerce SEO clients.

These pages don't add value as you can simply have a form and enter both cities and get results. Panda refreshes usually smash these sort of pages hard.

You can use them to land customers from advertisements. Also, ask google not to index those.

Although you wont get any SEO benefit from these pages, your ads will see relevant landing pages and not a single landing page for all ads.
