British woman flies to Lanzarote for the day for just £23 – and even enjoys cocktails on the beach | The Sun

A WOMAN revealed how she spent just £23 flying to Lanzarote for the day – and even fit in some cocktails on the beach.

Rebecca Ratfliff shared her journey on TikTok, being joined by her friend after they spotted the cheap flights.


The two mums, who have seven kids between them, travelled to Lanzarote thanks to the cheap Ryanair flights, spending nine hours exploring the Spanish island.

She explained that while they had to get up at 3:45am, they still had a whole day to enjoy the island before flying home on the last flight back to the UK and landing at 12:30am.

In the video, she showed herself sitting by the beach and enjoying a cocktail, saying it was "better than a Sunday round Sainsbury's!"

She added in the captions: "9 hours in Lanzarote. Brunch, shopping, cocktails – next stop beach!"

"We’ve been in the sea, had three sex on the beach cocktails, been to Zara – what more do you need hun? Book the flight!”

Her video has been watched more than 1million times and people on TikTok were torn, with some loving the idea.

One person wrote: "Why not! Life is for living enjoy."

Another agreed: "Not me immediately convincing the girls this is THE best idea."

Some had tried it out for themselves: "I did this in October -£38 return flights to Milan! 6am flight pasta lunch in the sun had giant Aperol Spritz’s & pizza home for 12.30am."

Others didn't agree, saying it was a long journey for a day trip.

Someone commented: "Over eight hours flying plus airport time and transfers. Just for a few hours? Not for me."

Another added: "Waste of flight money going for a day."

Rebecca also went on another short trip, flying to Ibiza for the day with six other mums for just £34.

Her adventures have even seen her join This Morning, with plans to launch her own travel business.

She said: "Off the back of all the interest we've had I've set up doing a travel concierge business that's going to launch at the end of April

"[For] anyone really. Book for groups to be able to go off and seize the day. It's important that people look after themselves."

They aren't the only Brits to try this out – Abbie, from Manchester, told her 19k TikTok followers about her cheap – and fast – trips abroad.
