A cheap flight hack revealed by a travel influencer has gained widespread attention after her TikTok post went viral. Check out the details on TikTok/aroundtheatlas.



Head to Google Flights and type in your departure city. For example, Sydney. In the ‘where to’ box, type ‘anywhere.’ Leave the departure and return dates empty, hit ‘explore,’ and presto, you’ll have a bunch of destinations with the cheapest airfares. Pretty nifty, right?



One user commented on the video 'I travel a lot and always use Google Flights. didn’t know this ‘to anywhere’ though, thanks!' and another added 'Apparently if you search while incognito mode they’re even cheaper.'

It looks like this ‘anywhere’ hack is set to be the hottest travel tip of 2023, with the double bonus that it can save you loads of cash and potentially take you to some unexpected places.

But here’s one important thing to bear in mind: the flights you come across on Google Flights might be super cheap, but the timing of them may not always be the most convenient.



Google Flights can also now tell you the cheapest time to book trips with its 'cheap trend data.' Plus, you can turn on price tracking to get automatic notifications when fares drop significantly.

But before you book, the ACCC advises to do a basic background check on love interests met online and to look out for red flags. They recommend doing an internet search with the name of your sponsor airline, or with some of the phrases they’ve used to try to identify if it is a scam.



So get ready to see the world, Members! With a little help from this handy TikTok hack, you can find the cheapest flights to anywhere in the world. Bon voyage!

Other Popular Travel Hacks

One terrific hack involves being flexible with your travel dates. If you're not bound by rigid schedules, consider flying out on less popular days like Tuesday or Wednesday when airfares are generally cheaper. This also applies to the time of day you fly - red-eye flights or flights during off-peak hours can help save some serious dollars.



Another popular trick among travel aficionados is opting for layovers. Sure, they may extend your travel time, but they can significantly slash your flight cost. Plus, if the layover is long enough, you can sneak in a mini-city tour. It's like getting a bonus destination on your journey!

Now, here's a hack for the wanderlust souls who also love accruing loyalty points - join frequent flyer programs. Whenever you fly with the airline you’re a member of, you grab air miles. And guess what, these can add up quickly and clock in some hefty discounts, seat upgrades, or even free flights. Now, that's a win-win situation, isn't it?

Hold your breath, because we're revealing an insider secret from the hotel industry too. If you're looking to upgrade your hotel room, a good tip is to book the cheapest room and then ask for an upgrade during less busy times. That extra touch of luxury might just be available at a fraction of the cost.



And finally, always pack a multiplug travel adapter in your bag. Not all countries use the same plug points, so having one on hand will always ensure you can charge your devices wherever you are in the world!

There you have it. Alongside the TikTok 'to anywhere' hack, these quick travel tips can go a long way in enriching your travel experiences. So now you’re armed with some of the best travel hacks from around the world, it's time for your adventure to begin. Good luck, globetrotters!
