A MAN has paid just £16.95 for a holiday for two in Barcelona, and it includes return flights.
Geoff Storey, from Skipton in North Yorkshire, offered the tiny amount for the Jet2 holiday.
The low offer is part of Jet2's Bid for a Break scheme, where Brits can bid as little as they like for a number of holidays.
If you offer the lowest unique amount that no one else does, then you are given the holiday for that amount.
Geoff's Barcelona stay includes three nights at the H10 Marina Barcelona for two, as well as return flights from the UK.
Airport transfers, 22kg baggage and 10kg hand luggage is also included.

Geoff said he chose the number at random, as he had always wanted to visit the Spanish city.
Geoff said: “I entered Bid for a Break, as I’ve always wanted to visit Barcelona, and my wife persuaded me to just give it a go!
"I came up with my bid by guessing an amount without any knowledge or idea of what had been chosen before, I just picked a number at random and put it in!"
To get involved, you need to place a bid via the Jet2 app.
