Nice idea! Although, personally, I just use skyscanner to see prices to various countries and pick whatever is cheap to fly to. Then we check hotel prices and attractions. If those are affordable, off we go!

As for databases - you can use it to cache results for certain directions, this may speed up things as soon as you get some data (note that it may change). Over time you'll collect enough data to be able to build price prediction charts and calculate seasonal trends.
