A group of mums travelled to Ibiza for a 12 HOUR long holiday after bagging return flights for just £34 - and returned in time for the school run.<br /><br />Rebecca Rattcliff, 38, decided she needed a day in the sun with her group of mum chums - Laura, Danielle, Danielle, Lauren and Fay. <br /><br />Due to childcare commitments and working on Monday, the six women had just one day free together and had to fly to and from Ibiza in just 12 hours.<br /><br />They flew out of Manchester Airport just after 6am and returned from Ibiza airport at 11pm on the same day - making it in time for the Monday morning school run.<br /><br />The six friends had the ultimate 'Sunday Funday' filled with sunbathing, cocktails and good food.<br /><br />This isn't the first time Rebecca has gone on a one-day holiday after travelling to Lanzarote for the day in January 2023.<br /><br />The travel consultant, from Manchester, Greater Manchester, said: "I have four children and between the six of us we have 15 children.<br /><br />"We were keen to look for a good deal and everybody loves the Ibiza sunshine.<br /><br />"We found Ryanair flights on Skyscanner, and we knew for everyone to be able to come it had to be that Sunday."<br /><br />The group of six booked the flights in February 2023 and flew out for the day trip on Sunday 26, March.<br /><br />Going on a day trip also saved the group splashing out on baggage allowance as they only had to bring a handbag each.<br /><br />They paid £10 each for a return minibus to Manchester Airport.<br /><br />They were picked up by Ibiza by a transfer company - paying 27 euros each to travel around the island.<br /><br />They started with brunch at Passion Cafe in Ibiza Town and then went to San Antonio bay.<br /><br />Rebecca said: "We had brunch at Passion Cafe and had an explore around the marina.<br /><br />"Quite a lot of the shops were shut but it was scenic and beautiful.<br /><br />"We had cocktails overlooking the marina and then the transfer picked us up and drove us to San Antonio bay. "<br /><br />The group of women sunbathed on the beach using biodegradable towels that roll up into your hand bag and expand when wet.<br /><br />She added: "We ended up doing 26k steps just exploring and then we went for a beautiful dinner at a place called Bresca."<br /><br />The ladies then watched the sunset at Café Mambo and were picked up to go back to the airport.<br /><br />"We had to be back at the airport for 8.15pm for our flight at 10pm but there was a 40-minute delay.<br /><br />"We also had no idea what time it was because of the clocks changing."<br /><br />The mums arrived back in Manchester the early hours of Monday morning - ready for work and the school run.<br /><br />Rebecca added: "We were so blessed with the weather - the sky was cloudless.<br /><br />"It was such a good day - I spent time in gorgeous company with supportive female friends all on the mum journey together.<br /><br />"It was a blissful day off to treasure and we all felt we'd been there longer than a day.<br /><br />"You feel refreshed after 12 hours in the sunshine."<br /><br />As an expert in one day trips abroad, Rebecca has plans to partner up with travel companies to offer one-day trips to other women.
