With summer officially around the corner - and apparently zero prospect of sunny weather hitting the UK (*cries*) - it's no surprise that countless holidaymakers are hopping online in the hope of arranging a last minute sun-soaked trip abroad.
But with flight prices having seemingly sky-rocketed since the Covid-19 pandemic, and accommodation costs increasing by staggering amounts by the day, we can't blame travellers for feeling hesitant about jetting off this year.
That said, however, one TikTok-using superhero has this week blown the minds of their followers by dosing out a neat hack when it comes to saving money while booking a trip overseas.
In fact, the woman's little known 'cheat code' has proven absolutely foolproof when it comes to sorting cheap flights to anywhere in the world.

The woman, who goes by the handle @aroundtheatlas online, took to TikTok to share the money-saving 'hack'.
She began by saying that she needed to 'show you something'.
"So go onto Google and type in 'Google Flights' and click on 'Google Flights'," she continued.
And once you're in, the TikToker says, type in your departure city and put in 'anywhere' and tick 'round-trip', along with the number of passengers flying.

She also advised viewers to leave the dates 'blank' and 'press explore'.
"Does anyone else know about this because I feel like the world is gatekeeping how insane this is," the woman went on to say.
She then explained: "So literally, it gives you fight prices for like ridiculous prices."
Such flights included £26 return flights to Barcelona, £34 return flights to Vienna, and a £54 round-trip to Budapest when the TikToker had a look last year.

And it's not just Europe.
The 'cheat-code' also works for long-haul flights too with £336 return flights to New York and a £507 return to Singapore.
She captioned the travel 'hack' video: "How to get super cheap flights!!"
This is all part of a new feature that Google announced back in August this year, which allows users to find the cheapest flights possible.
And the short clip has since gone viral after clocking up more than 8.6 million views on the social media platform, with thousands upon thousands rushing in to share their reactions.

Many couldn't get over the bargain deals with one TikTok user writing: "Did I just see £250 flights to Dubai."
A second added: "I could fly back and forth to Europe a couple times for less than it cost to get a train to London."
"Going to Manchester is more expensive than Barcelona," quipped a third.

Others were beyond thankful of the TikToker for broadcasting the information with one viewer praising: "Thank you so much for sharing this!"
"Thank YOU! Sincerely thank you," penned another.
A final TikTok user echoed: "I’ve been looking for something like this for yearsss. Thank you ma'am!"
