Two mums have shared details about their spontaneous adventure - which has left people calling them "legends". The friends had a day off and decided to make the most of it by booking a cheap flight for some winter sun.
They have gone viral on TikTok after flying 2,500 miles for a day out. The mums have seven children between them and decided to spend a day to themselves.
The Manchester Evening News reports they caught a flight to Lanzarote for just £23. Posting to her TikTok account ‘0nlyMums’, the woman decided a day in the Canaries was the best way to shake off the January blues.

“Well my weekend's on the up because I’ve just booked a £23 flight to Spain for the day to blow off the January blues - me and the bestie - the packed lunch is made for the kids on Monday and I’ll be back at midnight!” she said.
In another video, she shared photos of her living her best life in Lanzarote saying it was “better than a Sunday round Sainsbury’s!” She urged people to be more spontaneous, saying you can do more with your day off at a low-cost AND still be in bed for midnight.
“Ladies, if you only think you have a day to spare, make it count! You can absolutely do it. We got up at 3.45am - we’ve had the best day in Lanzarote. 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!”
The video has gained more than 600,000 views in 15 hours and the comment section is flooded with positive messages and love for the mums. Viewers deemed the pair as “legends” while many started tagging their friends in the viral video saying “we need to do this!”
One viewer commended the pair, saying: “This energy is amazing! Well done ladies! Hope you both had the best time!” Another said “This is exactly what life is about."
Others who had also done spontaneous day trips shared their experiences. “Did this for a laugh and went to Germany for the day. Sounds cheesey but you just have to see the whole journey as the fun part, not the destination,” one person commented.
“Great fun. I've done it with work colleagues - done Venice, Milan, Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam, Dublin, all places I would never have seen,” another said. But not everyone has had a positive experience at catching last-minute flights.
One commenter said: ”My mate did this this weekend. It snowed at Manchester Airport and she was sat on the plane for a total of nine hours while they were sorting it out.”
