A group of friends spent £30 jetting to Dublin for a night of raving before flying home the next morning - without even booking a hotel.<br /><br />Ben Jacobs, 20, and his two friends, Evie, 20 and Rosie, 18, decided they fancied a spontaneous night out whilst on a lunch break at work.<br /><br />They bagged a Ryanair flight for just £30 each and boarded a flight from Gatwick Airport bound for the Irish capital last Saturday (14/10).<br /><br />Taking off at 7.45pm they touched down just 50 minutes later and headed straight for the Temple Bar area of Dublin.<br /><br />With Ireland playing in the Rugby World Cup, the trio soaked up the "immaculate vibes" as the drinks began to flow in The Temple Bar Pub.<br /><br />After a few hours of bar hopping and a quick walk across O'Connell Bridge, they eventually found themselves in The Academy club.<br /><br />Ben and his pals spent the rest of the night dancing the night away in the club, before making their way back to the airport at 4.30am after a kebab pit-stop.<br /><br />Swiftly through passport control and they were onboard their return flight at 7am, touching down at 7.45am and were home by 10am - for a nap.<br /><br />Ben, a health care assistant from Kent, reckons he spent a total of around £120.<br /><br />He said: "If I could do that every time I go out, I would.<br /><br />"People were so nice, the general vibe in the town, the club, dancefloor.<br /><br />"It was immaculate, it was absolutely perfect.<br /><br />"I'd 100% do it again - it's very doable."<br /><br />Ben received a call from his mate whilst on a lunchbreak, inviting him on the quirky night out.<br /><br />He said: "I first noticed about it last year that people were getting these cheap flights and flying out for the night.<br /><br />"My friend called me on a break and decided we were gonna do it.<br /><br />"It was the newness of it all, the unexpectedness to go for a night out off the back of a flight was really cool."<br /><br />After touching down in Dublin - which Ben had never been to before - he was keen to get into town.<br /><br />He said: "We opted for an additional fee for a coach but it was taking too long and we were impatient and wanted to get on our night out so we got a taxi instead.<br /><br />"The city was unreal.<br /><br />"Because Ireland were playing in the Rugby World Cup it was very busy, but the vibes were immaculate.<br /><br />"After a few drinks the conversations with locals just flowed!"<br /><br />They soon decided it was time for a club, and spent the rest of their night in the Academy.<br /><br />Ben said: "The drinks were quite a lot more expensive than I budgeted for but it didn't matter after a few drinks, the Apple Pay took over!<br /><br />"I started off on single vodka and lemonade limes and then in the club I had double vodka Redbulls and a few shots - true staples of the club.<br /><br />"The conversations with people in the club are a bit hazy but there was one instance where the two friends that I went with started getting a bit tired out but I was still roaring to go so I befriended a new group and lost my friends completely!"<br /><br />It was soon time to call it time on their Irish adventure, and the trio made their way back to the airport - with a greasy pit-stop in order first.<br /><br />"The flight back was around 7am and we left the club at 4.30am,"<br /><br />Ben added: "We went to the kebab shop first though - a long winded way home!<br /><br />"We landed and got ourselves sorted by 7.45am and then our friends picked us up.<br /><br />"I was back home in bed by 10am."
