A BRIT was able to fly to Spain and get a pint for less than £15 – which is cheaper than the cost of a box of lager in a UK supermarket.
Callum Ryan, 22, spotted a box of 12 Estrella for £15 in Sainsbury’s, and wondered if he could get a sunnier pint for less.

So he booked a flight from London Stansted to Ibiza Airport with Ryanair, at a cost of just £10.
Once Callum landed in Ibiza he went to Rita’s Cantina for a pint of the same beer, which cost him €4 (£3.49).
Callum, a content creator from Milton Keynes, said: “I wanted to show how it could be done.
“It also shows that a big night out could be a nice weekend away.
“There is nothing like travelling the world.
“I had no idea about how cheap you could travel – I have been recommending it to everyone.”
Callum flew out to Ibiza on March 27, 2023. He stayed overnight and flew back on March 28.
His hotel cost €60 and his flight back was £10.
Callum shared footage of his trip via his Tiktok channel, which has more than one million followers.
A lot of people who watched the video were inspired to try something similar to avoid UK prices.
One wrote: “Shows how much of a joke the UK is! Let’s all go abroad.”
Another said: “Guess I’m going to Ibiza then.”
It’s not the first time he has pulled a stunt like this either.
Earlier this year he revealed how he flew to Italy to get a pizza – and it still cost less than a Domino’s even with his flight.
He paid just £8 for a last-minute plane ticket from London Stansted to Milan.
In the video, he showed how he packed lightly with just a small backpack before boarding his Ryanair flight – and lucked out when no one sat next to him.
In a follow-up video, he then headed to a local restaurant in Milan, where he paid just €8.50 (£7.50) for a margarita pizza and another €2.50 (£2.22) for service charge.
Adding that to the flight, it means he paid just £17.72 – cheaper than a medium Domino’s pizza which costs £19.99.
Other people have undertaken similar trips too, with a woman and her friend flying to Lanzarote for a day out for just £23.
Posting on TikTok, the pair, who have seven kids between them, decided to make the 2,500-mile trip when spotting the cheap flights.
They then spent just nine hours on the Spanish island, soaking up the son.
In the video, she showed herself sitting by the beach and enjoying a cocktail, saying it was “better than a Sunday round Sainsbury’s!”
Meanwhile, this couple booked a day trip to Barcelona and barely spent any money.
And Abbie, from Manchester, told her 19k TikTok followers about her cheap – and fast – trips abroad, including £10 return flights across Europe.
