‘Queen of cheap flights’ explains how she flew to India for £150 & shares hacks
A woman who brands herself 'queen of cheap flights' has revealed how she flew to India for just £150.
While many people would love to travel the world, the big price behind it often puts people off.
Globe-trotters often fork out hundreds and even thousands for long-haul flights.

But, this woman shared that she managed to bag travel to the South Asian country for cheap.
In a viral TikTok clip, Madeleine Jaye explained how she managed to save hundreds on her trip to India.
"I'm flying to India, it's going to take me 37 hours but it only cost me £150," Madeleine said.
She admitted that the journey is going to take her 37 hours – instead of the average nine-hour flight time.
The first flight she took was from Birmingham to Bucharest, Romania which took her three hours and 20 minutes with Wizz Air.
Madeleine then had an overnight stop over and got herself a £20 hotel before she got her next Wizz Air flight.
"I've never been to Bucharest so I get to explore another country on the way," she added.
"Then at 7am the next morning I fly to Riyadh and have eight and a half hours in Riyadh."
The cheap travel enthusiast said that she tried to get a stopover transit visa for the capital of Saudi Arabia but couldn't figure out how to do it online.
She decided to stay in the airport ready for her last flight – with Flynas – to Mumbai, India, where she would land in the early hours of the morning.
"I got to India for £150 so you can't really complain with that," Madeleine expressed.
"My visa cost about £10 and it came back within a day."
As some praised the adventurer for her budget trip, others admitted they would rather cough up the cash for the direct flight.
One person commented: "Ya it's defo worth paying the extra £600 for direct."
Another user added: "Bargain! And although it takes you longer, you get another stop along the way and it’s all an adventure! Wish I wasn’t such a stressy traveller!"

Meanwhile, a fifth wrote: "You and I are polar opposites because I would simply pay to not be inconvenienced."
