A British holidaymaker managed to travel to Dubai for just £64 one way - less than the cost of filling up a car with fuel.
Callum Ryan, 22, got a Wizz Air flight from Luton to Sofia in Bulgaria for £21.99, before flying to Abu Dhabi with the same airline for £35.16. A bus from the airport to Dubai set him back £7.51, making his total travel spend one way £64.66.
The social media content creator, who was visiting Dubai for the second time, said it was a 'no-brainer' to take the trip at such a cheap cost.

In comparison, the average cost of filling up a 55-litre Ford Focus with petrol sits at £79.13, according to the most recent figures on racfoundation.org. But Callum says filling up his car costs £120.
Callum, who has 1.1 million followers on TikTok as @thatonecal, went to see a friend and catch some sunshine - and as part of a series of budget holiday challenges. The content creator, from Milton Keynes, said: "It was my second time visiting Dubai - I have always wanted to go back.
"Dubai is a crazy city so to go back for such a small price, as cheap as it was, it was a no-brainer for me. I will definitely do it again. When I got there I made the most of Dubai with my friend. We went to a water park, an off-road excursion and to the mall - it was a crazy experience."
Callum set off from Luton on June 2 and arrived in Bulgaria the next day, eventually reaching Dubai at 11.11pm. He checked in to Citymax Hotel Bur Dubai for four nights which worked out at £21.75 per night, because he split the bill with his pal.
Callum returned to the UK on June 7, and his return journey totalled £72.85. He took a different route with Wizz Air, stopping off in Albania.

Callum has made sure he offset all of the emissions of the trip. In March he flew to Spain for a pint for £10 - less than a box of Estrella from Morrisons which cost £15.
He also went on a spa day to Budapest for less than $10 in April.
At the time of writing, the Manchester Evening News checked and found one-way flights from Manchester to Abu Dhabi via Naples, Italy starting at £66 via SkyScanner.
