Brit proves it's cheaper to fly abroad to enjoy spa day - spending just £40

Spa days are a huge luxury in the UK and if you're lucky, you might be able to book one a year at most.

They can often set you back at least £100, with some costing more than £400 per person depending on your location.

But one savvy Brit has shown how you can enjoy a spa day abroad for a fraction of the price - with the plane fare included.

Callum Ryan, 22, last month flew from London to Budapest to experience their famous baths, all for under £40.

He picked up a flight from Luton Airport on April 17 for just £17 with budget airline Wizz Air.

As soon as he touched down, the young lad headed straight for the Szechenyi Baths.

His ticket cost 9400 Hungarian forints - the equivalent of £22.12.

The content creator, from Milton Keynes, decided to go on the 900-mile journey after enjoying a previous trip to Hungary's capital.

He said: "I have been with my friends before and I had a pleasant time there.

"So I thought it would be great to go back and experience it again.

"I went early in the morning as the spa can get really busy.

"I did forget to bring a towel with me - so I had to drip dry but other than that it would have been alright."

He pulled a similar move just weeks ago when he flew all the way to Ibiza to enjoy a pint for less than it would cost to buy a crate of beer in London.

It came about after he visited his local supermarket and spotted a crate of 12 cans of Estrella for £15.

Outraged, he was determined to "set himself a challenge" to fly overseas to Spain and sit down for a drink in a bar without exceeding the supermarket price.

Sharing his journey on Tiktok, Callum managed to get lucky and bagged a last-minute flight from London to Ibiza for just £10.

Once on the sunny island, he ordered a pint in a bar for €4 pint, which cost £3.22 in sterling, meaning Callum had just scraped the £15 limit.

"We did it! We flew all the way to Ibiza and bought a pint cheaper than a crate of beer," Callum said, kissing the receipt.
