'I flew from Manchester to Ibiza and spent less than a night out in the UK'
A savvy Brit spent less jetting to Ibiza than she would have done on a night out in the UK.
Savannah Southward decided against paying extortionate prices in Blighty. The 22-year-old booked some cheap flights to spend 17 hours dancing and soaking up the Spanish sun.
Savannah and her pal Leighton Speak spent just £45 on their Ryanair tickets from Manchester Airport.

The duo landed in Ibiza at around 10pm before heading to British DJ duo CamelPhat's opening party at nightclub Pacha.
The salon owner arrived around midnight and partied until 6am, before the pair headed to the beach.
The pals sunbathed their hangovers away and topped up their tans before heading back to the UK.
She spent £40 at the club and £15 on spending money so in total the trip costs her £100.
'Even though Ibiza is an expensive place I didn't spend more than I would on a night in the UK,' Savannah, of Wigton, near Carlisle, Cumbria, told Luxury Travel Daily.
'I think a lot of people do day trips abroad because there's always cheap flights and sometimes you spend less than you would in the UK.
'I would absolutely pick Ibiza nightlife over the UK, it's always so busy with so many options of clubs and music.
'We landed about 10pm and had some pre-drinks before we went to CamelPhat's opening party at Pacha.
'It opened at 11pm but we got there for about 12:30am and stayed until 6am.
'We then waited on the beach until it was time to go back to the airport about 12pm.
'We didn't go to sleep but we were definitely ready for a nap when we got on the plane.
'The whole night went so fast we didn't even have time to think about being tired.
'We both agreed it was the best night out we've ever had and now we know how easy and affordable it is we have rebooked for July.'
The duo took the trip last month flying out on 20 May and returning the next day.

Former Babyshambles guitarist Patrick Walden dead at 46
June 22 (UPI) -- Former Babyshambles guitarist Patrick Walden has died at the age of 46. "It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden's death," the British rock band posted on Instagram Saturday. "We feel very fortunate to have known/loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times. Peter, Drew, Mik, Adam." Details regarding the cause and circumstances of his death were not specified. Variety noted that Walden was an original member of the band when singer Pete Doherty and Drew McConnell formed it in 2004. Walden co-wrote six songs on the group's debut album, Down in Albion, then quit the band in 2005 to deal with substance-abuse and legal issues. Walden -- who also performed with the bands Fluid and White Sport -- reunited with Babyshambles for numerous shows over the years, but never officially rejoined the group. The current lineup of Babyshambles includes Doherty, McConnell, Mick Whitnall and Adam Ficek. Their other albums include 2007's Shotter's Nation and 2013's Sequel to the Prequel.

How Lewis Hamilton Made the F1 Movie Production More Expensive
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton contributed to the "F1" movie as a producer with the responsibility of increasing the film's realism. As a seven-time world champion, Hamilton knows a thing or two about Formula 1, having raced for years all over the world in several generations of cars. His extensive experience rivals only Fernando Alonso on the grid, making him a valuable adviser for the movie. The British driver took his job very seriously, making sure his thoughts were taken into consideration. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Photo byHamilton demanded that the lead actors, Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, do several practice laps at different tracks to get a real feel for the cars and how they handle. He did not want to be a token producer, but rather to make the movie as true to the sport as possible. One of the movie producers, Jerry Bruckheimer, detailed the extensive scrutiny Hamilton provided and what he advocated for in the name of realism. "Lewis Hamilton saw a part of it and gave us a critique of how the drivers actually do various things," Bruckheimer said. "The level of specifics that he gave us, like in Silverstone in Turn 3 you're in second gear, and he could hear with his ear we [Pitt] were in third gear. "So it's that kind of thing that he's bringing to the movie. "And he said... when he finishes a race, especially like Singapore, where it's very hot, he can barely get out of the car, they lose 10 pounds... and it's not only him, it's all of them. "They're just completely exhausted [and] we're going to show what it takes to be an F1 driver." The filmmakers made several different decisions to enhance the realism, including using real racing cars, filming the movie at real tracks, and capturing real F1 teams for the background. All these elements further connect the movie to the real-life sport. While the film is better off with all the realism, the production costs went up as a result. "Everything that he has brought to this movie, I can't even express our thanks to him and all the folks from F1 who made this all possible," Bruckheimer added. "But the authenticity that he brings, we can't imagine what goes into what a driver does, and what the sport brings to an audience. "Sometimes we don't like to hear some of the things he says, because it costs us more money to fix things, but we're all in, we want to make it great, and he's certainly helping us." "F1" hits the big screen on June 27. Apple Films produced the movie, and Joseph Kosinski - of "Top Gun" fame - directed it.

Prince Harry and Meghan's Biggest U.S. Scandals
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were frequent targets of the British press as working royals, but it was only after several years in the United States that they began to face controversy across the pond as well. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have experienced successes since moving to California, but have also faced their fair share of crises. Meghan's mock curtsy, Harry's frostbite, and allegations of staff mistreatment have been just some of the moments fans of the couple might prefer to forget. Meghan's Curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II The duchess used the couple's December 2022 Netflix show, Harry & Meghan, to describe her first-ever curtsy to Queen Elizabeth, but it provoked a backlash for allegedly disrespecting British culture. Meghan re-created the curtsy she said she performed, bowing at the waist and spreading her arms wide in either direction. "I mean, Americans would understand this," she said. "We have Medieval Times Dinner & was like that." She had previously described the meeting to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 without mentioning any issues with her curtsy, and Harry went on to say it was "flawless" in his memoir, Spare. Many came away feeling the mock curtsy had disrespected a long-standing British tradition, and the fact that the queen had died three months earlier no doubt did not help. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, on February 9, 2025. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, on February 9, 2025. Samir Hussein/WireImage Prince Harry Mocked Over Frostbite Harry's book, Spare, was released a month later and led to ridicule after he described in detail applying his mother's favorite Elizabeth Arden lip cream to his frost-bitten private parts. "My penis was oscillating between extremely sensitive and borderline traumatized," he wrote. "The last place I wanted to be was Frostnipistan. "I'd been trying some home remedies, including one recommended by a friend. She'd urged me to apply Elizabeth Arden cream. My mum used that on her lips. 'You want me to put that on my todger?' "'It works, Harry. Trust me.' I found a tube, and the minute I opened it, the smell transported me through time. I felt as if my mother was right there in the room. "Then I took a smidge and applied there. 'Weird' doesn't really do the feeling justice." Suffice it to say, the passage attracted the attention of quite a few late-night U.S. comedy shows. 'F****** Grifters' and the Collapse of Spotify Just months later, the Sussexes' Spotify deal collapsed, and just as their team was reassuring journalists the two had parted ways by mutual consent, up popped an executive at the streaming giant to derail the PR strategy. Bill Simmons used his own podcast to fire a parting shot at the couple: "I wish I had been involved in the Meghan and Harry leave Spotify negotiation. 'The F****** Grifters,' that's the podcast we should have launched with them. "I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry, trying to help him with a podcast idea. It's one of my best stories." Meghan a 'Dictator in High Heels' Meghan had long been fending off allegations that she bullied staff at Kensington Palace as a working royal. The scandal migrated to America in September 2024 with an article from The Hollywood Reporter headlined: "Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting on Harry and Meghan." The article quoted a source who said the couple's U.S. staff were terrified of Meghan and that the royal belittled people. Another source said Meghan marched around "like a dictator in high heels," and has reduced grown men to tears. Meghan's team launched a PR counterattack in the pages of Us Weekly, where several past and present staffers praised her. She has consistently denied the allegations of bullying. Prince Harry's ESPY Award In 2024, Prince Harry was awarded the ESPY's Pat Tillman Award for Service, sparking a major backlash from sports fans. At its peak, Mary Tillman, Pat's mother, told The Mail on Sunday: "I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award. There are recipients that are far more fitting." 'South Park' and the 'Worldwide Privacy Tour' Harry's memoir sparked a collapse in the couple's U.S. approval rating, and in the same way that a picture can tell a thousand words, an episode of South Park ridiculing the duke and duchess appeared to tell the story of a shift in American perceptions. The episode, titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour," depicted the "Prince and Princess of Canada" campaigning for their privacy in the aftermath of the death of the "Queen of Canada." In one scene, the couple appears on a fictional Canadian morning show, holding "We Want Privacy" placards. The anchor asks the prince: "Let me start with you, sir. You lived a life with the royal family, you had everything handed to you but you say your life has been hard and now you've written all about it in your new book: Waaagh." The princess said: "I was totally like, 'You should write a book 'cause your family's, like, stupid and then so are, like, journalists." The interviewer says, "So you hate journalists? And now you wrote a book that reports on the lives of the royal family? So, you're a journalist." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
