'I flew to Ibiza for a night out and it was cheaper than staying in the UK'
A woman flew to Ibiza and soent the night in a club for less than she would have spent on a night out at home. Savannah Southward, 22, booked some cheap flights to spend 17 hours dancing and soaking up the Spanish sun.
Savannah and her pal Leighton Speak spent just £45 on their Ryanair tickets from Manchester Airport. The duo landed in Ibiza at around 10pm before heading to DJ duo CamelPhat's opening party at nightclub Pacha.
The salon owner arrived around midnight and partied until 6am, before the pair headed to the beach. They sunbathed their hangovers away and topped up their tans before heading back to the UK.
She spent £40 at the club and £15 on spending money so in total the trip costs her £100. 'Even though Ibiza is an expensive place I didn't spend more than I would on a night in the UK,' said Savannah, of Wigton, near Carlisle, Cumbria.
'I think a lot of people do day trips abroad because there's always cheap flights and sometimes you spend less than you would in the UK. I would absolutely pick Ibiza nightlife over the UK, it's always so busy with so many options of clubs and music.
'We landed about 10pm and had some pre-drinks before we went to CamelPhat's opening party at Pacha. It opened at 11pm but we got there for about 12:30am and stayed until 6am.
'We then waited on the beach until it was time to go back to the airport about 12pm. We didn't go to sleep but we were definitely ready for a nap when we got on the plane. The whole night went so fast we didn't even have time to think about being tired.
'We both agreed it was the best night out we've ever had and now we know how easy and affordable it is we have rebooked for July.'
The duo took the trip last month flying out on 20 May and returning the next day.

The French Civil Aviation Agency DGAC requested several airlines yesterday to cut the number of flights at airports in Paris by 40 per cent during the industrial action. Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, called for the president of the European Commission to change the EU's air traffic controllers' services. He said: "Once again European families are held to ransom by French Air Traffic Controllers going on strike. "It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays."

Ryanair flights cancelled due to air traffic control strikes
The low-cost airline said the cancellations on Thursday and Friday will affect flights to and from France, as well as flights over the country to destinations such as Greece and Spain. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary renewed calls on EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to take 'urgent action' to reform European Union air traffic control (ATC) services in light of the disruption, which comes at the start of the European summer holidays. 4.7M Ryanair passengers delayed by French Air Traffic Control this year‼️ Full story on ATC 'League of Delays'👇 Mr O'Leary said: 'Once again, European families are held to ransom by French air traffic controllers going on strike. 'It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. 'It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays.' Ryanair has long-campaigned for an overhaul of ATC services across Europe. It wants the EU to ensure ATC services are fully staffed for the first wave of daily departures, as well as to protect overflights during national ATC strikes. 'These two splendid reforms would eliminate 90% of all ATC delays and cancellations, and protect EU passengers from these repeated and avoidable ATC disruptions due to yet another French ATC strike,' Mr O'Leary added. Ryanair also said on Wednesday it had been hit by the recent conflict in the Middle East, and it cancelled more than 800 flights last month. It is among those to have cancelled and rerouted flights amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as continued attacks in Gaza. Last week, flights were halted at Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as passengers were told to expect further delays and cancellations. Ryanair said it still operated more than 109,000 flights in June, indicating that fewer than 1% of flights were affected. The Ireland-based business carried 19.9 million passengers in June, representing a 3% increase on the same month last year.
