If spontaneity is your thing, this is your sign to follow the steps of one brave soul who decided to head to the airport and hop on the cheapest flight of the day.
Content creator Shivani Khosla thought it would be cool if she ventured into Stansted Airport at 5am, picked up her mates and just caught a flight.
In a video she posted on TikTok, she shared with her followers that she and her followers drove to Stansted, London, but ended up paying almost half of the plane ticket price in an Uber. I had parked my car at a hotel an hour's walk from the airport.
She said: “So Ishan found us parking, it's an hour's walk from the airport. And the coach time, the next coach time is 30 minutes, so we left the car. I parked it. I’ll uber it to the airport.”
But the obstacles, which included “20 pounds for an Uber”, may have been worth it as the pair bagged a trip to a “really warm country”.
Tiktoker kept viewers on the edge. At the end of the video, it was revealed that the £38 flight was to Barcelona, one of Spain's top holiday destinations.
Prior to the disclosure, she also shared that her friends actually have two “cheapest” destinations to choose from. Another option is Frankfurt, Germany.
She said: “The cheapest flight was to Frankfurt or this country, so obviously we chose the warmer flight.”
While the price may seem pretty decent, viewers in the comments gave the video creator a run for her money, saying it was the cheapest flight they've ever taken and that some Virgins are definitely It was insane.
One person commented: “Paid £5 to go from London to Rome once.”
Another added: “Paid Liverpool £3 for Milan, Manchester £6 for Corfu.”
The next time you're feeling bored, booking a random flight for the cheapest flight might be your best bet.
