A Sydney woman known for her money-saving hacks has revealed how to find the cheapest flights online.

Queenie Tan, 25, who has accumulated 1.7 million ‘likes’ on her TikToks, shared a clip on how Aussies can travel internationally for just a few hundred dollars.

“You need to try this Google flight hack to find the cheapest flights,” she said in the video.

Queenie explained to search ‘Google Flights’.

Once you click on the link, it will direct you to its flights page which comes up with location and date search bars.

“Go to Google flights [but] just don’t put in a destination and then click on this map,” she said.

She also revealed how you can get cheap accommodation through Booking.com. Picture: TikTok/investwithqueenie

Below the search tab you will find a map and once you click on it, it will show the cheapest flights from different locations around Australia and also overseas such as Indonesia and New Zealand.

“It will bring up a list of all the places that you can travel to and the minimum prices for a return ticket,” Queenie said.

“For example, I can travel around Australia for under $100 and I can even travel internationally for under $400.”

Queenie’s TikTok was an instant hint with some saying it’s the only way they search for flights.

She said sites like Cashrewards and Shopback can also get you cash back. Picture: TikTok/investwithqueenie

“Yessss! I do this all the time – it’s the best,” one person commented.

“Great idea! Thank you,” a second person said.

“Cool hack,” a third person wrote.

However, one person pointed out: “Cheapest flights are not the best flights. It’s odd hours, long transits. odd days etc.”

In another clip, Queenie told her 184,000 followers to try her money-saving booking.com hack.

“It will save you a tonne of money,” she said.

“Make sure you sign up for a free genius account so you can get 10 per cent off your bookings.

“The more stays you complete on this account, the more discount you can get, like free breakfast, free room upgrades and even 20 per cent discounts.

“Plus, don’t forget to download free Cashrewards and Shopback so you can earn extra cashback.”
