A travel content creator has detailed an incredible hack that lets you go almost twice the length of the US for less than $180.
Rob Adcock, from the UK, has garnered thousands of followers on the likes of TikTok and Instagram for his incredible travel adventures on a budget.
His TikTok account, @robdidatiktok, has a ton of videos for those seeking to get on holiday without breaking the bank.
And in one viral clip, Rob spoke about how you can get to the Maldives for under $180; well, £133 to be exact, which is just over $178.

To put that into context, the distance between the UK, where Rob is based, and the Maldives is around 5,500 miles.
2,800 miles makes up the distance between the west and east coast of the US - meaning you can travel nearly double the length of the States for less than $180.
So, how on earth did Rob find this incredible deal?
He explained to UNILAD: "So I am pathetic and the fact most people find productive things to do with their free time, I'm the kind of person that will jump on Skyscanner and will flick through and see what I can find."
Skyscanner is a search aggregator site that allows you to find the cheapest flight from any given airport and date.
"What I do is I just go on United Kingdom and click [final destination] to 'everywhere' and it will just rank all the places you can go to for how much," Rob added.
"It [Maldives] popped up and it was like 130 quid, it was ridiculous. How on earth is it that cheap?
"With that one it was just a series of really cheap flight back to back."
In May 2023, Rob found a flight from London Gatwick to Naples for the stellar deal of £21 ($28), before flying from the Italian city to Abu Dhabi the next day for £39 ($52).
The final part of the trip sees you catch a flight from Abu Dhabi to Malé, the capital of the Maldives, for £73 ($98) - making a grand total of $178.
It's worth noting this doesn't include return flights, but this is surely one of the most incredible travel deals heard of.
Rob is the king of travel deals and detailed some of his biggest tips to take advantage of some incredible deals.
"There are loads of little tricks you can do that can get you some money back," the travel content creator added.
"For example, Hotels.com, there's a deal where whenever you book ten nights in a hotel you can get one night free.
"Let's say you were going away for two weeks and you book it through Hotels.com, once you get back, you will get a free night stay."
Rob also spoke about how many cashback sites offer up to 10 per cent on cashback for hotel stays, which could then be used to fund further trips.
Whatever your plans, there are certainly many incredible holiday deals out there.
Happy hunting!
