'I flew to Ibiza for a night out and it was cheaper than staying in the UK'

Savannah, 22, says she spent less on flights, clubs and drinks in Ibiza than she would have spent on a night out at home
A woman flew to Ibiza and soent the night in a club for less than she would have spent on a night out at home. Savannah Southward, 22, 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 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. They 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,' said Savannah, of Wigton, near Carlisle, Cumbria.
'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.

US Cuba has only one McDonald's - and it's different from every other Maccies

There is only one McDonald's in the whole of Cuba and it is placed in Guantanamo Bay - though none of the local people can take a trip to it for a Big Mac McDonald's golden arches are a global phenomenon, but one of the most bizarre locations for this fast-food giant is in Cuba – and it's not frequented by Cubans craving a Big Mac. Nestled in Guantanamo Bay, where the US still exerts territorial control, this particular McDonald's opened its doors in 1986. Strikingly different from other outlets, this McDonald's sits adjacent to the notorious detention camp, serving only the base's personnel. ‌ With some of the world's most dangerous alleged terrorists just a stone's throw away, it's probably the last place you'd expect to see a Maccies. ‌ Despite the welcoming presence of a sizeable Ronald McDonald and the tropical backdrop of palm trees, the restaurant is also encircled by barbed wire. McDonald's has stated that they have no intentions of expanding their presence in Cuba, suggesting this might be the only branch for many years to come. Philip Johnson of New York University has referred to it as a "site of comfort and nostalgia" for those stationed at the base. A 2002 newsletter remarked: "McDonald's: the name alone is synonymous with the fast food industry, and the legendary tastes of the various delights served here are all seasoned with years of tradition." The internet's been abuzz over a TikTok influencer's claim that Guantanamo Bay harbours the best McDonald's branch, with Coast Guard member Sarah dishing the details to her followers: "Rumor has it that the McDonald's in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is the best, so I am in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — and we are going to try the McDonald's." Sarah raved about the wings being "fire" and a "ten out of ten," while asserting the crispy chicken sandwich was "so much better than in the United States." ‌ Dating back to 1889, when the US helped dismiss the Spanish, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base remains a slice of America in Cuba, intriguingly existing beyond both Cuban and certain American laws, as noted by elEconomista. Despite Cuba's socialist stance, which typically shuns capitalist icons like McDonald's, Guantanamo Bay also plays host to other American fast-food giants such as Subway, KFC, Taco Bell, and even houses a Starbucks coffee shop, complete with a Pizza Hut Express. ‌ Seemingly paradoxical, profits from these capitalist enterprises are ploughed into welfare activities, boosting morale among US service personnel and their relatives stationed there. A significant chapter in the history of Guantanamo Bay dates back to 1903, when a treaty saw Cuba leasing it to America, with the US acknowledging Cuba's national sovereignty in return. However, in the present day, the stunning Caribbean nation disputes the legitimacy of this treaty, viewing it as an occupied territory. ‌ Despite this disagreement, American personnel continue to be stationed there, and notably, numerous suspected terrorists were detained there post-9/11 due to the absence of laws permitting their imprisonment without trial.

The 22-year-old lost to Zheng Qinwen in the quarter-finals at Queen's last week. Having received treatment on court, Raducanu subsequently pulled out of this week's WTA 500 event in Berlin. The former US Open champion is fit again and will take on America's Ann Li at Devonshire Park on Monday. Should Raducanu triumph, she could face two-time former Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur in round two.

Alima comforts Malisha in the dressing room. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After hearing her side, Alima has some thoughts on the situation, heading out to the kitchen to tell Meg and the group: 'I'm not gonna lie, that wasn't nice to see both of you, all the shouting…let's be nice to people.' Meg says: 'I said [to Malisha] I don't want you to feel like this, you're now mugging me off and being disrespectful - I don't want to argue with her.' Shea and Harry in Love Island series 12 episode 7 | ITV Shakira adds: 'I don't think she [Malisha] was being disrespectful going to the Hideaway.' Meg replies: 'That's your opinion, not mine.'

'Got the Receipts' - Islanders get more than they bargained for in challenge Toni in Love Island series 12 episode 7 | ITV Later that afternoon, Tommy receives a text revealing the Islanders will be taking part in the first challenge of the series. The text reads: Islanders, it's time to check out the facts in today's challenge: Got The Receipts! #ProofOfPurchase It's a game of slip and slide along a special Love Island-style shopping till, that sees the Islanders slide down a conveyor belt, swipe their card and pick up a receipt, which reveals a fact about an Islander of the opposite sex. They then have to decide who they think the fact is about and kiss their chosen person, before finding out if they got it right. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ben's up first with a receipt detailing an Islander that was stopped with handcuffs in her suitcase. He's sure it's Helena and gives her a snog, but it was really Malisha. Conor reckons the girl that answered the phone during sex to accept a potential job offer is Toni and they kiss, but in true triangle style - it's Emily. Meanwhile three of the boys - Harry, Dejon and Shea - have actually been busy making a secret pact to completely ignore the receipt questions and just pick the girl that they secretly want to kiss, with the trio agreeing to back each other up with their choices. But which girl does Harry secretly want to kiss? And when Dejon gets the chance to lock lips, is it Meg or Malisha that he's making a beeline for? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad When it's Shea's turn to put their plan in action, he chooses to snog Megan, as Tommy watches on. Then it turns to the girls to slip and slide and they learn some surprising facts about the boys. Yasmin is correct to guess which Islander slept with a 50 year old woman at the age of 19, while one boy is called on to explain why he dumped a girl on FaceTime. And Harry surprises the Islanders when his own receipt is cashed in… Harry, Dejon and Shea's 'plan' comes back to bite them Later that evening, Tommy finds it suspicious that Harry, Dejon and Shea all ended up kissing the girls that they were most interested in outside of their own couples…Harry owns up to their plan telling him: 'We were all like, boys lets just forget the question and just say who you wanna kiss - so Shea was like I wanna kiss Megan, when he read it out, me and D said, 'That's Megan!''

Harry adds: 'The girls are gonna find out!' Tommy then takes Megan to the Terrace and lets her know what he's been told. Megan reels and says: 'We f***ing knew it!' Tommy says: 'Shea said, 'When it's my turn say Megan' - I think that's out of order. I don't like confrontation, but I will stand up for what's right.' Getting more riled Tommy adds: 'He failed, you shut him down and he's still going for it, the only reason I think he's doing that is to piss me off and he's f***ing done it.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As word of the boys' plan spreads around the Villa, the penny is starting to drop with some of the Islanders about the choices that were being made in the challenge. And while Harry protests 'It's only a challenge' Tommy makes the decision to pull Shea.
