The pair had just seven hours for sightseeing before they caught their return flight at 9:35pm. But it was enough time to check out some local activities - including lounging at a beach and getting a cable car up to the Kasbah.

Party animal dad holidays in Ibiza

A party animal dad holidayed in Ibiza, without having to pay for a hotel. The 64-year-old boarded a flight out of Newcastle for £62 and landed on the party island shortly after 7pm, taking only a change of clothes in a shopping bag.

He made his way straight to San Antonio for a pint, before heading to a Fatboy Slim gig and partying the night away. At 6am, he got a taxi back to the airport and had a short sleep on an airport bench, before boarding his return flight at 10am. The flight to Leeds cost just £20.

After touching down on UK soil, he caught a train home, arriving just 24 hours after he left. The whole trip cost less than £200.
