If I've 2 tables like this:
Country table : with 2 fields (country and id)
Country id England E France F Japan J
FlightTo table : with 2 fields(Flight ID and Destination)
FlightID Destination B1 E,J B2 E,F B3 J,F
Simplest solution is to correct this table - "Destination" should be two fields (e.g. dest_from,dest_to). Then you could do something like:
SELECT flight_id, c1.country as from_country, c2.country as to_country FROM flight_to, country c1, country c2 WHERE dest_from = c1.id AND dest_to = c2.id ; -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
