Brits urged to use Google 'cheat code' to find cheapest flights for any holiday

People couldn't believe the flights were cheaper than train tickets

If you’ve not already got one booked, it’s that time of year when everyone starts itching for a holiday.

But at the same time, you’re groaning over your bank account because the outgoings just don’t seem to stop.

With everything feeling so expensive, the last thing you can imagine is splashing out on a holiday.

Thankfully however, people are being urged to use this Google ‘cheat code’ to find the cheapest flights to get the f**k out of the UK and go abroad.

The hack previously went viral on TikTok as a user shared the simple trick, leading to many others finding incredible discounts.

And look, I’m not encouraging you to now go and be reckless and book a holiday purely because there’s cheap flights, but if you were already considering a trip, then this could be a real win.

It's a pretty useful trick. (TikTok/@aroundtheatlas)

Travel influencer @aroundtheatlas highlighted how handy Google Flights can be to look for deals.

Sure, using this site won’t be new to many people booking trips. However, the hack really shows itself when she clicks ‘anywhere’ and leaves the departure/arrival times blank.

Within seconds, the app brings up a map with cheap return flights from destinations across the globe – including long haul.

Examples include a return trip to Greece for just £39 or transatlantic travel to New York for £336.

Clearly surprised, she then asks her followers: “Does anyone else know about this, because I feel like the world is gatekeeping how insane this is!”


At the side of the screen, you’ll even get a breakdown of available dates, meaning it’s easier than ever to plan for your summer holidays.

Groups can also use this clever hack, as the app allows multiple people to travel at one time and still get amazing discounts.

The video quickly racked up the views as users went on to plan their next holiday using the trick.

One user even joked: “I could fly back and forth to Europe a couple times for less than it cost to get a train to London.”

Another quipped: “Going to Manchester more expensive than Barcelona.”

While someone else echoed: “I could fly back and forth a couple times for less than it cost to get a train to London.”

Others added: “Why’s a round trip to the US cheaper than my iPhone.”

Meanwhile, plenty thanked her ‘so much for sharing’ the trick as many tagged their friends to plan a holiday.
