All the places you can fly to for less than a tenner including Italy and Spain
Bargain basement plane tickets to destinations across Europe could be yours for less than £10.
This week the shockingly cheap state of air fares was highlighted again by Callum Ryan, who took to TikTok to share details of his adventure to Milan.
He "set himself a challenge" of getting a flight to the and sitting down for dinner at a pizzeria without breaking a £19.99 budget - which is the usual cost of a medium pizza from Domino's before taking into account any delivery costs.
The man got lucky and managed to find a last-minute flight that cost him just £8, so he hopped on a plane the next day and landed in Milan in time for dinner.
Last week two mums went on a spontaneous day trip to Lanzarote, living it up on the beach with cocktails in hand for an afternoon, for just £23.

The low cost of the fares highlights quite how cheap flying has become, despite the enormous per-mile and per-passenger damage it does to the environment.
According to a number of analysts working in the industry who spoke to the Mirror last year, Brits are very unlikely to keep enjoying cheap flights to overseas holiday destinations which currently attract millions of visitors each year for much longer.

The rising cost of air travel will lead many more people to holiday in the UK or lengthen their stays by combining them with remote working, it has been predicted.
The fares also draw attention to the comparatively expensive state of the UK's railway network, which is a much more environmentally friendly way to travel than flying.
Despite a year of shocking service across much of the network, it was announced in December that rail fares in England will increase by up to 5.9% from March in a blow to passengers.
The hike to regulated fares is being capped below inflation to prevent a double-digit hike for travellers, the Department for Transport has said.
Fares are usually linked to the retail prices index of inflation, which would have meant a 12.3% increase if the rise was pegged to the traditional July rate.
The change will come into force on March 5, rather than in January, as was the case before the pandemic.
