Ever since British resident in Mallorca Ben Matthew Saunders, hit the headlines in newspapers, on TV and social media platforms across the UK and the world in February after posting a TikTok about flying to Mallorca for the day and enjoying a full English breakfast for just 30 pounds - a number of other people have followed suit.

My trips from Gatwick were mainly winter, early spring. The day trip to Geneva was in the middle of June , and all trips were with easyJet, and no problems. One could get spring or summer flights at times on the cheap, if not tied to dates and times, i.e. first flight out, and last return flight of the day. All information was again pre COVID.
There must be plenty of empty seats on the flights to and from Palma, to get them for that £30.
Pre COVID, I used to do a number of day trips to Cala Millor from Hampshire England. Leaving my house to Cala Millor and back in less than 24 hours, with the whole trip costing less than £100. Airfares, I was able to get from Gatwick for around £35 return, but not too much more. Real enjoyable trips. Also, as a keen aerial scape photographer, I nonce did a day trip from Palma to Geneva in June one year getting some fantastic pictures of the Alps, and Geneva from France. This trip cost again less than £100 including spending money.
And no tips and walked back to the airport, what a load of BS,
Andy WalkerI agree with you (first time for everything).
Has the day tripper factored in the cost from the airport to "the "fine dining" establishment?
How much did you spend getting to your destination from the airport in Majorca? Did you walk?
@Andy Walker. Yes
Don't you just hate this attention seeking carbon footprint disaster non entity?
