Brit travelled to three football matches in two continents for just £69
A football fan has found a way to travel to two continents to watch three football matches for just £69 as part of a Tiktok challenge.
Rob Adcock is a sports fan who makes it his mission to find low cost flights so he can attend international football games - and he recently stumbled across a deal so cheap that he said he couldn't believe it at first.
Despite the massively different lengths of journeys, Rob managed to bag tickets from the UK to Italy and then Abu Dhabi for less than the price of a train journey from Stoke-on-Trent to Swindon.
The former journey is around 5,000 miles one way, while the latter is about 121.
"I've found this flight that is so cheap it is absolute madness," Rob begins his most recent video.

The content creator managed to fly from the UK, stop off to see a football game in Rome, and then head on to the United Arab Emirates.
He spent just £69 on the journey after finding a Wizz Air Rome to Abu Dhabi flight for a tiny £48.
In his viral TikTok video, posted @robdidatiktok, showing the deal he added: “I almost don’t want to tell you.”
Rob spent just £21 on a flight to Rome using Skyscanner where he watched a football match before flying out the next day.
This is where things get “mad” as Rob discovered that Wizz Air has opened up brand new routes and he landed a flight from Rome to Abu Dhabi for just £48.
Considering it’s a long haul flight to another country getting the journey for under £50 is an incredible price.

The price of a one way ticket to Swindon on the same day was £73, according to his search.
The football enthusiast won't be stuck in the Middle East however, as he managed to find tickets back for £94 in total.
That means a journey of more than 10,000 miles will have cost him £163.

The journey highlights quite how different the cost of going by train - which is much kinder to the environment than flying - is compared to air travel.
