A savvy Brit known for finding great travel deals online has revealed how he managed to take a three-day trip abroad with his close pal for less than £100.   

Callum Ryan, 22, from Milton Keynes, took a Ryanair flight from London Stansted Airport to Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport in Spain for £54 return.

A bus from the airport to the city centre set him back £1.87 and a hotel for his three-day trip cost £30.

And to round off his spending, he paid £13.50 for parking while on the trip away with his mate. In total, Callum spent £99.37 – Just under his £100 target for the trip.

The 22-year-old has shared with his TikTok followers how he managed to keep costs low for his trip, after previously wowing viewers with other incredibly cheap overseas holidays.

Callum, a social media content creator, said: ‘I was surprised that we found somewhere so cheap.

‘We decided to book the trip the day before and to get a full holiday for less than £100 last minute. I thought it would be impossible.

‘It was a fun and enjoyable trip. The best thing for me was meeting the locals.

‘It was out of season and we mainly chilled with the locals – we have made friends for life.’

Callum set off on September 27, and to save cash Callum and his friend stayed in a twin room in a hostel.

His £100 total doesn’t include spending money of around £150 – but he managed to keep costs down there too by spending time at the beach and sightseeing.

It’s not the first time the penny-pinching holidaymaker has taken a trip abroad for a cheap fare – flying to Spain for just £10 in March where he had a pint and came home again, and taking a trip to Dubai this year for a return fare of £64.

Callum also flew to Italy and had pizza for less than the same meal would have cost him if he had ordered from Domino’s.

Callum revealed in a TikTok video that he set himself the challenge of getting the meal and a plane ticket to Italy for less than £19.99, which is the average price for a medium pizza sold by the restaurant chain.

After coming across a last-minute ticket to Milan for £8 and catching the flight, Cal revealed he got a pizza for €11.50 (£9.72) at a local restaurant, taking the price to an overall £17.72.

While Cal was delighted to have met the challenge, people on Twitter noted the that he seems to have left aside a lot of details, including the cost of his return flight, and transfer to and from the airports.

The TikTok user revealed he found a last-minute flight to Milan for £8, and hopped on the plane, using recommendations from the social media platform to find the best pizza place he could.

The pair went sightseeing for the day and explored the town, opting for free activities

He revealed he was greeted with a complimentary glass of prosecco and a pesto antipasti upon arrival, which didn’t cost a thing.

Callum then ordered a margarita pizza, which ended up costing him 11.50euros (£9.72) inclusive of service charge.

This means that the pizza alone cost about half the price of a Domino’s pizza.

Callum also got a drink for £5, however, he did not include this in the overall price tally, because drinks are optional on Domino’s.

He concluded that the trip and the pizza both cost him £17.72, which is £2.27 less than a medium pizza from the chain.

While he was pleased to have completed the challenge, some of his followers were left skeptical and had a lot of questions.

Some pointed out the content creator only booked a one-way flight and would need to spend more to return to the UK.

Others said Callum didn’t tell his viewers how much he paid to travel from his home in London to the airport in the UK, or from the airport to the Milan city centre.

Domino’s also offer smaller pizza from £7.99 and have deals to cut prices.
