Two mums flew to Ibiza for 10 HOURS after bagging return flights for £37 - and say it was cheaper than a day trip to London.<br /><br />Clare Jeffs, 36, and Hannah Brown, 38, fancied a day out and decided to hop on a plane to sunny Ibiza.<br /><br />They left for Spain on March 30, 2023, and flew via EasyJet from Manchester airport at 3am - touching down at 9am.<br /><br />The pals spent the day exploring the Old Town, having brunch and sunbathing on the beach before heading back to the airport to catch a 9pm flight back to Manchester. <br /><br />Clare and Hannah got back home Stockport, Greater Manchester, at midnight - in time to wake their kids up the next morning. <br /><br />Clare, a complaints advisor, said: "I had a baby last year. I haven’t spent a day away from her since she was born.<br /><br />"She has some medical issues, so I didn’t really want to take her on holiday. I assumed I wouldn’t be abroad for a good few years.<br /><br />"So, I went to look for a trip out in England - London or something. But the flights were cheaper to go to Ibiza for the day.<br /><br />"I said to Hannah - 'I think I’m going do something absolutely crazy and go to Ibiza for the day' and she said 'take me'.<br /><br />"I knew she would."<br /><br />Hannah, a marketer, found someone to care for her twins - Charlotte and Sophie, nine - and Clare asked her husband, Sam, 32, to look after their 11-month-old daughter, Daisy.<br /><br />Clare said: “I waited for my husband to come back to ask if that is OK because he would have to book the day off to look after Daisy.<br /><br />"He said yes - so we booked it straight away.”<br /><br />The friends jetted off on the two-hour-and-50-minute flight to Old Town, Ibiza, and explored the area before ending the day on the beach.<br /><br />Clare said: “The flight was for 5.45am and was all on time. When we got there, we picked up a hire car and drove to Old Town. <br /><br />"We had brunch, had a walk around the harbour and the old church and just around the old streets.<br /><br />"Then we sat watching the sea from a wall. It was beautiful. <br /><br />"We then went to the beach and ate paella, and then drove to a different beach where we stayed there for a couple hours before leaving at around 8pm.<br /><br />“My favourite part had to be by the sea. I am in my happy place by the sea, it was really relaxing to sit watching the waves and to destress.”<br /><br />Hannah and Clare raved over their experience - despite not knowing the area well before arriving.
